Black Seas
Sailing Through Pain: Exploring Unspoken Bonds
Lyrics
Brother, the bodies are falling again
Expressing sorrow over the recurring deaths.
the days drag and the sunlight is no one's friend
Describing monotonous, dreary days where sunlight feels unwelcoming.
I write my life hour to hour, unsorted as ever
Depicting a disorganized life, lived hour by hour without structure.
but I can't help but pick you up
Feeling compelled to assist despite chaos.
Brother, so much history in your head
Recognizing a wealth of experiences in someone's mind.
You've been all around but now your eyes are dim
Acknowledging weariness despite extensive experiences.
The shrapnel, death, and the bombs and you still carried on
Referencing surviving through turmoil but avoiding confrontation.
But you can't look me in the face
Not being able to face personal connections or emotions.
Brother, you're sailing black seas again
Returning to a state of darkness or despair.
You're in the city where nothing is forbidden
Being in a place where rules seem nonexistent.
The ghost wanders abound while the chill of secrecy clouds
Describing hidden troubles amidst an environment of secrecy.
but you can't bear to leave the house
Struggling to leave the safety of home despite difficulties.
Brother, we'll count and bury the dead
Committing to acknowledging and honoring the dead.
Like two birds on fire who can be forgiven
Feeling culpable for actions that might be forgiven.
I'll crash my plane into yours and we'll go down together
Metaphorically choosing to face consequences together.
and hope we never go back
Wishing to avoid returning to a previous undesirable state.
Too far gone
Expressing a sense of irreparable distance.
are we just too far gone
Questioning if the situation is beyond redemption.
how I thought we could call the shots
Reflecting on the loss of control over circumstances.
now we're just too far gone
Accepting that the situation has deteriorated beyond repair.
