Embracing Change: Drew South's 'Four' Unveils the Dance of Life
Lyrics
Alone
Feeling isolated or solitary
The unknown cries hide what for
Unfamiliar sorrows conceal their purpose
There is no saving reasoning
There is no logical or reasonable way to rescue or explain
I can't keep this going for too long
Unable to sustain this situation for an extended period
No one can
No one is capable of doing so
How am I different
Questioning personal uniqueness or distinctiveness
Four was yesterday
Reflecting on the past, specifically the fourth day
And you know that years kill more to say
Acknowledging that the passage of time intensifies emotional weight
I'm distancing away from time itself
Creating emotional distance from the concept of time itself
Life
Referring to existence
It's running 'round my head
Life is constantly occupying thoughts
Just like butterflies
Comparing the thoughts to the fluttering of butterflies
Just like butterflies and
Repetition of the butterfly metaphor
Life
Emphasizing the impact of life
It's breaking skin again
Life is causing emotional pain
Just like butterflies
Continuation of the butterfly metaphor in a painful context
Just right when you die
Suggesting a parallel between life and the moment of death
We know how to
We understand how to endure the worst aspects of what we love
Take the worst of what we love
Choosing the negative aspects of what is cherished
Heaven could believe
Heaven might acknowledge if it's something valuable
If it's anything worth taking
Expressing a willingness to halt time in a particular moment
I would stop time here
Deciding to sever connections at this point
Cut ties here
Reiteration of reflection on the fourth day
Four was yesterday
Revisiting the impact of time on emotions
And you know that years kill more to say
Re-emphasizing the weight of years on expression
I'm distancing away from time
Increasing emotional distance from the concept of time
For in this life
Acknowledging the influence of time in life
It runs around my head
Reiteration of life's constant presence in thoughts
Just like the butterflies
Butterfly metaphor symbolizing persistent thoughts
Just like a stubborn knife
Comparing thoughts to a stubborn, enduring knife
Lie
Reference to deception or falsehood
Because the sounds still deaden
The impact of certain sounds remains muted
Just like the butterflies
Reiteration of the butterfly metaphor in a muted context
Just like a stubborn knife
Comparing thoughts to a persistent, muted knife
Life
Life persistently occupies thoughts
It runs around my head
Butterfly metaphor representing persistent thoughts
Just like the butterflies
Comparing thoughts to a persistent, enduring knife
Just like a stubborn knife
Reiteration of the impact of life on persistent thoughts
Lie
Reference to deception or falsehood, echoing line 31
Because the sounds still deaden
The impact of certain sounds continues to be muted
Just like the butterflies
Reiteration of the butterfly metaphor in a muted context
Just like the butterflies
Concluding with the persistence of thoughts symbolized by butterflies
