Lifelines
Cutting Lifelines: A Melancholic Journey of Regret and Loss
Lyrics
I know that this might calm down
I acknowledge that things may become calmer.
And I know I could sink and not drown
I understand that I could go through difficulties but survive without succumbing.
But treading all night's getting old
Continuously navigating through challenges throughout the night is becoming tiresome.
And sunrise these days leaves me cold
The sunrise these days fails to bring warmth; it leaves me emotionally distant.
I know, I can't turn this around
I realize I cannot reverse this situation.
Cause when I cut your lifeline
Upon severing our connection or lifeline,
I started falling - so far
I began descending into a state of despair.
I couldn't look back
I reached a point where looking back was impossible.
When I cut your lifeline
When I ended our connection or lifeline,
You were calling - so hard
You were desperately reaching out,
I couldn't shout back
but I couldn't respond or shout back.
So no more of the long walks through town
No more strolls through town,
And no more talks of who let who down
and no more discussions about blame.
Though now I've said all my goodbyes
Despite bidding farewell,
My mind is filled with kind replies
my thoughts are filled with gentle and understanding responses.
I know, I know
I am aware, I am aware.
Cause when I cut your lifeline
Because of the break in our connection or lifeline,
I started falling - so far
I found myself descending profoundly,
I couldn't look back
and looking back became impossible.
When I cut your lifeline
When I severed our lifeline,
You were calling - so hard
You were desperately calling out,
I couldn't shout back
but I couldn't respond or shout back.
Let it all settle down, let it all settle down
Let everything settle down,
And yet I think I'll miss you if I fall
Yet, I anticipate that I will feel a sense of loss if I descend or fail.
