Lyrics
Been a week or two since the call came through
Reflecting on a call received in the past couple of weeks.
So I thought about us and the things we do
Contemplating the relationship and shared experiences.
Those times when it's hard to face anyone
Acknowledging difficult times when facing others becomes a challenge.
It's no fun when you're forced to declare
Expressing the difficulty of being compelled to declare something.
That the years drag you down, strip you bare
Conveying the impact of passing years that wear down and expose vulnerabilities.
Call a doctor, chiropractor
Suggesting the need for professional help, referencing a doctor and chiropractor.
Troubled waters run deep
Highlighting that troubles are profound and complex.
Call a doctor, call a lawyer
Expanding the call for assistance to include a lawyer.
Note to self don't forget to breathe
Reminding oneself to breathe amidst challenges.
It's hard not to die when you're demonised
Expressing the difficulty of surviving when one is vilified or dehumanized.
I blew hot, I blew cold, I felt bought and sold
Describing emotional fluctuations, feeling bought and sold.
Something trapped inside cannot be denied
Emphasizing the undeniable nature of something trapped within.
It's ok to be wrong from now on
Acceptance of being wrong and embracing it as part of growth.
I walk to the light, not just any light
Choosing a specific path towards enlightenment.
But the one with a hue, shades of red and blue
Describing a meaningful light with symbolic hues.
I'm stopped in my tracks, I'm cut down to size
Feeling halted and humbled, recognizing one's limitations.
Now's the time to renew my desires
Deciding to revive personal desires.
And perhaps to review my misfires
Considering and learning from past mistakes.
I have taken many departures
Admitting to multiple departures in life.
I know the heartbreaking last hours
Acknowledging painful and significant moments in the past.
Consecrated in burnt offerings
Referring to experiences marked by sacrifice and dedication.
Laid to rest in the fire
Highlighting a symbolic resting place in the fire.
How many years to get you started
Pondering the time it takes to initiate change.
How many more til you believe
Questioning the duration until belief is established.
Lost in translation, dearly departed
Expressing loss and separation with difficulty in communication.
I'm a traitor, great defector, absent without relief
Admitting to being a traitor and defector, absent without relief.
Great pretender, late contender, promises I can't keep
Describing oneself as a pretender and late contender, unable to keep promises.
