Trial by Fire
Journey Through Existence: Trial by Fire's Haunting Reflections
Lyrics
Gonna move out on the highway, make this moment last
Gearing up to embark on a journey, cherishing this current moment
Til it closes with the future, blending with the past.
Continuing until the present merges seamlessly with the past
Rollin' on and doin' fine, what do you think I see?
Progressing smoothly; questioning what is observable
That boney hand comes a beckonin', saying buddy come go with me.
A symbolic, eerie gesture, beckoning towards mortality or the unknown
That engine just ain't strong enough to get you round the turn
The force or power at hand isn't sufficient to navigate a challenging circumstance
Lie on your back in the middle of a field, and watch your body burn.
A metaphorical image of detachment from one's physical self, potentially indicating self-destruction or a significant transformation
Don't try to tell me just who I am when you don't know yourself
Challenging someone's authority to define another when they lack self-awareness
Spend half your time running out on the street
Spending considerable time engaged in external activities while neglecting inner thoughts or identity
With your mind home on a shelf.
An indication of dissociation between actions and inner thoughts or values
Lookin' at me with your eyes full of fire
Observing someone intensely, possibly with hostility or intense emotion
Like you'd rather be seein' me dead
Expressing a preference for the observer's demise
Lying on the floor with a hole in my face
Imagery of a violent act or extreme situation involving the observer
And a ten gauge shotgun at my head
An intense and extreme image of danger or harm
You can leave me here, but I won't tell
Promising silence about known secrets or information
Things I know about you and know so well
Implying deep familiarity with the individual's characteristics or behavior
The way you smile at me, try to set me free
Noting attempts to appear supportive while causing uncertainty about the future
And keep me wondering what the future will be
Creating a sense of anticipation or doubt regarding what is to come
Rollin' on, won't be long
Continuing the journey, insinuating imminent completion
I won't leave here til' I sing this song.
Declaring a commitment to remain until a task (singing the song) is accomplished
