Nights in the Desert
Desolate Journey: A Tale of Isolation
Lyrics
Lines of contrition painted on your face
Lines of remorse or regret are visible on your face.
Guise of a smile
You wear a fake smile as a disguise.
Do you have no shame
Questioning if you lack a sense of guilt or embarrassment.
Noise pollution deafens though your mouth wields only breath
Though you speak, your words are like noise pollution, lacking substance.
Deceitful transgressions and carelessness
You engage in deceitful actions and display carelessness.
Run. You're wounded. Rabid
You're advised to run, as you're wounded and behaving aggressively like a rabid creature.
Find a new home
Suggesting the need to find a new place or situation.
Hide. You're damaged. Savage
Hide because you're damaged and exhibit savage behavior.
Fit to die alone
Implying that you are destined to face death alone due to your condition.
World’s not safe for strangers; quit your hitchhiking
The world is not safe for strangers, and you're advised to stop hitchhiking.
Talking on your telephones of tin can and string
People talk using primitive communication methods, symbolized by tin can and string telephones.
As your conversations falter, you can feel your knees growing weak
Your conversations are faltering, leading to a sense of physical weakness.
Connections all short-circuit from blind disease
Connections break down due to a metaphorical blind disease, disrupting relationships.
Run. You're wounded. Rabid
Reiteration of the advice to run because of being wounded and rabid.
Find a new home
Reiterating the need to find a new place or situation.
Hide. You're damaged. Savage
Reiterating the advice to hide due to being damaged and displaying savage behavior.
Fit to die alone
Repeating the idea that you are destined to face death alone.
As your soul levitates to the sky
Your soul ascends to the sky, but your eventual fall is a consequence of your own actions.
Your inevitable descent is of your own device
There will be no happy ending for your story; your downfall is self-inflicted.
No happy ending for this fabled tale
Highlighting the absence of a positive resolution in this fabled tale.
Heart for the mending much to no avail
Your heart is beyond repair, and attempts at mending it are futile.
Does your world outside slowly wither
Questioning if your external world is slowly deteriorating.
All your trees dissolve into dust
Alluding to the disintegration of meaningful elements in your life, represented by trees turning to dust.
Nights in the desert alone with selfish love
You spend nights in the desert, isolated with a self-centered or selfish form of love.
