Apocalyptic Blues
Surviving the Inferno: Bryan Elijah Smith's Apocalyptic Reflections
Lyrics
Well I w when the world is burning down
Expressing a sense of awareness or realization when confronted with a world in chaos.
And I woke with this oke with no one else around
Feeling alone upon waking, possibly emphasizing a personal struggle or isolation.
It's hard to get upmadness in my mind
Describing the difficulty of overcoming inner turmoil or madness.
I'd paint a pretty picture if I knew where to draw the line
Expressing a desire to create something beautiful but uncertain where to set boundaries.
How you gonna walk if you don't wanna crawl
Questioning the ability to progress without facing challenges or difficulties.
Why you wanna jump if you don't wanna fall
Challenging the idea of taking risks without being willing to accept the consequences.
And I got nothing
Stating a lack of possessions or achievements.
Nothing to prove
Emphasizing a lack of need to prove oneself to others.
I keep fighting these apocalyptic blues
Expressing an ongoing struggle with a sense of impending doom or crisis.
Well I woke with this sadness in my heart
Waking up with a deep sadness in the heart, possibly alluding to emotional pain.
I forget the role I'm playing, I forget the part
Forgetting one's role or purpose, highlighting a sense of confusion or existential doubt.
And I woke with this madness in my mind
