Jesus Bones
Unveiling Inner Struggles: "Jesus Bones" Exploring Human Desperation
Lyrics
Foundation starts to shake
Reference to a foundational disturbance or crisis
From the pounding full of angst
Intense and emotionally charged pounding
And this door isn't holding back
A barrier unable to withstand the force
What's in destruction's wake
The aftermath of destructive forces
I want to know how every bone will break
Curiosity about the extent of physical harm
How many breaths are left for me to take
Contemplating the remaining lifespan
I try to hold the light but the darkness lies in wait
Struggling to dispel darkness despite efforts
How do I own it?
Questioning ownership of a situation
How do I control it?
Seeking control in a challenging circumstance
Suffocate the breathing
Attempting to suppress vitality
Cut the air flowing
Interrupting the natural flow of life
Grinding broken glass in between my teeth
Suffering, expressed metaphorically as broken glass
Sharpened words dig the shrapnel deep
Verbal wounds causing deep emotional impact
Drive the nail in place
Symbolic act of securing something in a challenging race
It's the square route in a circle race
Confronting difficulties in a non-linear journey
Stubborn as I stand
Resolute and unyielding stance
I am wound tightly, it's a classic case
Tightly wound, displaying a typical scenario
I want to know how every promise breaks
Curiosity about the breaking of commitments
Who's going to bet against the chips I've placed?
Challenging others to doubt the choices made
Fix my focus with these notes on the page
Using musical notes to regain concentration
I try to hold the light but the darkness lies in wait
Struggling with darkness despite efforts to illuminate
Grinding broken glass in between my teeth
Symbolic suffering and enduring pain
Sharpened words dig the shrapnel deep
Verbal attacks causing lasting wounds
How do I own it?
Questioning ownership of a situation (repeated)
How do I control it?
Seeking control in a challenging circumstance (repeated)
Suffocate the breathing
Attempting to suppress vitality (repeated)
Cut the air flowing
Interrupting the natural flow of life (repeated)
Wounds won't heal
Physical and emotional wounds persist
Until the dirt's cleaned out
Healing requires confronting underlying issues
