Lyrics
Wasting the clock away, leading myself astray
Feeling unproductive and aimless, wasting time and leading oneself astray.
Plunging in my self-decay
Falling into a state of self-destruction and decay.
I have lost my way
Expressing a sense of being lost and directionless.
I have lost my way
Reiteration of feeling lost, emphasizing the emotional state.
Without a single sound,
Describing a quiet or silent situation.
The leaves fall to the ground
Using falling leaves as a metaphor for the passage of time.
And the months keep passing me by
Time is passing swiftly, months are going by unnoticed.
I have lost my way
Reiteration of feeling lost and adrift in life.
I have lost my way
Emphasizing the persistence of being lost.
Further and further, I stray
Continuing to move away from a desired path or goal.
The grains of sand carry on their descent
Describing the continuous flow of time through the imagery of falling sand.
Falling faster by the hour
Time is slipping away rapidly.
Tomorrow is already dead, murdered by these thoughts never put in motion
Expressing regret for not acting on thoughts and ideas, causing the death of potential opportunities.
Tomorrow is a day I dread; I fear that my actions won't lead me ahead
Dreading the future and fearing that current actions may not lead to positive outcomes.
I know I can do better instead
Acknowledging the capability to do better and make positive changes.
I know I'm more than a threat to myself
Recognizing that one poses a threat to their own well-being.
I know I can do better instead
Reiterating the belief in personal improvement and the ability to overcome self-destructive tendencies.
I know I'm more than a threat to myself
Acknowledging the awareness of being a danger to oneself.
Decades are fading before my eyes
Noting the passage of decades with a sense of time slipping away.
A quarter of life in the blink of an eye
Highlighting the speed at which a significant portion of life has passed.
Fuck
An expression of frustration or disappointment.
Quarter of life in the blink of an eye
Repeating the idea of a quarter of life passing quickly.
So many years gone by
Reflecting on the many years that have gone by.
Decades are fading before my eyes
Reiterating the fading of decades before one's eyes.
A quarter of life in the blink of an eye
Stressing the swiftness of a quarter of life passing in the blink of an eye.
Wasting the clock away, leading myself astray
Repeating the theme of wasting time and losing direction.
Plunging in my self-decay
Continuing the description of self-destruction and decay.
I have lost my way
Reiterating the feeling of being lost and adrift.
I have lost my way
Emphasizing the persistence of feeling lost.
Without a single sound,
Describing a quiet or silent situation, similar to line 6.
The leaves fall to the ground
Using falling leaves as a metaphor for the passage of years, emphasizing the longer-term perspective.
And the years keep passing me by
Years are passing swiftly, emphasizing the longer time frame.
I have lost my way
