Visceral
Visceral Love: A Journey Through Pain to Dawn
Lyrics
A visceral love runs the length of our veins
A profound and deeply felt love flows through our veins.
As we sit above the miles of pain
While we endure the vast expanse of pain.
Till all of our fears become skinny ones
Our fears become thin and insignificant.
And from your window I can see a kingdom come
From your perspective, I can witness a glorious future unfolding.
Hearts will wage war, but in the settling dust
Hearts may engage in conflicts, but in the aftermath, only remnants persist.
What remains at the end of us
What endures when the conflicts conclude?
Our skinny fears for our cold resolve
Our insignificant fears contrast with our strong determination.
When from your window I can see the ages dawn
From your viewpoint, I can witness the dawn of ages.
Cinder and stone (brick and mortar)
Reference to building materials symbolizing strength.
Everybody folds (up against the water)
People surrender or conform when faced with challenges.
Cinder and stone (brick and mortar)
Reiteration of the strength and endurance implied by "Cinder and stone."
Everybody folds, everybody folds
Everyone surrenders or conforms; it's a universal response.
Hearts will wage war, but in the settling dust
Similar to line 6, emphasizing the aftermath of conflicts.
What remains at the end of us
Reflection on what persists after conflicts conclude.
Our skinny fears for our cold resolve
Reiteration of the contrast between insignificant fears and strong resolve.
When from your rooftop I can see the ages dawn
From an elevated vantage point, witnessing the beginning of a new era.
Cinder and stone (brick and mortar)
Repetition of building materials, emphasizing endurance.
Everybody folds (up against the water)
People conform or surrender in the face of challenges, likened to water.
Cinder and stone (brick and mortar)
Emphasizing the strength and resilience represented by "Cinder and stone."
Everybody folds, everybody folds
Universal surrender or conformity in challenging circumstances.
Memories rust and trophies fade
Recollections deteriorate, and achievements lose significance over time.
In the remnants of our glory days
In the remnants of our past glories, the transience of achievements is evident.
Will we regret the thing that we've made
Questioning if we'll regret the path we've taken.
From your table I can see a better way
From your perspective, I can envision a better way forward.
