Six Over Eight
Navigating Life's Chessboard: Unraveling the Meaning of 'Six Over Eight' by In Parallel
Lyrics
Where's the peace of mind
Expressing a search for inner calm and contentment.
Where's a piece of anything we want
Questioning the availability of desirable aspects in life.
What were we instructed to do
Reflecting on past guidance or instructions.
Where's the peace the world hasn't gifted to you
Challenging the notion that peace is given freely by the world.
You'll find a way if there's another way
Expressing determination to find alternative solutions.
Six over eight and wasting away
Using "Six over eight" metaphorically, possibly denoting a struggle or imbalance.
It's just human nature, we feel it that way
Attributing certain feelings to human nature.
Turns that we'll take will lead to mistakes
Anticipating errors or wrong choices in the journey of life.
They'll be there tomorrow
Highlighting the persistence of challenges.
There's so much at stake
Stressing the high stakes involved in life's challenges.
Maybe there's a plan
Suggesting the possibility of a predetermined course of events.
Maybe there's a lot you won't do
Acknowledging limitations or boundaries in one's actions.
Careful, there's a victim in you
Cautioning about the potential harm within oneself.
How're they gonna know
Raising questions about recognition or understanding by others.
How's it gonna feel when they do
Exploring the emotional impact of future events.
Everyone's an imposter too
Suggesting a sense of deception or falseness in everyone.
The ringing never leaves you but
Describing a persistent mental burden or disturbance.
The noise will get you through
Implying that noise serves as a coping mechanism.
Maybe there's a plan but it hasn't included you
Casting doubt on the inclusion in a larger plan.
You want it to, I know you want it to
Acknowledging a desire for inclusion or validation.
Six over eight and wasting away
Reiterating the struggle denoted by "Six over eight."
It's just human nature, we feel it that way
Reaffirming the attribution of certain feelings to human nature.
Turns that we'll take will lead to mistakes
Repeating the anticipation of mistakes in life's journey.
They'll be there tomorrow
Emphasizing the enduring presence of challenges.
There's so much at stake
Reiterating the high stakes involved in life's challenges.
