Lyrics
Looking in this abandoned place
Searching for something meaningful in an abandoned place.
Searching in someone else's face
Seeking answers or fulfillment in the expressions of others.
Don't know what it is but I I'll know when I find it
Uncertain about what is sought but confident it will be recognized upon discovery.
As I inhale this paradise
Taking in a moment of bliss or perfection.
Five minutes of escape
Short-lived escape, possibly from reality, lasting five minutes.
Don't know what it does but I'll know when it does it
Unsure of the effect, but confident it will be understood when experienced.
Every one of us is looking
Everyone is on a quest for something.
In a place where peace won't find us there
Seeking peace in a location that seems elusive.
Every one of us is wanting
Desiring something extraordinary situated between life and death.
Something amazing that's in between
Expressing the longing for something amazing in the midst of existence.
The living and the dying
Referring to the space between life and death, emphasizing the transient nature of existence.
All we have is now
Emphasizing the importance of living in the present moment.
Give us some meaning while we live
Requesting meaning to be assigned to life while alive.
Some purpose to die
Seeking purpose even in the face of mortality.
All we have is now
Reiterating the significance of the present moment.
Give us some meaning while we live
Repeating the desire for meaning during the span of life.
Some purpose to die
Reiterating the search for purpose even in the face of death.
All we have is now
Underlining the importance of living in the current moment.
Maybe in someone else's arms
Speculating on finding completion or solace in another person's embrace.
She could complete this broken form
Expressing the idea that someone else could mend a broken individual.
Don't know what she'll do but I'll know when she does it
Uncertain about the actions of the person but confident in recognizing it when it happens.
Or I will lift up this desperate prayer
Possibly offering a prayer in desperation, seeking something more than emptiness.
If it could find more than open air
Hoping for the prayer to have an impact beyond being just words in the air.
Don't know what He'll do but I'll know when He does it
Uncertain about the outcome of the prayer but confident in recognizing it when it occurs.
