Lyrics
Before we wither away
Reflecting on the impending decline or deterioration before it happens.
Before we are weak and gray
Anticipating becoming feeble and aged before the end.
Before we are out of time
Considering the limited time left before it runs out.
We're going to tick the box
Deciding to complete a task or fulfill an obligation.
We're going to pull this off
Determined to succeed despite difficulties.
We're going to rue the day
Regretting or feeling remorseful about future events.
Deferring a debt to pay
Delaying paying a debt or facing consequences.
After the tribe is gone
After a community or group has disappeared or dispersed.
After they have moved on
Following others moving forward or progressing.
After we drink and sob
After consuming alcohol and expressing emotions.
After our thankless jobs
Following unappreciated or unrewarding work.
Yeah, fall down
An expression indicating a collapse or failure.
The rhythm of acid rain
Metaphorical representation of persistent hardship.
The constant backbeat of pain
Continual experience of distress or suffering.
Beating up my best friends
Conflict or strain in relationships with close friends.
Salad days in the sun
Recalling youthful and carefree times.
Suffering for someone
Enduring pain or difficulty for the sake of someone else.
Why is this so much fun
Questioning the enjoyment derived from suffering.
No direction
A sense of being lost or lacking guidance.
After the love has gone
After the feeling of love has faded or disappeared.
After they have moved on
Following the departure or progress of others.
After we give our speech
After delivering a speech or addressing an issue.
After we clear the breach
After resolving or fixing a problem or conflict.
But we are built to break
Recognizing inherent fragility or susceptibility to breaking.
Falling down, losing faith
Experiencing a decline or loss of faith while falling down.
It's a measure of integrity
Referring to the measure of one's honesty and moral principles.
And without our mistakes
Realizing that our mistakes are necessary for personal growth.
We would never awake
Acknowledging that mistakes are essential for awakening or realization.
It's the struggle for sake of something for nothing
Struggling for a cause or purpose without tangible reward.
Yeah, fall down
Reiterating the notion of collapse or failure.
How did we get here?
Questioning the circumstances that led to the current situation.
How did we fall so far?
Reflecting on the distance fallen from a previous state.
