Dead Hands
Embracing Despair: Cadet Carter's Journey through Darkness and Redemption
Lyrics
I pray you’re holding on to the reasons that I gave
I hope you are holding onto the reasons I provided
you know preposterous to seasons
It seems absurd or illogical in relation to the changing seasons
way to go!
An expression of approval or encouragement, possibly sarcastic
and I break the silence that surrounds that icy lake
I confront the quietness surrounding a frozen lake
and I’ll grow
I will develop and progress
and rise above the sea
I will rise above challenges like a sea
bewilder anyone, everyone
Confusing or astonishing everyone
come undone
Experience a breakdown or loss of composure
And I place my sorrows
I entrust my sorrows
into your dead hands
To your lifeless hands or unresponsive influence
and maybe shed a light on it
Attempt to bring understanding or clarity
I turn my darkness into your despair
I transform my darkness into your hopelessness
and maybe see the failure that I am
Reflecting on the possibility of recognizing my own failures
And I’m brave
Displaying courage
I’m perished riding on a tidal wave
I am destroyed while riding a powerful wave
and I shake and shiver and I feel
Experiencing physical and emotional reactions
the cold is creeping in
Sensing the encroachment of cold or harsh realities
I’m feeling all alone
Feeling isolated and abandoned
And I place my sorrows
I entrust my sorrows once again
into your dead hands
To your lifeless hands or unresponsive influence once more
and maybe shed a light on it
Attempting to bring understanding or clarity again
I turn my darkness into your despair
I transform my darkness into your hopelessness again
and maybe see the failure that I am
Reflecting on the possibility of recognizing my own failures again
No I don’t need to feel
Expressing a lack of need to experience
the chemicals between
The chemical reactions between individuals
sparks and fear
Sparks and fear generated by interactions
and I don’t hesitate
Without hesitation
I fight before I break my own back in two
I prefer to fight rather than endure severe difficulties
I pray
A repetition of the hope that you are holding onto the reasons provided
you’re holding on to the reasons that I gave
I will continue to grow
and I’ll grow
Rising above challenges like a sea once again
and rise above the sea and then
I entrust my sorrows once more
I place my sorrows
To your lifeless hands or unresponsive influence once more
into your dead hands
Attempting to bring understanding or clarity again
and maybe shed a light on it
I transform my darkness into your hopelessness again
I turn my darkness into your despair
Reflecting on the possibility of recognizing my own failures again
and maybe see the failure that I am
A repetition of considering the potential failure in self-awareness
