Time Bomb
Echoes of Silent Destruction
Lyrics
Well I,
Expressing personal identity and existence
I am a time bomb and I,
Describing oneself as a metaphorical time bomb
I lay forgotten at the bottom of your heart
Feeling neglected or overlooked in the depths of someone's emotions
I'm fine
Claiming well-being despite the inner turmoil
Ticking away the hours to blow your world apart
Counting down to a moment that will disrupt the person's world
I,
Reiteration of being a poison with a lasting impact
I am a poison and I,
Continuing presence in the person's bloodstream as an unseen force
I am still coursing through your bloodstream like a ghost,
Comparing oneself to wine, maturing for a moment of maximum impact
Like wine
Acknowledging the accumulation of negative potential
Gathering vintage for the day I hurt the most, I,
Being a metaphorical landmine, a dormant threat in the person's life
I am a landmine and I,
Depicting battles and scars, suggesting previous conflicts
I lay on the soil burned out by battles you thought you'd won,
Emphasizing the patience to wait for the right moment
I've got time
Expressing readiness for the impact of memories
To wait for the footsteps of a memory that's on the run
A positive exclamation, possibly indicating determination
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Empty line, possibly indicating a pause or reflection
Well I,
Describing swelling emotions and vulnerability
I am a tarpit and I,
Using dark imagery to convey an engulfing, inescapable feeling
I swell like a living thing all at the slightest touch
Metaphorically describing oneself as a trip wire
A black grime,
Stretching across a path, symbolizing potential danger
Swallowing everything a cold and timeless clutch, I,
Describing a thin, invisible line waiting to be activated
Well I am a trip wire, and I,
Comparing oneself to a fault line, causing disruption and separation
I'm stretching across the road you're barreling down tonight
Describing the act of pulling apart the ground symbolically
A thinish twine,
Emphasizing slow and deliberate movement
Waiting to be released right beyond your sight, I,
Expressing uncertainty or lack of knowledge
Well I am a fault line and I,
Reiteration of being a time bomb with a specific focus on death
I'm pulling apart the ground that lay beyond your newest seed so fine,
Highlighting the irreversible consequences on future generations
I'm moving in inches now a cry, a cutting, a bleating
Describing a slow, painful process of destruction
Well I don't know
Expressing confusion or lack of understanding
Well I, I am a time bomb and I,
Reiteration of being a lost soul, emitting a distressed signal
I only live in that one moment in which you die
Limiting existence to a single moment of someone's death
It's not right
Expressing dissatisfaction with the situation
It's not what I wanted then
Acknowledging the divergence from desired outcomes
But you know and I know there's no going back
Accepting the irreversible nature of certain actions
I, I am a lost soul and I, I send out a sickened light for anyone to see
Describing oneself as a lost soul emitting a troubled signal
A cry for help
Expressing a cry for help and a desire to be seen
Yeah,
An exclamation of distress or urgency
A warning to stay away the burning, the blinding, the reaching in darkness
Warning others to stay away from the intense, blinding darkness
Why
Expressing confusion or questioning the situation
Yeah
Reiteration of a distressed and questioning state
