Lyrics
Following the only thing that I know, right on time
Following a familiar path, adhering to a routine.
It hit me with the realization that nothing’s ever what you hoped you’d find
Realizing that reality often differs from one's expectations.
And the dreams don’t shatter they just rearrange
Dreams do not necessarily break; they transform or change.
In the shape of the wound that’s made
The impact of experiences takes on a recognizable form.
When I wake in the morning sleep is still calling,
Upon waking, the desire for sleep persists.
There’s something I can’t find
There is something elusive or missing.
I still haven’t answered the question on my mind
Unanswered questions linger in the mind.
How long?
Pose a question about the duration of a situation or state.
How long to sacrifice?
Asking how long to endure a sacrifice.
How long?
Questioning the time required for things to interconnect.
How long to intertwine?
Wondering about the duration needed for intertwining.
My words fall short
Expressing inadequacy in words.
It’s time—your choice
Time is passing, and a decision is imminent.
How long? How long?
Repetition of the question about duration, emphasizing uncertainty.
Crowds of shapes and figurines, is anything ever as it seems?
Reflecting on the uncertainty and deceptive nature of surroundings.
I been prone to misery, but I’m holding on the what I hope to find
Acknowledging past suffering while maintaining hope for a better future.
And the dreams don’t shatter they just rearrange
Reiteration that dreams transform rather than break.
In the shape of the wound that’s made
The impact of experiences takes on a recognizable form (repeated imagery).
When I wake in the morning sleep is still calling,
The persistence of a desire for sleep despite waking.
There’s something I can’t find
Continued search for something elusive.
I still haven’t answered the question on my mind
Unresolved questions persist in the mind (repeated imagery).
Chorus
A section or refrain in the song, possibly summarizing the theme.
How long will I live this life?
Questioning the duration of the current way of life.
Will these questions see the light?
Contemplating whether unanswered questions will find resolution.
