We Can't Change the Channel
Echoes of Burden: A Melancholic Tale of Time's Weight
Lyrics
She used to turn silver black
Her appearance has changed from silver to black.
Like iron red and copper green
Her complexion transformed from iron red to copper green.
But with buried limbs the hours are heavy
With hidden struggles, time feels burdensome.
So heavy that she can barely breathe
The weight is so intense that she struggles to breathe.
Time, time will say I told you so
Time will eventually prove predictions or warnings.
Sweating walls, a weeping sea
Intense emotional experiences, depicted by sweating walls and a weeping sea.
We can't change the channel
A metaphor suggesting a lack of control or escape from the current situation.
They smother her young
External forces suppressing or harming the younger generation.
While she's on her knees
While facing challenges, she is in a vulnerable position.
She's on her knees
Repeated line emphasizing her vulnerable state on her knees.
She used to turn silver black
Repetition of a previous transformation in her appearance.
Like iron red and copper green
Continuation of the description of her changing appearance.
But with buried limbs the hours are heavy
Reiteration of the heavy burden carried through hidden struggles.
Oh so heavy that she can barely breathe
Emphasizes the intensity of the burden, making it difficult to breathe.
Time, time will say I told you so
Reiteration of the idea that time will reveal the truth or consequences.
Sweating walls, a weeping sea
Continuation of intense emotional imagery, portraying a challenging environment.
We can't change the channel
Restating the inability to change or escape from the current situation.
They smother her young
External forces causing harm to the younger generation persist.
Now she's on her knees
Reiteration of her vulnerable position, now explicitly on her knees.
She's on her knees
Repeated line emphasizing her continued vulnerable state.
