Sing for the Damage We've Done
Echoes of Apathy: Unveiling the Dark Tapestry of 'Sing for the Damage We've Done'
Lyrics
It’s been so long, it’s difficult to tell
Reflecting on the passage of time, expressing difficulty in recognizing or remembering.
If I truly miss what I once called home
Uncertainty about missing a place once considered home.
It’s been so long, it’s difficult to tell
Reiterating the theme of the passing of time and the challenge of recognizing one's past.
If this truly was my longest way home
Questioning if the current situation is indeed the longest journey home.
So, sing for the damage we’ve done
Encouraging acknowledgment and expression for the harm caused.
And the worse things yet to come
Anticipating and acknowledging the possibility of even worse events in the future.
Sing for the damage we’ve done
Reiterating the need to sing for the damage inflicted.
And the worse things we’ll still do
Acknowledging the potential for more harm in the future.
Cause with you at my side
Expressing confidence and security when accompanied by someone.
I will never be lost
Asserting that having a companion prevents feeling lost.
As my apathy is death
Linking apathy to death on a personal level.
Our apathy is death
Expanding the concept of apathy leading to death to a collective level.
But with you at my side
Contradicting the earlier assertion, suggesting that having a companion leads to feeling lost.
I will always be lost
Connecting apathy to personal feelings of being lost.
As my apathy is death
Linking apathy to death on a personal level for the second time.
Your apathy is death
Extending the idea of apathy causing death to the companion.
You can take my word I wish I would have followed you
Expressing regret for not following someone's advice or example.
You can take my word I wish I could have followed you
Repeating the wish to have followed someone's guidance.
And so we’ll witness how the last days will come and stay
Anticipating and observing the arrival and persistence of the last days or difficult times.
And so we witnessed when the last days came and stayed
Recalling and witnessing the occurrence of the last days.
So, drink from the night itself
Encouraging the consumption of experiences from the night, which may be dark and challenging.
The night no one came home
Referencing a night where no one found solace or comfort.
Drink from the night itself
Repeating the call to drink from the challenging night.
But remember me as a time of day
Requesting to be remembered as a moment in time rather than forgotten.
Cause you not understanding my silence
Highlighting the difficulty of understanding through silence.
Makes you also deaf to my words
Connecting the lack of understanding in silence to deafness in words.
Cause every word has consequences
Emphasizing the consequences of every spoken word.
And every silence seems to have too
Acknowledging the potential consequences of silence.
Sing for the damage we’ve done
Reiterating the call to sing for the harm already done.
And the worse things yet to come
Expressing anticipation of even worse events to come.
Sing for the damage we’ve done
Reiterating the need to sing for the damage inflicted.
And the worse things we’ll still do
Acknowledging the potential for more harm in the future.
