A World So Kind
A World Unraveled: Abandonment and Burning Bridges
Lyrics
You run away
You are fleeing or avoiding something
The words to say the things
Struggling to express your thoughts verbally
That are on your mind
Expressing thoughts that are on your mind
They're far behind
Those thoughts are left behind, possibly ignored or overlooked
And now you're left with nothing
After the departure, there is a sense of emptiness
And now you're left with nothing
Repetition emphasizes the feeling of being left with nothing
I forgot to lock the door again
Forgot to secure the entrance, possibly a metaphor for vulnerability
I guess I'd hoped I'd find you sneaking in
Hoping to catch someone entering, indicating anticipation or longing
I think I'll burn the house to the ground again
Contemplating destructive actions, a metaphorical burning of bridges
I'm never coming home
Decision to stay away permanently
Now you're
Transition to the consequences of the departure
Left with nothing
Reiteration of the emptiness left behind
These sweet facsimiles
Imitations or copies that were never satisfactory
Were never fit to please
Failed attempts at pleasing or satisfying
The years are adding up
The passage of time and accumulation of experiences
I climbed my way to the top of the mountain
Striving for success but reaching an empty or unfulfilling outcome
Only to find that there was nothing to see there
Realization that the achieved success is devoid of meaning
Only to find that there was nothing to see there
Repetition emphasizes the disappointment of the achieved success
I forgot to lock the door again
Reiteration of the vulnerability, forgetting to secure the entrance
I guess I'd hoped I'd find you sneaking in
Repeating the anticipation or longing for someone's return
I think I'll burn the house to the ground again
Reiteration of destructive thoughts, burning metaphorically
I'm never coming home
Confirmation of the decision to stay away permanently
