Terminal Diagnosis
Unveiling the Paradox: Embracing Change Amidst Decay
Lyrics
To see in from the outside
To observe from an external perspective
To see from another perspective
Gaining insight from a different point of view
To witness without attachment
Observing without emotional involvement
To be unbound by emotion
Being free from the influence of emotions
A freedom that escapes
A liberation that eludes
From the strain that will not see
Escaping the pressure that remains unseen
Yet condemns those of the same sickness
Yet condemning those with the same affliction
So as it thrives, so do you decay
As the affliction prospers, so does one's deterioration
The virus mutates its innocence away
The virus undergoes changes, losing its innocence
A rose by any other name
Using a metaphor (rose) to convey that things decay regardless of names
Shrivels and dies all the same
Highlighting the inevitability of decay
Embrace the change and realign
Embrace change and reorient to dispel darkness
To cast the shade away
Removing shadows through transformation
So as it thrives, so do you decay
Parallel to line 9, linking prosperity of a negative force with personal decline
The virus mutates its innocence away
Reiteration of the virus evolving and losing its innocence
They hold their own key to the cure
They possess the solution but choose to ignore it
Where both can survive
A situation where both parties can survive
Yet they choose to turn eyes blind
Choosing to remain oblivious to the solution
So as it thrives, so do you decay
Recurrence of the theme: as the negative force thrives, personal decay follows
The virus mutates its innocence away
Reiteration of the virus transforming and losing innocence
They hold their own key to the cure
Repetition of holding the solution but not utilizing it
Where both can survive
Restating the potential for both to survive if the solution is acknowledged
Yet they choose to turn eyes blind
Despite having the solution, choosing to ignore it
