We Want It All
Fragments of Lost Dreams
Lyrics
Oh how hope has died
Expressing a sense of lost hope and despair.
I am just feeding on white lies
Acknowledging a reliance on comforting but deceptive falsehoods.
And when the dawn breaks to the sky
Anticipating a new day with a potential for change.
I'll be the one to melt with time
Claiming responsibility for the inevitable passage of time.
How heaven hurts
Describing the pain associated with heavenly or idealized experiences.
Sometimes it sucks you dry and leaves you numb
Reflecting on how certain experiences can drain one's emotions and leave them emotionally detached.
And left for dumb
Feeling foolish or unintelligent after a challenging experience.
And where to run?
Contemplating where to escape or find solace.
These tears have ran far enough to touch the sun
Expressing the extent of emotional pain, suggesting tears reaching the sun.
And I want it all...
Desire for comprehensive success or fulfillment in life.
Falling in two
Acknowledging a personal struggle or conflict.
I'm falling in two
Reiteration of internal conflict or emotional turmoil.
We are lost in space without a trace
Feeling lost and without a clear path or identity.
And it feels so cold
Describing a cold and isolating emotional state.
And it feels so cold
Reinforcing the emotional coldness and difficulty in overcoming it.
That I cannot pick myself up off the ground
Expressing difficulty in overcoming personal challenges.
And this trail of bones lingers on
Referencing a lingering trail of past mistakes or regrets.
No one wants to hear
Addressing the reluctance of others to face or acknowledge personal failures.
No one wants to see a child they raised to be a failure
Highlighting the disappointment of not meeting parental expectations.
But for now, let me get this game straight
Expressing a desire to clarify one's intentions or plans.
Let me strap on this fake face
Preparing to put on a facade or false appearance for the benefit of others.
You'll watch me win it all
Confidently anticipating success in a venture.
Then watch me fall
Acknowledging the possibility of subsequent failure after initial success.
Falling in two
Repeating the theme of internal conflict or emotional struggle.
I'm falling in two
Continuation of personal turmoil and internal division.
Happiness fought hard with a backfire
Questioning the morality or consequences of pursuing happiness.
Can it be so wrong?
Pondering the perceived wrongness of seeking happiness.
"Can it be so wrong?" I asked
Pose a rhetorical question about the perceived wrongness.
A velvet curtain fell
Describing the sudden end of a positive situation.
We blew away and the violins carry on
Symbolic imagery of a departure with the music continuing.
Falling in two
Reiteration of the theme of internal conflict or emotional turmoil.
Falling in two
Repeating the idea of falling into emotional distress.
Turn the knife
Metaphorically describing emotional pain as a knife turning.
And seperate me one more time
Expressing a desire for separation or escape from emotional distress.
And it looks so worn
Observing the worn and tired appearance of emotional experiences.
Your smiles so cold and worn
Describing the cold and worn appearance of someone's smile.
I should have seen this hell sometime ago
Reflecting on a realization about a difficult situation.
And a distant scream echoes on...
Conveying the persistence of a distant scream or unresolved pain.
