If He's Still About
Journey Through Desolation: Unveiling Life's Abyss with Macon Connors
Lyrics
As soon as you hit rock bottom you can still go down you know
When you reach rock bottom, there's still the possibility of further decline.
'Neath the soil where the roots will grow
Beneath the surface where growth occurs, even in difficult circumstances.
And when you see you're dirty face down in the mud
Facing the harsh reality, feeling defeated and humbled in the mud.
You'll find your way into the darkest pit there was
Navigating towards the darkest and most challenging situations.
So don't talk to me about reason
Dismissal of discussing logic or rationality.
Don't talk to be about pain
Refusal to engage in conversations about pain or suffering.
Don't talk to me about treason
Resistance to discussions involving betrayal or treachery.
In the dust and ash I lay
Existence in a state of desolation and ruin.
And when you think you're riding north
Believing you're progressing positively, but facing setbacks.
And everything goes south
When things seem to be going wrong despite your efforts.
Ask your god if he's still about
Questioning the presence or involvement of a higher power in adversity.
When your gun is nearly loaded, but your head is out in space
Being physically prepared but mentally distant or distracted.
Are those beads of sweat or bullets running 'cross your face
Confusion between anxiety (sweat) and imminent danger (bullets).
And life now as you know it will never be the same
Acknowledging that life will undergo a profound and irreversible change.
Do you walk away and hang your head in shame
Contemplating whether to face consequences or avoid them in shame.
So don't talk to me about reason
Reiteration of resistance to logical arguments or explanations.
Don't talk to be about pain
Continued refusal to discuss emotional or physical suffering.
Don't talk to me about treason
Persisting in avoiding talks related to betrayal or disloyalty.
In the dust and ash I lay
Existence in a desolate state, emphasizing the aftermath of hardship.
And when you think you're riding north
Believing in progress, but facing a reversal of fortune.
And everything goes south
When everything seems to go wrong despite expectations.
Ask your god if he's still about
Questioning the presence or responsiveness of a higher power in adversity.
So don't talk to me about reason
Reiteration of the refusal to discuss matters of logic or rationality.
Don't talk to be about pain
Repeating the refusal to engage in discussions about pain or suffering.
Don't talk to me about treason
Repeating the resistance to talks related to betrayal or treachery.
In the dust and ash I lay
Emphasizing the continued existence in a state of desolation and ruin.
And when you think you're riding north
Believing in progress, but encountering setbacks and challenges.
And everything goes south
When everything seems to go wrong despite efforts to move forward.
Ask your god if he's still about
Reiterating the question about the presence or involvement of a higher power.
