This Old Ground
Echoes of Despair: Navigating Loss and Redemption in 'This Old Ground'
Lyrics
Waking up all alone
Feeling the solitude upon waking up.
My mind's gone dry, you know
Experiencing a mental block or emptiness.
My heart is ready, but my head grows heavy at the thought of letting go
Emotionally prepared, but struggling with the difficulty of moving on.
cnd that's how the story goes
Summarizing the narrative or experience.
c man loses all he knows
A person loses everything familiar.
Yeah, he's lost his mind, then he's out of time, gotta find a way to cope
Describing a mental breakdown and the urgency to cope.
Yeah, he's lost his mind, and he can't find no hope
Expressing a sense of hopelessness.
Roll in the ashes, of all you've burned down
Reflecting on the consequences of destructive actions.
Keep casting shadows on this old ground
Continuing to cast a negative influence on the current situation.
If only time, weren't leaving now
Yearning for more time, regretting its fleeting nature.
Don't cry for help when you drown
Warning against seeking help when it's too late.
Waking up all alone
Repeating the experience of waking up in isolation.
My mind's gone dry, you know
Reiteration of a mental emptiness.
My heart is ready, but my head grows heavy at the thought of letting go
Emotional readiness conflicting with the difficulty of moving on.
cnd that's how the story goes
Restating the cyclical nature of the story.
c man loses all he knows
Reemphasizing the loss of everything known.
Yeah, he's lost his mind, then he's out of time, gotta find a way to cope
Reiterating the urgency to cope with a deteriorating mental state.
Yeah, he's lost his mind, and he can't find no hope
Reaffirming the inability to find hope.
Roll in the ashes, of all you've burned down
Revisiting the aftermath of destructive actions.
Keep casting shadows on this old ground
Persisting in casting shadows on the existing situation.
If only time, weren't leaving now
Expressing a wish for more time.
Don't cry for help when you drown
Repeating the caution against seeking help too late.
