Lyrics

The old returns while the new can bore

The past reoccurs, and the present may become tedious.

Cause you're the one who fell

You are the one who experienced a downfall.

Into a self-created hell

Fallen into a self-imposed state of suffering.

We've worn it out

We have exhausted it, possibly referring to a situation or relationship.


It took time to realize

Realization takes time.

It's a chore to recognize

Recognizing certain aspects becomes a burdensome task.

What your world could take; it's overgrown

The potential of your world has expanded beyond manageable limits.

Take it all away now

Suggesting a desire to start anew by removing everything.

Real soon we'll take this all the way down

Planning to bring everything down very soon.


The old returns while the new can bore

A repetition, emphasizing the return of the old and the potential monotony of the new.

Cause you're the one who fell

You are the one who has experienced a downfall (repeated).

Into a self-created hell

Fallen into a self-imposed state of suffering (repeated).

There is no way out

No escape from the situation.

When you build a stubborn shell

When you construct a resistant barrier.

That shields from any help

A shell that prevents accepting any assistance.

We've worn it out

We have exhausted it, possibly referring to a situation or relationship (repeated).


You tried to maximize

An attempt to maximize something, but with little surprise in the outcome.

But it came as no surprise

It was expected or foreseeable.

You hurled a stake into your own dome

You've self-destructively sabotaged your own potential.

Take it all away now

Suggesting the removal of everything again.

Real soon we'll take this all the way down

Planning to bring everything down very soon (repeated).


Please, don't, go, stay

An appeal for someone not to leave, possibly seeking support.


The old returns while the new can bore

A repetition, emphasizing the return of the old and the potential monotony of the new.

Cause you're the one who fell

You are the one who has experienced a downfall (repeated).

Into a self-created hell

Fallen into a self-imposed state of suffering (repeated).

There is no way out

No escape from the situation (repeated).

When you build a stubborn shell

When you construct a resistant barrier (repeated).

That shields from any help

A shell that prevents accepting any assistance (repeated).


(She was beautiful, bring her back!)

A plea to bring back someone beautiful, possibly a lost connection.


The old returns while the new can bore

A repetition, emphasizing the return of the old and the potential monotony of the new.

You're the one who fell

You are the one who has experienced a downfall (repeated).

To a self-created hell

Fallen into a self-imposed state of suffering (repeated).


Take it all away now

Suggesting a desire to start anew by removing everything (repeated).

There is no way out

No escape from the situation (repeated).

There is no way out

No way out from the self-imposed suffering (repeated).

When you build a stubborn shell

When you construct a resistant barrier (repeated).

That shields from any help

A shell that prevents accepting any assistance (repeated).


We've worn it out

We have exhausted it, possibly referring to a situation or relationship (repeated).

We've worn it out
