Lyrics
Don't say it 'til you know just what you lost
Advises against expressing regret until the consequences are fully understood.
Don't let what could've been burden your heart
Caution against letting unrealized possibilities weigh heavily on the heart.
Keeping time with the thoughts pounding through your head
Describes the challenge of keeping pace with racing thoughts.
Something's missing that you thought you had again
Suggests a realization of a loss or absence of something previously believed to be regained.
Chin up, we have all been there before
Encourages maintaining a positive outlook despite shared experiences of adversity.
Still sifting through your thoughts to collect your words
Portrays the ongoing process of sorting through thoughts to articulate feelings.
Your heart's like an ocean that could open up and swallow you whole
Compares the heart to an expansive and potentially overwhelming ocean.
Off my conscience 'til you try and clear your soul
Suggests a need to address guilt or inner conflict to attain peace of mind.
Now you're wasting my time
Expresses frustration with someone consuming time without purpose.
I waited for the onset and the cause
Anticipation for a significant event and its cause, possibly related to emotional clarity.
Keep it off my mind all the way back out
Desire to keep a particular thought at bay throughout a journey or experience.
All together now we all fall down
Declaration of collective downfall, acknowledging shared vulnerability.
Stand up and see the whole world as it was
Encourages standing up and gaining a broader perspective on the world.
Standing up to bat for the things we are
Advocates defending principles and values collectively.
All together now we stand our ground
Reaffirmation of unity despite facing challenges.
I am no saint, I am no sinner
Rejects a clear-cut identity as either a saint or a sinner.
Separate some kind of static from the message overall
Encourages distinguishing between distractions and the essential message.
Some days the world just tries to bleed you dry
Acknowledges days when the world tests resilience and emotional strength.
You've got the chance don't you let it go on by
Urges seizing opportunities instead of letting them pass.
Wasting your time
Reiterates the frustration of time being wasted without purpose.
I waited for the onset and the cause
Repetition of anticipation for a significant event and its cause.
Keep it off my mind all the way back out
Reemphasizes the desire to keep a particular thought from occupying the mind.
All together now we all fall down
Restates the theme of collective downfall with a call to stand up again.
Stand up and see the whole world as it was
Encourages standing up to perceive the world in its entirety.
Standing up to bat for the things we are
Reiterates the collective effort to defend shared values and beliefs.
All together now we stand our ground
Reaffirms unity and the resolve to stand firm together.
