Ballad at World's End
Chasing Happiness: Unraveling Time in Ballad at World's End
Lyrics
So it goes
Expressing acceptance or resignation towards a situation.
I couldn't find you
Unable to locate someone.
I can't unwind you
Feeling unable to relax or detach from a person or situation.
I want to know
Expressing a desire for understanding or information.
Wasn't the time true
Questioning the authenticity or truthfulness of a past moment.
I didn't try to
Not making an effort to find someone.
Find you
Reiterating the difficulty in locating the person.
I can see that every time
Observing a pattern of choosing incompatible partners.
I choose someone
Reflecting on the inadequacy of selected individuals.
They're not the right one
Feeling a sense of dissatisfaction after having fun.
And I feel that every time I have fun
Completion of a cycle of seeking satisfaction without success.
Satisfaction's course has run
Acknowledging the passage of time impacting fulfillment.
And I see through this world
Seeing through the falsehoods of the world.
This world and all it's lies
Expressing a realization of deception in the world.
I feel like I've finally come to
Feeling like the true nature of a situation is finally understood.
My biggest enemy is time
Identifying time as a significant adversary.
So it goes i never found true happiness
Reflecting on the inability to find true happiness.
Around you
Linking the lack of happiness to a specific person.
And in my bones I knew about you
Being aware of someone's existence deep within.
Thought I'd never doubt you
Initial trust or faith in someone.
Now the horizon's crumbling
Describing the disintegration of future prospects.
in front of us
Signifying a point of no return or irreversible action.
It seems the deed's done
Completion of an irreversible act.
Whenever I've done something
Reflecting on mistakes made.
In the wrong
Acknowledging wrongdoing.
I realize it's what I want
Realizing one's true desires.
And I lived until the end of the world
Surviving until the end of a challenging period.
This wild world with not enough time
Describing a tumultuous world with limited time.
And I've seen things come to unfurl
Observing the unfolding of events in the world.
this wild world was never mine
Acknowledging a lack of possession or control over the world.
Everywhere everything is falling apart now
Noting widespread chaos and decay.
Maturity is realizing doom from the start
Understanding the inevitability of negative outcomes.
And everything's aligning
Observing alignment of circumstances for a global end.
for the end of the world now
Acknowledging the approach of the end of the world.
I'll try to spend the final moments
Expressing an intention to cherish final moments in a familiar place.
here in my hometown
Desire to spend the end in one's hometown.
