Lyrics
Alone
Feeling isolated and solitary
These eyes of adolescence
Referring to the eyes during youth
Had never known farewell
No experience of saying goodbye
Until they came to witness
Witnessing something significant in December
What that December held
Reflecting on the events of that December
Climb the ladder
Metaphorically ascending or progressing
Through the window
Moving forward, possibly in life
Turn the corner
Turning a corner, symbolic of change
What awaits?
Curiosity about what lies ahead
Stop the clock every second burns
Each moment feels significant
Shattered memories, cutting deeper
Painful memories causing profound impact
We learn through loss, we'll reminisce
Learning and growing through experiences of loss
And become one with this bleak bliss
Embracing a melancholic sense of happiness
Your arms that once held this child safe
Recalling the safety of a comforting embrace
Lie crossed, frozen in rest
Symbolic rest or death, frozen in time
So summer came and went
The passing of time represented by summer
But you never returned
A person or a part of life never returning
In the wake of orphaned innocence was our lesson learned
Lesson learned from the loss of innocence
Look into the eyes of certainty
Confronting certainty with a clear gaze
No stranger to the end
Familiarity with the inevitability of the end
And know the face of mortality
Recognizing the face of death
Pain gives way to peace
Pain leading to eventual tranquility
You took the world took my best friend
Loss of a close friend and the world
My best friend
Reiteration of losing a best friend
Into despair I won't descend
Resisting the descent into despair
Descend
Reaffirmation of avoiding a downward spiral
Stop the clock every second burns
Repetition of the significance of each moment
Shattered memories, cutting deeper
Recurrence of impactful memories
We learn through loss, we'll reminisce
Emphasizing the learning process through loss
And become one with this bleak bliss
Returning to the theme of melancholic bliss
If I could reach the firmament
Expressing a desire to alter the heavens
I'd tear the skyline down
Symbolic action of reshaping one's destiny
