Field of Ashes
Navigating the Field of Ashes: Unveiling the Depths of Emotion
Lyrics
A courtesy laugh, a sympathy smile
A polite laugh given as a courtesy, and a smile expressing sympathy
A single thing to get me by
A single thing providing solace or support to help cope
I think I did the math, and yeah it's been a while
After calculating or reflecting, it has been a long time
A feeling that I can't define
An indescribable emotion or sensation
Off my mind
Freeing oneself from troubling thoughts
I've waited all these years to see you in the mirror
Years of anticipation to see oneself reflected in the mirror
And find a way beneath the surface
Searching for a deeper understanding beneath the surface
We share the same fear, alone we're standing here
Sharing a common fear, standing alone, striving for purpose
Just trying to fulfill the purpose
Attempting to fulfill a meaningful purpose
And all of them are off, there's too many to blame
Many to blame, chaos and confusion in the field of ashes
They run around our field of ashes
People running around in a metaphorical field of destruction
Just chalk it up to luck, no skill within the game
Attributing events to luck, lacking skill in the game of life
You gotta pick me up, I'm crashing down
Requesting assistance as emotions are crashing down
You shot me to the stars, I drove you to the moon
A metaphorical journey where one elevated the other
I'm living in the space behind
Existing in a space between achievements and reality
We took it pretty far, too much too soon
Moving too fast, resulting in a premature separation
A separation of design
A divergence from the intended plan or purpose
Off my mind
Similar to line 5, freeing the mind from troubles
I've waited all these years to see you in the mirror
Repeating the anticipation of self-reflection in the mirror
And find a way beneath the surface
Continuing the search for deeper understanding beneath the surface
We share the same fear, alone we're standing here
Reiterating shared fears and the pursuit of purpose
Just trying to fulfill the purpose
Continuing the attempt to fulfill a meaningful purpose
No one is safe, we're not okay
Expressing a lack of safety and well-being, struggling
It's harder to resist temptation
Resisting temptation becomes harder, facing challenges
No further way to educate
No clear path for education or enlightenment
Our words are floating in translation now
Communication is unclear or misunderstood
