Wither
Fleeting Existence: A Reflection on Loss and Decay
Lyrics
Could've been informed
Expressing a missed opportunity for being informed
Instead I'm reaching for my own reasons
Choosing to pursue personal motivations instead
Still waiting for an answer
A sense of anticipation for a meaningful response
At least one worth keeping
Desiring at least one answer that is worth preserving
Watch you slip away
Observing someone gradually departing
Watch you slip away
-It eats away
Highlighting the emotional impact of separation
You slip away
Reiterating the theme of someone slipping away
Watch you slither
Using imagery of slithering, possibly suggesting deception
I see you slip away
Witnessing the gradual departure again
Just like before
Noticing a recurrence of a past experience
Has it paid off for you
Raising a question about the success of someone's actions
And is there something more
Pondering the existence of something beyond the apparent
You will fade to nothing
Emphasizing the inevitable fading away of someone
You will fade to nothing
-Slip away
Reiteration of the theme of slipping away
A secret source
Reference to a mysterious and undisclosed origin
Nameless
Emphasizing anonymity
Waiting for conviction
Waiting for a strong belief or conviction
The trail is warm
Indicating a promising lead but with inherent contradictions
But always leads to contradiction
Reiterating the theme of someone slipping away
Watch you slip away
Repeating the observation of gradual departure
Watch you slip away
-It eats away
Re-emphasizing the emotional toll of separation
You slip away
Reiteration of someone slipping away
Watch you wither
Introducing the concept of withering, implying decline
I see you slip away
Observing the gradual departure with a sense of inevitability
Just like before
Recalling a previous occurrence of a similar nature
Has it paid off for you
Questioning the success or benefit of past actions
And is there something more
Exploring the possibility of something beyond the obvious
You will fade to nothing
Stressing the inescapable fading away of someone
You will fade to nothing
-Slip away
Reiteration of the theme of slipping away
Watch you wither
Repeating the idea of withering, suggesting a gradual decline
I see you slip away
Observing the departure with a sense of inevitability
Just like before
Noting the recurrence of a similar situation from the past
Has it paid off for you
Questioning the value or success of previous efforts
And is there something more
Exploring the existence of something beyond surface appearances
You will fade to nothing
Emphasizing the inevitable fading away of someone
You will fade to nothing
-Slip away
Reiteration of the theme of slipping away
Watch you slip away
Repeating the observation of gradual departure
Watch you slip away
-Watch you wither
Observing the withering process, possibly indicating an irreversible decline
