Unveiling Life's Dilemmas: Requisite Catastrophes Revealed
Lyrics
Why do we base our lives on breaking everything
Questioning the tendency to destructively break things in life.
There's only so much grace on down the line
Suggesting limited opportunities for redemption or forgiveness.
Like all the cuts that happen just in time
Referring to timely wounds or hurts that occur in life.
The patterned whispers pantomimed
Describing symbolic or imitated whispers in patterns.
And the cycles we repeat time after time
Highlighting repetitive cycles of behavior or events.
As science waits for us to all believe it's true
Mentioning skepticism towards widely accepted scientific beliefs.
The chemicals we breathe lead to decay
Linking the air we breathe to decay caused by chemicals.
And as the blood keeps racing to our heads
Referring to the increased blood flow to the head, possibly under stress.
As we lie sequestered in our beds
Describing a state of seclusion or isolation in bed.
We can't think of a single thing to say
Expressing speechlessness or an inability to communicate.
While the requisite catastrophes lie guilty by our sides
Pointing to unavoidable disasters present in our lives.
Preventing us from forging our way through
Suggesting hindrances preventing progress or change.
But we were never brave enough to push beyond our fears
Reflecting on a lack of courage to overcome fears.
And obediently dream that it was true
Acknowledging submission to false dreams or beliefs.
It was true
Reaffirming the truth of the situation or condition.
We spent a fortune at forgetting who we are
Commenting on the cost of forgetting one's true self.
Instead we're left defined by things possessed
Describing identity based on material possessions.
By virtue or entitlement
Discussing identity shaped by virtue or entitlement.
We're left to wonder where it went
Expressing uncertainty about the direction life has taken.
And did we even understand at all
Raising doubts about the depth of understanding.
We've bred our own disasters
Attributing self-created disasters to our actions.
But we don't know what it's for
Expressing a lack of understanding about the purpose of struggles.
Just stumble and believe
Encouraging blind belief despite stumbling repeatedly.
Like a thousand times before
Describing a repetitive pattern of belief despite uncertainties.
So caught up running faster
Being entangled in a rush towards a certain and unchanging paradigm.
Toward a paradigm so sure
Expressing fear or hesitation in pursuing something different.
To terrified to leave
Describing a state of being too afraid to seek change.
Or hope for something more
Suggesting a lack of hope for a better future.
Some days are just survival
Highlighting the struggle for survival in challenging days.
Inside a world as hard as stone
Describing a world perceived as unyielding and harsh.
We commiserate on fortunes
Sharing experiences and empathy regarding life's uncertainties.
And a fate that's all our own
Referring to personal fate as something unique to each individual.
You can curse your own complacence
Encouraging self-reflection and action over complacency.
Or better breach the highest wall
Suggesting the importance of overcoming obstacles.
To find solace in reflection
Advocating finding comfort and understanding through reflection.
And we were never here at all
Questioning the impact or significance of our existence.
