Longboy
Unveiling the Silent Symphony of Struggle
Lyrics
They say to move along, but it’s hard to get along
Expressing difficulty moving forward despite advice, possibly due to a personal struggle.
When something’s not right with my air
Feeling that something is wrong with the atmosphere or environment.
They say to get along, but it’s hard to get along
Acknowledging the challenge of getting along with others amidst troubling circumstances.
With what’s going on over there
Difficulty in dealing with or understanding distant or external issues.
Maybe the boy with the lead in his side needs attention
Suggesting empathy for someone in pain or distress, possibly needing attention.
For without it he’ll surely die
Highlighting the urgency of attention for someone with a serious injury, as it may be life-threatening.
But ignorance is bliss and it’s something we’ll miss
Noting the bliss of ignorance but acknowledging its potential loss if one opens their eyes to reality.
Should we choose to open up both of our eyes
Encouraging awareness by choosing to see and understand the world around us.
So I says 'You been hit, how hard’s it hurt?'
Asking about the intensity of emotional pain, possibly metaphorical or related to personal struggles.
And he says, 'Not as bad as the two in my back'
Highlighting the severity of external challenges, overshadowing personal pain.
Said 'I find it pretty hard to move with this subjection around my neck'
Describing the difficulty of moving forward with an oppressive force around.
And maybe the boy with the lead in his side
Reiterating the need for the injured person's perspective and a chance to share their story.
Would like to get a chance to tell his side
Emphasizing the potential loss of awareness if we choose to remain ignorant.
’Cause ignorance is bliss and it’s something we’ll miss
Encouraging the opening of eyes to avoid missing important aspects of life.
Should we choose to open up both of our eyes
Repeating the theme of ignorance as a potential loss and the importance of awareness.
You know, I’m having these symptoms, too
Expressing shared symptoms, possibly metaphorical, to create a sense of unity or commonality.
Is there really nothing any of us can do?
Expressing frustration at the perceived inability to change or improve a situation.
You know, I’m having these symptoms, too
Repetition of the shared symptoms and the feeling of helplessness.
Is there really nothing any of us can do?
Continued expression of frustration and questioning the possibility of making a difference.
So I says 'You been hit, how hard does it hurt?'
Repeating the inquiry about the intensity of emotional pain, possibly to emphasize the emotional aspect.
And he says, 'Not as bad as the one in my lung'
Highlighting another severe physical injury, emphasizing the challenging circumstances.
Said 'I find it pretty hard to move
Describing the difficulty of moving with a compelling force affecting communication.
With this compulsion tipping off my tongue'
Continued expression of shared symptoms, possibly indicating a sense of shared struggle.
You know, I’m having these symptoms, too
Repetition of the frustration and the perceived lack of solutions or actions.
Is there really nothing any of us can do?
Reiterating the shared symptoms and the feeling of helplessness.
You know, I’m having these symptoms, too
Continued expression of frustration and questioning the possibility of making a difference.
Is there really nothing any of us can do?
Repeating the theme of shared symptoms, emphasizing a sense of collective struggle.
You know, I’m having these symptoms, too
Continued expression of frustration and questioning the possibility of making a difference.
Is there really nothing any of us can do?
Repetition of the shared symptoms and the feeling of helplessness.
You know, I’m having these symptoms, too
Continued expression of frustration and questioning the possibility of making a difference.
Is there really nothing any of us can...
Concluding with a rhetorical question about the ability to change or improve the situation.
