In The Dark
Navigating Life's Shadows: Eel Sallad's 'In The Dark' Reflections
Lyrics
Nobody cares is a hard pill to swallow
"Nobody cares" is a bitter truth that is difficult to accept.
But the older we get the more we'll know
As we age, we gain more wisdom and understanding about the lack of concern from others.
This northwest air grows stale as we're falling down
The air in the northwest becomes stagnant as life takes a downturn.
The rocky ledge life dare not grow
Life on the dangerous edge doesn't allow for growth.
So don't swim just let the rivers take you
Rather than resisting, one should go with the flow and let circumstances guide them.
Down their path of least resistance
Following the path of least resistance leads to an easier journey.
And when we wash ashore no one is there there to find you
After facing challenges, there is no one around to notice or help.
No one was looking in the first place
No one paid attention or cared from the beginning.
So here we are just bones and scars
In the present, we exist as mere remnants of our experiences, with bones and scars.
Never got the chance to make our mark
We missed the opportunity to leave a lasting impact or legacy.
And here we are just observing stars
We find ourselves contemplating life by observing stars, struggling to find meaning in the darkness.
Trying to make sense but still lost in the dark
Despite efforts to understand, we remain lost and confused in the obscurity of life.
And here we are nothing but a shadow of our
We are now a diminished version of our former selves, claiming to have forgotten our past.
Former self that we swear we forgot
We acknowledge our past self but feel detached from it.
And here we are wasting our time stuck on rewind
Caught in a cycle of repeating mistakes, wasting time by reliving the past.
Cause we don't know much better
Due to a lack of understanding, we continue making the same errors without improvement.
We're just birds of a feather
We are similar in our mistakes, like birds of a feather.
All fucking together till we die
A raw expression of shared experiences, continuing together until death.
But that's alright
Acceptance of the shared fate and finding solace in it.
