Masonic Melancholy: A Tale of Redemption and Heartache
Lyrics
Nothing was wrong
Expressing that everything seemed fine initially.
And the future looked better than it ever looked before
Feeling optimistic about the future, better than ever before.
So I thought
Personal reflection on the positive state of affairs.
The trouble was gone
Believing that any problems or troubles had disappeared.
It felt as if a bond had been restored
Experiencing a sense of restored connection or unity.
It's over, he plead the fifth too long
Expressing that a situation is over, using a legal term ("plead the fifth").
Deserving to walk the plank and fall
Suggesting punishment for someone who deserves consequences.
No longer blind, the light hurts his eyes
A realization that the truth, represented by light, is discomforting.
In hope that time, will help anaesthetize
Hoping that time will numb the pain.
Annul the hurt, the shame, that's eating him alive
Describing deep emotional pain and shame.
He's praying more than friendship will survive
Praying for the survival of a significant relationship.
OK so far I'm not impressed
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.
When does it get good
Questioning when the situation will improve.
And how much time is left
Asking about the remaining time for resolution.
No way, she can't end up with him
Expressing doubt about a particular romantic outcome.
Did the hero die, don't he good guys win
Pondering the fate of a heroic character, questioning justice.
Don't the good guys win, don't they win
Rhetorical question about whether good people ultimately succeed.
Don't they win in the end?
Persisting in the query, emphasizing the end result.
No longer bound, it's freedom he defies
No longer constrained, resisting conventional expectations or limits.
In shock cause I've been hit between the eyes
Expressing surprise or shock at a sudden realization.
I guess it's fair
Acknowledging the fairness of a consequence.
I made the bed where I will lie
Taking responsibility for the consequences of one's actions.
There's got to be some way now
Expressing a desire for a solution or resolution.
I'm sure he'll find some way now
Confidently anticipating a resolution to the current pain.
The pain of losing you should fade in time
Expectation that the pain of losing someone will diminish over time.
