Lyrics
I've seen right through the eyes of better men
I've seen through the experiences of more admirable individuals
Seen what troubled them
Witnessed their challenges and struggles
And I saw you
I observed you
You ignore any pleas for dignity
You disregard requests for respect and honor
Won't please anybody
You don't seek to please anyone but yourself
But yourself
Emphasis on self-centered actions
It's time to find out where this ocean ends
Time to discover the limits of this situation
Time to make amends
Time to make reparations
And then unwind
Followed by a need to relax
I walk alone beneath a stormy sky
I traverse alone under a turbulent sky
Try not to wonder why
Avoiding contemplation of the reasons
I arrived here
I reached this point
We hope that someday soon the clouds are gone
A collective hope for the clouds to disperse
That if we wander on
If we continue our journey
The skies will clear
Optimism that the situation will improve
It's time to find out where this ocean ends
Reiteration of the need to explore the unknown
Time to make amends
Reiterating the necessity for reconciliation
And then unravel every single choice that led us here
To untangle every decision that brought us here
Let go of any fear
Release any lingering fear
Still left behind
Acknowledging what is still unresolved
We've become tin men
We have become heartless individuals
And we'll make a mess of things
Anticipating making a mess of things
Then find another place to hide beneath the waves
Then seeking refuge beneath the waves
We'll steal some life
We'll take some chances in life
Find a new use for an old knife
Adapting an old tool for new purposes
Pray it makes up for the mistakes that we've made
Hoping it compensates for past mistakes
Do you want me to change?
Questioning if you desire a change in me
Or do you want to stay
Or if you prefer to remain
Frozen in place
Frozen in time, reliving the past
Reliving old days?
Asking if change is in your plans
Are you going to change?
Predicting you'll wait for the day
You'll still be holding out for the day
When you express what you've kept inside
When you find what you wanted to say
Awaiting clarity as everything fades
When everything fades
Anticipating the eventual dissolution of everything
