Narrow Margins
Navigating Life's Boundaries: Half Moon Run's Narrow Margins
Lyrics
I can't live this way
I am unable to continue living in this manner.
Breaking all my rules again
I am breaking my own established rules once again.
Choking on my gin
Feeling suffocated by my own actions, possibly related to alcohol consumption.
You push 'til I give in
You persist until I yield, and the one who gives in is always the loser.
'Til the loser always wins
The one who concedes or gives in is consistently the loser in this dynamic.
Somehow with his beckoning
Someone is beckoning, possibly with a negative impact.
Bruising with his threads
Causing harm with persuasive or manipulative tactics.
Confusing what he says
Causing confusion through words or actions.
But I won't live that way
I refuse to live in that manner.
Though I kind of want to anyway
Despite the desire, I resist living in that way.
Kind of want to play
Expressing a desire to engage in something, possibly risky or adventurous.
With all the pretty and the pure
Wanting to interact with beauty and purity.
Well, I return to the earth
Returning to the earth could symbolize mortality or a humble existence.
I return to the dust
A acknowledgment of mortality and impermanence.
No more beauty by the pound
No more superficial beauty, suggesting a shift in values.
And this I do not trust
Expressing a lack of trust in something.
'Cause nothing forgives
Nothing forgives, emphasizing a lack of redemption or absolution.
Rules and narrow margins
Life is governed by strict rules and limited possibilities.
In our lives
These rules and narrow margins define our lives.
It's rules and narrow margins
It is within these rules and narrow margins that I navigate.
That I'ma slip by
Expressing an intention to navigate or overcome these limitations.
I can't find the time
I struggle to find the time for something.
I don't know the future
Uncertain about what the future holds.
I couldn't bring that past back
Unable to bring back the past.
I waste what little time I have
I waste the limited time I have.
But I swear I almost touched it
An almost tangible experience that eluded my grasp.
Yet it slipped between my fingers
Despite almost reaching it, it slipped away.
Sent shivers down my spine
Evoking a physical and emotional reaction, possibly related to a missed opportunity.
Cut a splinter in my mind
Leaving a lasting impact on my thoughts or consciousness.
But it wasn't nothing again
Despite the significant experience, it turns out to be insignificant.
There's rules and narrow margins
Life is still constrained by rules and narrow margins.
But our life
Reiterating that these rules and margins define our lives.
It's rules and narrow margins
Living within the limitations and constraints of rules.
That I'ma slip by
Expressing a determination to navigate or slip through these restrictions.
Rules and narrow margins
Repeating the idea of rules and narrow margins.
Rules and narrow margins
Emphasizing once again the restrictive nature of rules and margins.
That I'ma slip by
Reiterating the intention to navigate through these limitations.
