Lyrics
In the end, we weren't much
In the end, our relationship didn't amount to much.
With the hollow space
A feeling of emptiness or void.
Shrank down inside of all of us
This emptiness affected all of us, causing a collective sense of diminishment.
For the good
For the benefit or well-being.
Of all man
For the benefit of all humanity.
Hold me down
An urging to keep restrained or subdued.
Underwater and don't let me up again
A metaphorical request to be submerged in difficulties without respite.
No control
Repetition emphasizing a sense of lacking restraint or direction.
No control
-No control
-No control
-Be for someone else
Consider being with someone else for a change.
Love is in your actions
True love is evident through actions, not just words.
I got a job
A distraction-seeking job to cope with the situation.
So let me find 10 million distractions
Seeking numerous distractions, possibly to avoid confronting reality.
Some get sick
Varied responses to challenges, some suffering without finding a cure.
Some don't get cured
-That's how it goes
Expressing acceptance of life's unpredictable nature.
But the worst is over
Implies that the worst part of a situation has passed.
Chum and throw me overboard
Metaphorically suggesting abandonment or rejection.
No control (I thought I knew the way out but then)
Reiteration of the lack of control, accompanied by voices and a sense of recurrence.
No control (It started over again)
-No control (I hear your voice coming through the grate)
-No control (I know it)
-Holding the mic to this pillar of salt
Symbolic action of holding a microphone to something unresponsive, representing a futile attempt to communicate.
She won't see anything at all
-Kiss me once on each eyelid
A romantic gesture, possibly expressing a desire for clarity in understanding.
So I can see how I dreamed it
-No control
Continued emphasis on the theme of lack of control, with echoes of voices and a sense of familiarity or repetition.
No control
-No control
-No control
-No control (I thought I knew the way out but then)
-No control (It started over again)
-No control (I hear your voice coming through the grate)
-No control (I know it)
