Hollow Horizons
Lost Purpose: Embracing Tomorrow's Heartache
Lyrics
I have lost my... purpose
Feeling devoid of direction or goal
Even though it's laid
Despite its clarity, it feels elusive or challenging to attain
Out in front of me
A clear path is visible but inaccessible
And I can't seem to
Unable to seize the opportunity or goal
Reach out and grab it
A struggle to grasp what's in reach
Another second till' it all just slips away
Sense of time slipping away before achieving
Leave me lost in the silence
Feeling lost in a state of quietness or loneliness
Break
Request or a call to interrupt or disrupt
Me
To cause a breakdown or weakening
Down
Reducing oneself to a smaller scale or perspective
To size
Diminishing the significance of something strong or passionate
The fire
The passion or fervor has diminished
Has
Departure or absence
Left
No longer within sight or perception
My eyes
The loss of vision or perspective
One day we said we'd be the difference
A promise or hope to make a difference
One day we might not have a defence
A time where defense might not be possible
I have lost
Reiteration of feeling devoid of direction
My purpose
Reiterating the sense of purposelessness
Even though it's laid out in front of me
Re-emphasizing the clear but unattainable goal
And I can't seem to reach out and grab it
Repeated struggle to grasp something within reach
Another second until it all just slips away
Continued fear of losing opportunities due to time slipping away
So let us fight for what it's worth
Advocating for fighting for something valuable
And bury me under the hurt
Desire to be overwhelmed or consumed by pain
I never said it would be enough
Realization that efforts might not be sufficient
I thought I saved you
Belief in having rescued someone but failing to do so
I'm sorry you're broken too
Regret for being unable to mend someone else's brokenness
Come on
Encouragement or urging to act
Get up
Request to rise or stand up
You have feet for a reason
Emphasizing the ability to move forward
Don't walk on your knees
Advising against self-inflicted difficulties
Go
An urging or directive to proceed
It's all there in front of me
Confirmation of visibility but inaccessibility
The hollow horizon
Emptiness or lack of fulfillment in the future
So are you with me or against me?
Seeking allegiance or opposition from others
As we head for the silence
Heading towards a quiet or desolate state
I have lost my purpose
Restating the absence of direction or purpose
Of course it hurts
Acknowledgment of pain or discomfort
I want you to know
Desire to convey the significance of pain in life
It's the fabric of life
Life's foundation and the essence of the future
And the heart of tomorrow
Reiteration of the significance of the future
The heart of tomorrow
Emphasizing the importance of the future
So let us fight for what it's worth
Advocacy for fighting for something valuable
And bury me under the hurt
Willingness to be consumed by pain for a cause
I never said it would be enough
Understanding the insufficiency of efforts
I thought I saved you but you're broken too now
Realization that unable to mend someone else's brokenness
Help
Plea or cry for assistance
Me
Request for assistance or support
Forget
Urging to disregard hurtful words
The words you said when you saw inside
Disassociation from others' perceptions
I am not what you thought of me
Denial of conforming to others' opinions
And I am nothing else but empty
Feeling of emptiness or lack of substance
Break me down to size
Desire to be minimized or reduced
Every block we build
Each obstacle adds to the severity of a potential fall
Makes the height to fall from greater
Increasing difficulties amplify potential consequences
So much
Realization of efforts yielding little reward
For never giving in
Disappointment in the inability to persevere
The fight was lost before it began
Admission of defeat before even starting the struggle
You're still under my skin
Someone's lingering impact despite distance or separation
