Lyrics
Looked at me with a dead eyed stare,
Someone is looking at the speaker with a lifeless, vacant expression.
No time to spare a second for a silent prayer,
No time to spare for a moment of quiet reflection or prayer.
Face is blue, you won't come to,
The person's face is turning blue, and they seem unresponsive.
Can't even imagine a life without you,
The speaker cannot fathom living without this person.
No, you wanna take him but he can't leave,
There's a desire to take someone away, but they cannot leave.
Face to face, with the devil, it can't be,
Confrontation with a challenging or evil force, possibly metaphorical.
Numb from the tip of my tongue to my feet,
The speaker feels emotionally numb from head to toe.
Only the sound of my chattering teeth,
The only sound is the speaker's teeth chattering, suggesting fear or anxiety.
Keep your head up,
An encouragement to stay positive despite difficulties.
I need to know you're alive,
The speaker needs assurance that the person is still alive.
Come on get up,
An urging to stand up and continue living.
Breathe life survive,
A call to breathe, embrace life, and survive.
Lost sleep that night,
The speaker experienced insomnia, dwelling on a conversation.
Thinking of what you said to me,
Recalling a conversation with someone.
I asked him, what did you see (what did you see?)
Asking the person about what they witnessed.
He said, Nothing,
The person saw nothing, indicating emptiness or lack of meaning.
Absent of all things real to me
Feeling disconnected from reality, devoid of meaningful experiences.
Lonely, (so lonely), darkness consuming,
Expressing intense loneliness and the engulfing nature of darkness.
With a failing heart, (with a failing heart), my life crashed before me
With a failing heart, life seems to crumble before the speaker.
I saw no light,
There is no hope or positive outlook, only darkness.
Became a memory,
The speaker becomes a memory, possibly implying death.
So that's it, over in an instant
Life ends abruptly, raising questions about its nature.
In the end, is it really just,dark and distant?
Contemplating whether the afterlife is truly dark and distant.
Life and death, held by a single golden thread
Life and death are delicately connected, symbolized by a golden thread.
One moment you're here, and the next you're not
Life is unpredictable; one moment you exist, the next you vanish.
You fucking disappear
The sudden disappearance of someone significant.
Stare through me
The person is looking right through the speaker, perhaps indicating detachment.
You stepped away
The person has stepped away from the speaker.
Gone to somewhere, somewhere between
The person is in an indeterminate state or place.
And I can't do anything
The speaker feels helpless and unable to change the situation.
I asked him, what did you see (what did you see?)
Repeating the question about what the person witnessed.
He said, Nothing,
Again, the person saw nothing, emphasizing emptiness.
So lonely, darkness consuming,
Reiterating the sense of loneliness and the overwhelming darkness.
With a failing heart, (with a failing heart),
The failing heart persists, life continues to crumble.
My life crashed before me
The speaker sees no hope or positive outcome.
I saw no light,
Turning into a memory, suggesting a permanent departure from life.
Became a memory,
Reiterating the finality of the situation.
So that's it,
The cycle of entering consciousness and being oblivious to the exit repeats.
Over and over again,
The recurring pattern of life and death, possibly in a bleak context.
We enter consciousness,
People enter life without knowing the eventual exit.
Oblivious to the exit,
Life and death are intertwined, with uncertainty about what comes after.
Life and death,
Highlighting the complexity and ambiguity of life and death.
They ain't so black and white,
Suggesting that life and death are not absolute, with shades of gray.
We just might see the light,
There is a possibility of seeing light amidst the uncertainty.
Or maybe nothing
Alternatively, there might be nothing at all.
No, nothing at all.
Reiterating the possibility of
