Lyrics
Claw my way with these bleeding hands
Struggling persistently, facing challenges with hands that are wounded and bleeding.
No time to breathe, I can't make a stand
Under pressure and urgency, unable to take a firm stance or pause for breath.
My anger builds, there's no promised land
Growing frustration and resentment as there is no promised or assured better place or situation.
But I wait
Despite difficulties, there is a patient anticipation or readiness for something.
She knows my fate is sealed
Someone (possibly the lake) is aware that the speaker's destiny is fixed or predetermined.
The lake, she watches me
The lake is a silent observer, watching the speaker's actions and fate.
Watching crows picking clean the bones
Observing crows scavenging and consuming the remains, leaving only barren ground.
Leaving nothing but the barren soil
A desolate landscape emerges as desperation increases, with no hopeful future in sight.
Desperation grows, there's no promised land
The sense of hopelessness persists with no promised land despite escalating desperation.
But I wait
Patiently enduring the challenging circumstances while anticipating something.
She knows my fate is sealed
Reiteration that someone (possibly the lake) is aware of the speaker's predetermined destiny.
The lake, she watches me
The lake continues to silently observe and witness the speaker's journey and fate.
It's time to go, I can't wait no more
A decision to move on, indicating impatience and the inability to wait any longer.
The time of crows, it has come and gone
A period marked by challenges and difficulties (time of crows) has passed.
From fire born, a promised land
A new beginning or hope emerges from the aftermath of challenges, symbolized as a promised land.
And she knows
Emphasizing that the lake is aware of the speaker's fate and the emerging positive change.
She knows my fate is sealed
Reiteration of the acknowledgment that someone (possibly the lake) knows the speaker's predetermined destiny.
The lake, she watches me
The continuing watchfulness of the lake over the speaker and their fate.
She knows my fate is sealed
Emphasizing again that someone (possibly the lake) is aware of the speaker's fixed destiny.
The lake, she watches me
The ongoing silent observation of the speaker by the lake and acknowledgment of their fate.
Watch me!
An exclamation, drawing attention to the speaker's visibility and the watchful gaze of the lake.
