The Things They Carried
Unveiling the Silent Struggles: Clair de Lune's Powerful Narrative
Lyrics
Watch them gather.
Observing a gathering of people.
Polish their wallets.
Polishing their wallets, symbolizing materialism or wealth.
They're barely glancing to the floor where we lie.
People paying little attention to those on the floor.
This time it's silenced waiting to be excused.
A moment of silence, anticipating permission or dismissal.
She points her finger.
A woman pointing, possibly assigning blame or responsibility.
Far away they fall down.
People falling in the distance, metaphorically or literally.
Creating machines built to overflow.
Creation of excessive, overflowing machinery.
Reflecting promises.
Reflection of unfulfilled promises.
They don't know anymore.
Uncertainty in their knowledge or understanding.
These are the things that will never be set right.
Irreparable things that can never be corrected.
Setting in old.
Establishing in the old, possibly traditions or habits.
Setting in full shimmering.
Fully establishing in a shimmering manner, suggesting intensity.
Born into class to work.
Born into a social class destined for labor.
Buy.
Action of buying.
Consume.
Action of consuming, possibly goods or experiences.
Die.
Action of dying, a stark reality.
Setting in old.
Establishing in the old again.
Setting in full shimmering.
Fully establishing, shining brightly.
I'm drowning.
Feeling overwhelmed, possibly by circumstances.
These men know their time's coming.
Awareness among individuals that their time is approaching.
Setting in old.
Reiteration of establishing in the old.
Setting in full shimmering.
Reiteration of fully establishing, shimmering intensely.
More to lead me out of their way.
Seeking guidance to navigate away from their path.
I'm tired of falling away this time I'll push and they'll stay.
Fatigue with a determination to resist falling this time.
Crossing yellow lines.
Crossing boundaries, possibly taking risks.
Concepts are rolling.
Abstract ideas are unfolding or progressing.
Should I have walked a step before they all fall.
Contemplating whether to act before others face consequences.
This amber light that's shining.
An amber light symbolizing a guiding force.
They all fall
All individuals eventually succumb or fall.
