Torn Line
Unveiling Life's Tangled Threads Through 'Torn Line'
Lyrics
saw him moving slowly with a focus over his eyes
Observing someone moving slowly with intense focus in their eyes
though I never saw the thing he held I wasn’t surprised
Although the specific object wasn’t visible, there was an expectation or lack of surprise about it
you never know what’s going to happen most of the time
Life is unpredictable most of the time
a torn line
Metaphor for a broken or disrupted connection/path
covered in slime
Symbolic of something spoiled or damaged
guessing away all our time
Speculating and wasting time by making guesses
used to see him crying every day it’s not much before it’s a no
Previously witnessed frequent crying, soon turning into an absence of emotion
the only way to see this person laughing under the snow
The only way to witness joy is in unlikely circumstances
we saw him skating on your lake every day
Consistently observed skating on a specific lake
a torn line
Reiteration of a disrupted or broken connection/path
covered in slime
Representation of something tainted or spoiled
taking away all our time
Wasting time by engaging in an action that doesn’t lead anywhere
in this sky you’ll find me
Asserting presence in a challenging situation
it’s never what you think
Reality often differs from expectations
you’re never near the light
One remains distanced from success or understanding
you never know what’s coming
Unpredictability of future events
the sky is falling
A sense of impending disaster or chaos
are you getting wise?
Questioning if one is gaining wisdom from experiences
you’re worried time will say you
Concern about being judged negatively by time
were going nowhere
A feeling of stagnation or lack of progress
how did you get there,
Questioning someone's current situation or circumstances
i’m no lily-livered baby
Expressing courage or determination
cos if you’re going hard
When putting in considerable effort, receiving only a fraction in return
you’re getting half
Repetition emphasizes receiving less than deserved
you’re getting half
Reiterating receiving less than expected or deserved
well I’m not scared of everything
Confidence in not being afraid of everything
I’m not that scared of everything
Reaffirming lack of excessive fear
I’m not so scared of everything
Further assertion of reduced fearfulness
you’re in this fight, you’ll get yours
Indication that one will receive their fair share or due
I saw you left your things out here
Noticing belongings left outside
we’d never want you to know how
Desire to hide certain truths or situations
I could see they’d covered up your footprints
Realization that traces or evidence have been obscured or concealed
what do you know
Questioning someone's knowledge or awareness
It’s just a torn line, covered in slime, wasting away
Reiteration of a disrupted or broken connection/path leading to wastefulness
