Reflections of Isolation: A Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
Self deprecation isn't modesty, it's self obsession
Self-deprecation is not humility but rather a form of self-obsession.
And living in the past is called depression
Living in the past is described as depression.
But if this isn't news to you, it's nothing pressing
If the previous insights are not new to the listener, there's no urgency or significance.
And I wonder what it'd be like
The curiosity about experiencing a life of isolation is expressed.
To live in isolation for the rest of my life
Imagining a life secluded from others for the entirety of one's existence.
Talk to inanimate objects and try to stay out of light
Contemplating talking to inanimate objects and avoiding exposure to light in this isolated life.
I'd be a hermit, it'd be worth it
Choosing a hermit lifestyle is deemed worthwhile and good.
It'd be good
Reinforcing the positive aspects of being a hermit.
If there is anyone out there
Expressing a desire for connection with someone, perhaps metaphorically.
Way in the air, a puppeteer
Describing a distant puppeteer controlling events in the air.
If there is anyone up there
Asking if there is anyone above and requesting their involvement.
Let down your hair
A play on the Rapunzel fairy tale, asking for help or communication.
Said you needed space
Referring to a need for personal space in a relationship.
I went into real estate
Choosing a drastic change, entering real estate, in response to the need for space.
But you needed space
Reiterating the partner's need for space and the inability of the shuttle to fulfill that distance.
And the shuttle couldn't take you far enough away
Highlighting the persistence of anxiety in various situations and the inevitability of the future.
Anxiety's alive in every absolute and now the future's the truth
Living life as a victim, feeling helpless in the face of abuse.
I live life like a victim at the hands of abuse
Stating that different situations yield no better outcome or solution.
It's no better, it's no different, it's no use
Reiterating the desire for connection with someone above, emphasizing fairness.
If there is anyone up there
Repeating the plea for involvement from someone above.
And if you care, would you let down your hair
Expressing the unfairness of the situation and dismissing the idea of it being a fairy tale.
It's not fair, isn't fair, isn't a fairy tale
Encouraging a realistic perspective.
Get real
Nostalgically recalling a time when ignorance shielded from certain realizations.
Remember when we were too dumb to notice
Reflecting on a time when change seemed unnecessary.
Had no good reason to change
Acknowledging personal growth and change.
Till I did
Contemplating ways to disintegrate or break down aspects of life.
And I've been thinking of ways
Expressing a desire to burn everything down and experience intense emotions.
I could disintegrate
Seeking a release or escape through hyperventilation.
Burn the whole thing down
Musing about sending signals through space, possibly seeking a response or connection.
And hyperventilate
Asking for assistance or a powerful impact on a grand scale.
Sending signals through space
Continuing the theme of signaling through space, seeking a significant outcome.
If you hear em, could you blow us all away
Requesting a transformative impact or response if the signals are received.
Blow us all away
Emphasizing the desire for a powerful impact or change through the signals.
Sending signals through space
Repeating the plea for a powerful response or outcome through the signals.
If you hear em, could you blow us away
Reiterating the desire for a powerful impact, potentially on a larger scale.
BLOW US AWAY
Emphasizing the plea for a significant impact or change through the signals.
Sending signals through space
Continuing the plea for a transformative response or outcome through the signals.
If you hear em, could you blow us all away, us all away
Repeating the desire for a powerful impact, possibly on everyone.
Sending signals through space
Continuing the plea for a transformative response or outcome on a larger scale.
If you hear em, could you blow us away
Reiterating the desire for a powerful response, potentially affecting everyone.
BLOW US AWAY
Concluding with a strong plea for a significant impact or change through the signals.
