Lyrics
So you tried to put a fire out
Attempting to extinguish a fire
But you used gasoline
Using gasoline as a counterproductive measure
And when the congregation gathered 'round
A group gathers, and denial is expressed
You're screaming, "It wasn't me!"
Strong denial, disclaiming responsibility
So there's a sickness that is going 'round
An illness spreading without a cure
But no-one's got a vaccine
No remedy available for the sickness
I think it drowned in holy water
Suggesting a failed attempt to purify with holy water
I think it's time we all come clean
Advocating for honesty and confession
I swear it's like dying to catch a ghost
Comparing a difficult situation to pursuing an elusive goal
It feels like I'm trying to hold smoke
Struggling with an intangible and elusive challenge
I swear it's like dying to catch a ghost
Reiterating the difficulty of confronting the elusive
It feels like I'm trying to hold smoke
Expressing the challenge of grasping something intangible
When the army had to hold the line
During a critical moment, absence from the front lines
Well you were nowhere near the front
Not actively participating in a crucial situation
Before the kids could tell the dog "goodbye"
Prioritizing personal actions over farewells
Well, you were loading up your gun
Focusing on arming oneself instead of emotional farewells
I wanna know I've left the great divide
Desire to understand personal transformation
I wanna know what I've become
Seeking self-awareness and realization
You think that no one else is lonesome
Believing in one's unique loneliness
You think that you're the only one?
Feeling isolated in one's loneliness
It feels like I'm jumping towards a train
Sensation of heading towards an unavoidable challenge
It feels like I'm jumping towards a train
Repeating the feeling of facing an imminent challenge
Well I'm trying to find a way
Searching for a solution to the impending challenge
It feels like I'm jumping towards a train
Recurrence of the feeling of confronting a daunting challenge
It feels like I'm jumping towards a train
Reiterating the sense of approaching a formidable challenge
Well I'm trying to find a way
Persistently seeking a way to navigate the challenge
