Lyrics

Think I'm stranded but I don't know where

Feeling lost and unsure of my location

I got this diamond I don't know how to shine

Having potential (diamond) but not knowing how to showcase it

In the sun where the dark winds wail

In a challenging environment where negativity prevails

And the children leave their rumors behind

Children spread gossip, leaving behind unfounded rumors

As you cross that ?

Uncertain phrase, possibly reflecting a sense of confusion or transition

The matchsticks for my bones

Feeling fragile, like matchsticks, possibly hinting at vulnerability

If we can learn how to freeze ourselves alive

Suggesting a desire to detach emotionally, perhaps to endure hardships

We can learn to leave these burdens to burn

Learning to let go of burdens and face challenges with resilience


Cast out these creatures of woe

Rejecting negativity or distressing influences

Shatter themselves

Self-destructive tendencies, breaking apart in the process

Fighting the fire with your bare hands

Fighting against adversity with bare hands, facing challenges head-on


Now my journey takes me further south

Continuing a personal journey towards the southern direction

I want to hear what the blind men sing

Seeking wisdom from those who cannot see, implying deeper insights

With the fossils and the gypsy bones

Being among ancient remnants and unconventional experiences

I stand beside myself so I'm not alone

Finding solace in one's own company to avoid loneliness

How can I make new again?

Questioning how to rejuvenate or renew oneself

Or rust every time it rains?

Contemplating resilience against the corrosive effects of challenges

And the rain, it comes

Metaphorical rain representing challenges or difficulties

Floods are low

Facing difficulties but persisting despite adversity

But you stop until the tidal waves wake

Persevering until a significant challenge (tidal waves) arises


If I wake up and see my maker coming

Awareness of a higher power or force approaching

With all of his crimson and his iron desire

Describing a powerful and intense encounter with a divine presence

We'll drive the streets with baggage alone

Navigating through life's challenges with personal baggage

To be lost, I strive from a void

Striving to find meaning or purpose in the vastness of existence

To a grain of sand in your hand

Transitioning from insignificance to a small but meaningful presence


Ah

Repetitive vocalizations, possibly expressing emotions or an indescribable state

Ah oh oh

Ah oh oh

Ah oh oh
