Ardour
Ardour: Resilience in the Face of Desolation
Lyrics
They said we’d ended, that we’re just lingering.
Despite the belief that our relationship has ended, we persist in existence.
They cut our throats to watch us bleed out, they’re bathing.
They metaphorically harmed us deeply, relishing in our suffering.
Without doubting that we’re already dead, I’m not tempted to give a fuck.
Accepting the notion that we're already emotionally dead, I'm not inclined to care.
And I wondered is this through?
Contemplating if this is truly the end of our connection.
Maybe I could find a sense of peace.
Considering the possibility of finding inner calm or resolution.
Maybe I could drown this out.
Seeking a way to drown out the emotional turmoil.
Maybe I could find a sense of peace.
Reiterating the desire to find peace within oneself.
But I don’t want to know.
Expressing a reluctance to learn the truth or face reality.
They said our relevance was already dead, but now exhumed and the heart is still beating.
Contradicting the claim that our importance has ceased; it has been revived, and our emotions persist.
Without doubting that we’re already done, I just don’t want to give this time.
Despite acknowledging that it might be over, resisting the urge to invest more time in the situation.
I wonder do you still care?
Questioning if the other person still has concern or affection.
But I’ll tell you that I’m already done with your hating and your contempt.
Stating that the speaker is done with the negativity and animosity from the other party.
I won’t fall until you lay bare
Refusing to succumb until the other person exposes their true feelings.
Maybe I could find a sense of peace.
Revisiting the hope of finding inner peace.
Maybe I could drown this out.
Exploring the idea of drowning out the emotional pain.
Maybe I could find a sense of peace.
Repeating the desire to find inner peace despite difficulties.
As every word takes it out of me.
Expressing the toll that each spoken word takes on the speaker.
Are we fading?
Pondering whether the connection is fading away.
It doesn’t matter to me.
Indicating that the speaker is indifferent to the fading of the relationship.
I will stand tall until the end.
Committing to standing strong and resolute until the very end.
Down not out.
Remaining resilient despite setbacks.
