Vital Signs
Dismantling Beliefs: Unveiling the Struggle Within
Lyrics
This building is barely standing on its own foundation
This building is unstable, relying on a weak foundation.
I've collapsed its lungs, calloused its heart
The speaker has figuratively damaged the core (lungs and heart) of this structure.
Sucked the life out of this, for all of Sunday to see, for all of Sunday to see
The speaker has drained the vitality from something, visible to everyone on Sundays.
I've collapsed its lungs, calloused its heart
Repetition of lines 2 and 3 for emphasis.
Sucked the life out of this, for all of Sunday to see, for all of Sunday to see
-I've taken the breath out of everything they believe
The speaker has undermined or invalidated the beliefs of others.
I've taken the breath out of everything they believe
Repetition of line 7 for emphasis.
Everything they hold true
The speaker has challenged everything that others consider true.
Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one sees my effort
The speaker is addressing a futile effort to communicate with those who cannot perceive or understand.
No one gets the point
No one comprehends the speaker's intentions or message.
No one sees my effort
Repetition of line 11 for emphasis.
No one gets the point
-Welcome to my dying home (Dying house)
The speaker refers to their living space as a dying home.
Welcome inside these crumbling walls
Inviting others to witness the deterioration of the speaker's environment.
A meaningless handshake greets them all with smiles of false hope
A symbolic gesture of false hope is extended through a meaningless handshake.
Welcome to my dying home (Dying house)
Repetition of lines 15-17 for emphasis.
Welcome inside these crumbling walls
-Do I even care as I watch a sea of people
The speaker questions their concern while observing a crowd.
Dwindling into an audience of skin and bones
The crowd is diminishing into frail individuals.
An audience who doesn't have the strength to walk out on
The audience is trapped, lacking the strength to leave.
A man who has tarnished their faith
The speaker acknowledges their role in damaging the audience's faith.
I've taken the breath out of everything they believe
Repetition of line 7, emphasizing the impact on others' beliefs.
I've taken the breath out of everything they believe
-Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one sees my effort
Repetition of lines 10-13, emphasizing the futile communication.
Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one gets the point
