Lyrics

Too much left to say,

Expressing a sense of unfinished communication or unspoken thoughts.

You never wanted it that way.

Suggesting a divergence from desired outcomes, possibly due to external factors.

And now you wake up wondering

Awakening to the consequences, questioning the current state of one's life.

Why your life is tumbling into nothing left to say

Describing a life in disarray, with a sense of emptiness and lack of meaningful expression.

You always knew it'd be that way

Anticipating a predetermined outcome, a resigned acceptance of a predictable fate.

And now you poison your dreams with a feeling that seems

Conveying the poisoning of aspirations with emotions that appear deceptive or misleading.


To leave you all alone

Feeling isolated and abandoned by others.

Ditch you halfway home

Being left stranded or unsupported in a journey, metaphorical or literal.

You pick yourself up off the ground

Recovering from a setback, picking oneself up after a difficult experience.

And find out what it's all about.

Seeking understanding or purpose in the face of challenges.


It only hurts awhile and then it's gone again.

Assuring that pain is temporary, emphasizing resilience.

No need to ask just where or when you'll find yourself again.

Encouraging a lack of worry about the specifics of recovery.

Cause you're only here awhile and then you're gone again.

Highlighting the transient nature of existence, reinforcing impermanence.

No need to ask just where or when

Reiterating the idea of not needing to know when or where recovery will occur.


Once upon a time I'd take a drink and I'd feel fine.

Reflecting on a past when coping mechanisms were different and more manageable.

But now it hurts me everywhere, sick secrets I can't share.

Acknowledging a shift to more harmful coping mechanisms, possibly related to personal struggles.

Nothing left to say

Echoing a sense of emptiness, a repetition of the theme from earlier lines.

I always knew it'd be that way.

Reiterating the acceptance of an anticipated outcome.

And now I've poisoned my dreams with a feeling that seems

Describing a recurrence of poisoning aspirations, reinforcing a sense of inevitability.


To leave me all alone

Re-experiencing isolation and abandonment, possibly with a personal connection.

Ditch me halfway home.

Being left stranded again, adding to a sense of repeated vulnerability.

I'll pick myself up off the ground

Reaffirming resilience and determination to overcome challenges.

And find out what it's all about

Seeking understanding and purpose despite recurring difficulties.


Falling faster towards the ground

Describing a rapid descent, possibly metaphorical, into a challenging situation.

You are

Indicating a realization or awareness of the current state of descent.

Falling faster down and down

Emphasizing a continued and accelerating descent.
