Lyrics
Is this the way that we begin?
Reflecting on the beginning and questioning its nature.
Made our connections when the stars rolled in
Established connections during a starry moment.
Do you recall those constellations
Asking about memories of constellations.
Or did your lose them when tomorrow came?
Wondering if those memories were lost with the arrival of tomorrow.
Gone past remembering your all time low
Acknowledging a forgetfulness about a low point in the past.
Can't you keep it all?
Questioning the ability to retain everything.
I see surrender in your eyes
Perceiving a sense of surrender in someone's eyes.
We miss the deadline and I don't know why
Feeling the impact of missing a deadline without understanding why.
How many others did you bring down?
Questioning the negative influence on others.
All unfamiliar 'til you showed them how
Noting the transformation of the unfamiliar under someone's influence.
Can't think of everything every time
Acknowledging the impossibility of thinking of everything all the time.
Trouble will find me now if I don't make a move
Anticipating trouble if no action is taken.
I thought that there was nothing left to prove
Reflecting on a belief that there was nothing left to prove.
We said it all, don't say it anymore
Declaring that everything has been said and should not be repeated.
Nothing anymore
Emphasizing a sense of finality, with nothing left to say.
Since time's not on your side or mine
Recognizing the limitations of time for both individuals.
If I meet you halfway do we land so blind?
Questioning the possibility of mutual understanding and agreement.
Can't change the contours from within me
Unable to change inner qualities or characteristics.
Got disconnected from the shape I'm in
Feeling disconnected from one's current state.
Gone past remembering, it's over now
Acknowledging the passage of time and the conclusion of a phase.
Certain to catch your eye, sure to change your mind
Confident that something will catch attention and alter perspectives.
More alive than some strung out on the line
Describing a vibrant state, contrasting with a troubled state.
I'm held spellbound 'til now I'm carried away
Expressing captivation until being carried away.
After the calls fell through, all of the guns fell too
Noting a shift after failed communications and conflicts.
Where in the world would they begin their march?
Questioning the starting point of a significant journey or change.
You better than anyone would know
Acknowledging someone's superior understanding of certain situations.
Where in the world they hide, wouldn't we hide there too?
Speculating on hiding places in the world.
Man of the moment played a lonely hand
Describing a lonely role played by an influential figure.
Then suddenly everything became part of another plan
Highlighting a sudden shift into a new plan or situation.
When memory failed, vile bodies were all we had
Connecting the absence of memory with a reliance on physical bodies.
Some covered their own, laid under a layer of ash
Describing efforts to protect oneself under layers of difficulty.
Long said over lines, stones keeping forgotten time
Referring to the passing of time and its impact.
When memory failed
Reiterating the failure of memory.
Man of the moment, your time has gone
Declaring the end of someone's influential period.
More unknown than unknown and holding on
Emphasizing the unknown and the struggle to hold on.
Love song vagabonds, bags of bones
Describing individuals as wandering troubadours with fragile bodies.
Skins tones in monochrome, carbon codes
Depicting diversity through various physical characteristics and codes.
All best intentions intensified
Noting intensified good intentions, though not always successful.
More known than unknown and open wide
Balancing familiarity and the unknown while staying open-minded.
Love song got it wrong every night
Acknowledging the failure of a love song every night.
Outside, dead inside, out of sight
Describing a state of being unseen and emotionally detached.
