Lyrics
I spend a lifetime curving out my fate
I've spent a lifetime shaping my destiny
Things I like, things I hate
List of preferences and dislikes
My very nature is to criticize
Inherent tendency to criticize
And then cut myself down to size
Self-deprecating behavior after criticizing
On the cusp of compromise
At the point of making concessions
To living hell, I slipped and fell
Fell into a disastrous situation
I'm in the corner licking off my wound
Isolating oneself while dealing with emotional wounds
Loves come and go, all too soon
Love is transient, fleeting
Looking back upon my life as such
Reflecting on life experiences
And the remedies they cost too much
Remedies for life's challenges are too costly
Such a frail and fragile place
Life is delicate and vulnerable
This egg and shell upon my face
Vulnerability represented by an eggshell on the face
Fueled by desire
Motivated by longing
Wind adds to fire
Wind intensifies the fire
Flame of the uninspired
Symbolic flame of those lacking inspiration
On the cusp of compromise
Again at the verge of compromising
To living hell, I slipped and fell
Repeating the experience of falling into hardship
Such a frail and fragile place
Reiteration of life's fragility
This egg and shell upon my face
Repeating the imagery of vulnerability on the face
Fueled by desire
Driven by intense longing
Wind adds to fire
External factors intensify the inner struggles
Flame of the uninspired
Symbolic flame representing uninspired individuals
