May I Never Be Complete, May I Never Be Content, May I Never Be Perfect
Eternal Strife: A Melodic Reflection on Surrender and Struggle
Lyrics
we set our eyes on something out of focus
We have directed our attention toward something unclear or indistinct.
and we lost our place, we're out of frame
As a result, we have lost our position and are not within the intended scope.
stuck in a moment that we set in motion
Stuck in a particular moment that we initiated or began.
so we surrender control
Consequently, we give up control.
and wait until we're shallow breathing
We pause and hold our breath nervously.
out of breath
We reach a point of being breathless.
there's simply nothing more we can do
Feeling helpless as there's no further action to take.
sound the alarm
An alert or warning signal.
the curtain call
The final act or the end of a situation.
a chorus for the death of us all
A unified voice representing the demise of everyone.
a burial shroud of mournful song
A covering or expression of sorrowful music.
a fire burning out of control
An uncontrollable blaze.
a benediction for the hopeless to address our complaints
A blessing for those without hope to vocalize their grievances.
we bend and break and wait until we're shallow breathing
We yield and endure until we're breathless.
out of breath
Again, reaching a point of breathlessness.
there's simply nothing more we can do
A sense of helplessness with no further recourse.
sound the alarm
An alert or warning signal repeated.
the curtain call
The final act reiterated.
a chorus for the death of us all
Once more, a unified voice symbolizing the end for all.
a burial shroud of mournful song
A covering or expression of mournful music reiterated.
a fire burning out of control
An uncontrollable blaze reiterated.
stripped of purpose
Devoid of a clear objective or goal.
mediocre
Mediocre or lacking distinction.
fear is just a means of control
Fear is utilized as a tool for manipulation and authority.
bruised and broken
Injured and shattered but not defeated.
still not conquered
Despite hardships, not yet overcome; nearing an explosive point.
counting down, we're set to explode
A countdown to an imminent outburst.
sound the alarm
An alert or warning signal reiterated.
the curtain call
The final act reiterated.
a chorus for the death of us all
Once more, a unified voice symbolizing the end for all.
a burial shroud of mournful song
A covering or expression of mournful music reiterated.
a fire burning out of control
An uncontrollable blaze reiterated.
we're set to explode
We are about to reach a point of eruption or explosion.
