Skydive
Skyscraper Solitude: A Leap into Redemption
Lyrics
There's a man on the roof
There is a man on the roof
Ignoring the fireworks
He is ignoring the fireworks
The city walks by unmoved
The city is passing by without affecting him
Their laughter looks like tears
Others' laughter appears to him as tears
On top of a skyscraper
He is on top of a skyscraper
With a foundation of fears
The foundation beneath him is built on fears
Hopes deferred and dreams
His hopes are delayed, and dreams seem unattainable
He thinks can't come true
He believes certain dreams cannot be realized
The city keeps hurting him
The city is causing him pain
He crawls to it for medicine
He turns to the city as if seeking medicine
All the answers are here
All the answers he seeks are in the city
He's asking the wrong questions
However, he is asking the wrong questions
On top of a skyscraper
Again, he is on top of a skyscraper
With a foundation of fears
The foundation beneath him is still based on fears
Empty works and dreams
His efforts and dreams seem empty
He thinks can't come true
He believes certain dreams are unattainable
For what can he do?
He questions his capability to change things
What has he to offer to You?
He wonders what he can offer to a higher power
Your Majesty, he's jumping
A plea to a higher authority, referring to "Your Majesty"
He's jumping
The man is contemplating jumping
He's falling
He is falling
Into Your arms
Falling into the embrace of the higher power ("Your arms")
