Lyrics
Oh, how the pendulum swings
Reflects on the cyclic nature of life's swings, likening it to a pendulum.
The cause and effect of the words we all scream
Highlights the consequences of spoken words and their impact.
An eye for an eye leaves all the world blind
Quoting a famous idea, emphasizing the destructiveness of seeking revenge.
Have we all lost our minds?
Rhetorical question questioning the collective sanity of humanity.
Can we fill this void between us?
Poses the query about bridging the emotional gap between individuals.
It's all our fault lines are blurred in this selfish divide
Addresses the blurred boundaries caused by selfishness in society.
Crushed by the weight of debris
Feeling overwhelmed by the weight of emotional burdens.
A leveling force that brings no relief
Refers to forces that do not alleviate the pressure or distress.
Just from a moment, disaster unfolds
Highlighting how disaster can quickly emerge from a fleeting moment.
It swallows us whole
Metaphorical imagery depicting how catastrophic events can consume us entirely.
Can we fill this void between us?
Reiteration of the desire to bridge emotional gaps between people.
It's all our fault lines are blurred in this selfish divide
Reiterates how selfishness blurs lines that could connect us emotionally.
This back and forth keeps tension on us
Describes the ongoing tension caused by a continuous cycle of retaliation.
We're all about getting even
Admitting a societal inclination towards seeking revenge.
It's an empty assurance
Portrays revenge as an ultimately hollow or unfulfilling pursuit.
They say vengeance is sweet
Referencing a popular saying, emphasizing the pleasure of revenge.
But the remnants are bitter
Describing the lingering bitterness after seeking vengeance.
In this vindictive disease
Characterizing revenge as a contagious and harmful societal affliction.
If we level each other
Pondering the consequences if individuals continue to harm one another.
If we choose to divorce
Considering separation or division as a potential solution.
Would we take up the mantle
Questioning whether, after separation, individuals would rebuild or reconcile.
To rebuild and restore?
Reflecting on the responsibility to reconstruct and heal post-separation.
Can we fill this void between us?
Reiterating the desire to bridge emotional divides between people.
It's all our fault lines are blurred in this selfish divide
Stressing the role of selfishness in blurring emotional connections.
This back and forth keeps tension on us
Re-emphasizing the ongoing tension due to a cycle of retaliation.
It's not about getting even
Rejecting the idea of seeking revenge as a solution to conflicts.
