At a Loss
Navigating Loss and Social Struggle
Lyrics
Such sour times the likes that we've never seen
Expressing unprecedented difficult times with a bitter flavor.
With so much said no time for what it might mean
Too much talk and not enough reflection on its significance.
One final straw from an ambiguous start
Referring to a critical moment stemming from an unclear beginning.
So many battered bodies and nearly broken hearts
Describing widespread suffering and almost shattered emotions.
We're far from isolated and with no need to guess
Emphasizing the lack of isolation and no need for speculation.
We're getting even more by begging for so much less
Ironically gaining more by requesting less, questioning societal values.
Digging in your heels will only increase the flame
Warning against stubbornness, which fuels conflicts.
How could we progress when you refuse any blame
Criticizing the hindrance of progress through refusal to accept responsibility.
I'm at a loss once again
Expressing a state of confusion or bewilderment.
The heavy cost makes my head spin
The significant toll creates disorientation.
I'm at a loss with what I could say
Feeling unable to articulate thoughts effectively.
I guess I could never understand quite how it be's that way these days
Expressing difficulty in comprehending the current state of affairs.
There wouldn't be so many without a just cause
Highlighting the numerous instances of injustice.
Questioning the methods of those enforcing the laws
Questioning the methods employed by law enforcement.
Behavior needs to change, and we need something new
Calling for behavioral change and the need for new approaches.
When the deaths don't seem to matter what else is left to do
Expressing despair when deaths seem to have no impact.
A higher standard has to then apply at times
Advocating for a higher moral standard during certain situations.
With well-defined limits and with these obvious crimes
Calls for clear limits and consequences for evident wrongdoing.
So many on the streets screaming with tears in their eyes
Depicting the emotional outcry of those protesting with tears.
The unacknowledged deaths followed by so many lies
Referring to unacknowledged deaths followed by deceit.
I'm at a loss once again
Reiterating a sense of confusion or helplessness.
The heavy cost makes my head spin
Highlighting the overwhelming personal and societal cost.
I'm at a loss with what I could say
Expressing difficulty in finding words to address the situation.
I guess I could never understand quite how it be's that way these days
Reiterating the challenge in understanding the current state of affairs.
