Samsara
Embracing Despair: Lower Hollow's Samsara Unveiled
Lyrics
We're caught in endless hindsight
We are trapped in constant reflection of the past.
And cradled by disdain
We are nurtured by a feeling of dislike or contempt.
We're mothered by such violence
We are influenced or shaped by intense aggression.
In a world I can't embrace
In a world that I find it difficult to accept or welcome.
Hold my frail hands as I drag my feet
Hold my weak hands as I move forward with great difficulty.
Towards an empty grave reserved for me
Towards a grave that awaits only me.
Collapse my lungs and break my will
Crush my lungs and shatter my determination.
Deny my every step
Reject every step I take.
To fill the void inside my chest
To fill the emptiness within my chest.
Seeking false ideals to no avail
Searching for false ideals without success.
Our hearts collide
Our hearts come together.
And sink like stones
And descend like heavy stones.
This darkness that we hold
This darkness that we possess.
Embedded in our being
Deeply ingrained in our existence.
Like a sheep led astray
Similar to a sheep led away from the path.
Abandoned by the flock
Abandoned by the group.
So lost and alone
Feeling extremely lost and isolated.
We clamour in the dark
We make loud and confused noises in the darkness.
Like those before and still to come
Similar to those who came before us and those who will follow.
An endless failure locked inside your gaze
A perpetual failure confined within your gaze.
You hold us close & watch us decay
You keep us close and observe as we deteriorate.
Samsara
Samsara (cycle of life, death, and rebirth)
Rise to our fall
Rising to witness our downfall.
We disintegrate into the light
We break apart and dissolve into the light.
We can't escape
We are unable to escape.
Samsara (my demise)
Samsara (referring to personal downfall)
The battle reigns on
The battle continues.
Yet the war has just begun
But the larger conflict is just beginning.
In the light of consequence
In the face of repercussions or outcomes.
I refuse to retreat
I choose not to withdraw.
Too numb to feel the burden
Too emotionally numb to sense the weight of the burden.
I will die on the frontline
I will face death at the forefront.
Ambitions bloom and shatter
Ambitions blossom and shatter.
Face my fate
Confronting my destiny.
Until I'm gone
Until I cease to exist.
