Sea of Dirt
Drowning in the Abyss: Frost Koffin's Poetic Descent
Lyrics
The waters wash away
The cleansing effect of water is acknowledged.
Only bones will remain
Emphasis on the impermanence of life, leaving only bones behind.
My fist grips only sand
A metaphor for grasping at something intangible or fleeting.
And time has sped its ticking hand
Time is passing quickly, perhaps indicating a sense of urgency or regret.
This weight is heavy crushing on my chest
A burden or emotional weight is overwhelming, affecting the chest.
A few more grains of life that’s all that’s left
Life is dwindling, and only a small amount remains.
I watch my life slip by
Observation of one's life slipping away.
But the sand survives
The metaphorical survival of time represented by sand.
So many days pass by
The passage of time, perhaps with a sense of regret or loss.
Suffer while living a lie
Enduring suffering while living a falsehood or deception.
I watch my life slip by
Reiteration of observing one's life slipping away.
But the sand survives
Continuation of the metaphorical survival of time through sand.
Drowning in a sea of dirt
Feeling overwhelmed and suffocated by negativity or challenges.
It’s filling up my lungs
The challenges or difficulties are becoming physically and emotionally consuming.
Ankle deep in the neck
Being deeply immersed in a challenging situation.
You better kiss the top of the glass
An urging to cherish or appreciate the present moment.
The more you pull
The more one struggles, the deeper they sink into difficulties.
The more you sink
A recognition that certain moments cannot be retained.
Moments that you cannot keep
Reflection on the ephemeral nature of precious moments.
Can’t help but wonder why I waste my time
Questioning the value of spending time on certain pursuits.
I know I’ll never find my peace of mind
An acknowledgment of the difficulty in finding inner peace.
I watch my life slip by
Reiteration of observing one's life slipping away.
But the sand survives
Continuation of the metaphorical survival of time through sand.
So many days pass by
Emphasis on the passage of days, possibly with a sense of loss.
Suffer while living a lie
Enduring suffering while living a falsehood or deception.
I watch my life slip by
Reiteration of observing one's life slipping away.
But the sand survives
Continuation of the metaphorical survival of time through sand.
Drowning in a sea of dirt
Reiterating the feeling of being overwhelmed by negativity or challenges.
It’s filling up my lungs
The challenges or difficulties are intensifying, affecting the individual deeply.
