A Living Will
Embracing Solitude: A Journey of Acceptance in 'A Living Will'
Lyrics
Time to kill, wrote a living will
Expressing the desire to end one's life, creating a legal document detailing wishes in a living will.
And gave it to the man in the moon
Symbolically handing the living will to the man in the moon, suggesting a surreal or unreachable recipient.
But I'm gonna get well soon
Optimistic about recovering soon despite the struggles.
This happy face is watching me die
Acknowledging a facade of happiness while facing the reality of imminent death.
Elevate me to another world
Seeking elevation or escape to another realm or mental state.
All that I can do on my own
Recognizing personal limitations and the difficulty of self-sufficiency.
Is leave well enough alone
Choosing not to interfere with existing conditions or circumstances.
Leave well enough alone
Reinforcing the idea of maintaining the status quo, not making unnecessary changes.
Leave well enough alone
-Circumstance dropped by
Unexpected events or situations imposing themselves and requiring attention.
Uninvited and demand to be fed
Undesired circumstances demanding care or resolution.
But I've already gone to bed
Choosing to ignore or avoid dealing with the demands, retreating to bed.
There's nothing you can see from inside
Emphasizing the internal nature of personal struggles, suggesting they are not visible to others.
But a spirit arose and put on my clothes
A metaphorical transformation where a spirit takes control, disconnecting from the external world.
And helped me, disconnecting the phone
Receiving assistance in avoiding external pressures, possibly from within oneself.
To leave well enough alone
Reiterating the theme of maintaining the current state and not succumbing to external pressures.
Leave well enough alone
-Leave well enough alone
-Time was I was a wild animal in a cage
Reflecting on a past period of confinement or restraint, feeling like a caged wild animal.
First it's all a reaction
Describing initial reactions to circumstances before they become a public display.
Now it's all a parade
Transforming from personal reactions to a more public and performative response.
I'm waking up at a station stop
Awakening to reality, facing the intrusion of real-world challenges.
And reality's invading my brain
Feeling the encroachment of the harsh reality on one's mental space.
The cops wanna search the train
Authorities wanting to inspect and control thoughts or actions.
They'll take away whatever they find
The potential confiscation of personal thoughts or possessions by external forces.
But I don't have the thoughts you want
Claiming not to possess the expected or undesirable thoughts.
Just a memory of love I was shown
Having a memory of love, possibly a positive force amidst challenges.
A vision that turns to stone
A vision or idea solidifying into an unchangeable state.
Leave well enough alone
Final repetition of the theme, emphasizing leaving things as they are.
Leave well enough alone
