Like Leaves
Unraveling Human Tragedy
Lyrics
There've been times when I have doubt reality
Expressing moments of doubt in perceiving reality.
Whatever happened to our purity?
Questioning the loss of innocence or purity over time.
Pictures of this world inside my head
Mental images of the world stored in the mind.
All those broken tears that have been shed
Acknowledging past sorrows and tears.
Fear is spreading like a plague within us all
Describing fear as a pervasive and contagious force.
Everybody's waiting for the man to fall
Anticipating a downfall while others wait for it.
But could this be another strange disease
Suggesting the possibility of a metaphorical disease or illusion.
Conceived illusions?
Questioning the origin of conceived illusions.
On and on and on it goes
Emphasizing the continuous nature of uncertain situations.
Still we don't know
Despite the ongoing uncertainty, the destination remains unknown.
Where to go to
The search for direction or purpose continues.
Scattered in my heart
Feelings or emotions scattered within the speaker's heart.
Words they fall apart
Words losing coherence, falling apart.
Like feelings without trust
Comparing emotions without trust to disintegrated feelings.
Like leaves that turns to dust
Metaphorically describing emotions fading away like leaves turning to dust.
To seek the everlasting remedy
Expressing a desire to find a lasting solution or cure.
Seems to be the human tragedy
Characterizing the struggle of humanity as a tragic condition.
To forget the reasons that he told
Warning against forgetting the essential reasons previously communicated.
Instead of trying hard not to withhold
Advocating for openness instead of withholding.
Trapped inside a world of broken glass
Feeling confined within a fragile and dangerous environment.
It's getting harder every day to pass
Expressing the increasing difficulty of navigating challenges.
Soon we will be gone and he will say
Anticipating a future acknowledgment of attempts to prevent negative outcomes.
"I tried to stop them"
An imagined statement of regret for being unable to prevent a negative outcome.
On and on and on it goes
Reiteration of the ongoing uncertainty in the face of challenges.
Still we don't know
Continued ambiguity about the future and destination.
Where to go to
The persistent quest for direction or purpose.
Scattered in my heart
Reiteration of emotions scattered within the speaker's heart.
Words they fall apart
Emphasizing the breakdown of communication, with words falling apart.
Like feelings without trust
Drawing a parallel between emotions without trust and disintegrated feelings.
Like leaves that turns to dust
Repeating the metaphor of emotions fading away like leaves turning to dust.
