Lyrics
See I have no place to go
Expressing a sense of aimlessness or lack of direction.
Broken head has made me whole
Suggesting that healing has come from a previously damaged state.
Yellow stone below me, yellow stone above
Describing a precarious situation with danger above and below.
Dying in the middle when pushing comes to shove
Feeling overwhelmed and struggling in the midst of challenges.
Biting on the backbone with an angel on the tongue
Metaphorically describing internal conflict with both negative and positive influences.
Waiting on a vision
Anticipating a revelation or insight.
Waiting on a vision with seventeen seconds until I go down to my grave
Counting down to an imminent and possibly metaphorical demise.
You can't ask a question, you have no voice
Emphasizing powerlessness, unable to ask questions or assert oneself.
Want to go on living
Expressing a desire to continue living despite challenges.
But you have no choice
Acknowledging a lack of control or agency in the given situation.
Broken and cut with a second to think,
Describing being injured and given a brief moment to contemplate.
"It's all a lie" It's all a lie
Stating a realization that something is false or deceptive.
The moment you cut was a lie
Highlighting the deceptive nature of a crucial moment.
See you and I don't see eye to eye,
Acknowledging a significant disagreement or conflict.
But I will skip the pleasantries and bring you down upon your knees
Choosing direct confrontation over pleasantries or avoidance.
And keep you there below me
Asserting dominance and keeping someone beneath oneself.
With an eye on the sun above
Observing the surroundings, possibly indicating a heightened awareness.
Filling up the middle pushing comes to shove
Reiterating the struggle in the midst of conflicting forces.
Biting on a backbone with an angel on the tongue
Repeating the metaphor of internal conflict with an added emphasis on waiting for insight.
Waiting on a vision
Reiterating the anticipation of a revelation or insight.
Waiting on a vision with seventeen seconds until I do down to my grave
Repeating the countdown to an impending event, possibly symbolic of a significant change.
They prop you up drunken, those clean little boys
Describing the support of individuals who may not have the best intentions.
The one they defend is the one they destroy
Highlighting the paradox of defending and destroying the same thing.
Break you and cut you and leave you to think,
Continuing the theme of being broken and left to contemplate.
"It's all a lie" It's all a lie
Reiterating the realization that something is deceptive or false.
The thing that you need is a lie
Emphasizing that the perceived necessity is itself deceptive.
I will not wish this away I will not wish for another day
Rejecting the idea of wishing away a difficult situation and accepting the current reality.
Waiting and questioning
Expressing a state of anticipation and inquiry.
Waiting and questioning
Continuing the theme of waiting and questioning.
Waiting and questioning...
Reiterating the state of waiting and questioning as a persistent condition.
