So Why So Sad
Embracing Life's Echoes: Manic Street Preachers' Melancholic Reflection
Lyrics
Things get clear when I feel free
Clarity emerges when I experience freedom.
When whatever's next, comes easily
Easy flow accompanies whatever comes next.
When gentle hands give life to me
Life is bestowed upon me by gentle hands.
When your eyes fill with tiny tears
Your eyes welling up with small tears.
When I'm this still you are my life (when I'm this still you are my life)
During moments of stillness, you are my life.
So at ease in the midnight sky (so at ease in the midnight sky)
Comfortable and relaxed in the midnight sky.
But my insides will look like war (my insides will look like war)
Internally, I undergo a metaphorical war.
Paralyzed except through my thought
Paralyzed physically but active in thought.
So why so sad
Questioning the reason for profound sadness.
You live and you love
Living and loving are inherent aspects of life.
So why so sad
Reiterating the query about excessive sadness.
Dependent on all above
Dependence on factors above contributes to the sadness.
Searching for the Dead Sea scrolls
Actively seeking profound knowledge or meaning.
So why, so why so sad
Repeating the questioning of intense sadness.
My smile as real as a hyena's (my smile as real as a hyena's)
Comparing a genuine smile to that of a hyena.
Burns an expressway to my skull (burns an expressway to my skull)
Intense emotions create mental pathways.
But I'll stick myself together again
Despite challenges, rebuilding oneself is possible.
Spirit so low that I no longer pretend
Acknowledging a low spirit and abandoning pretense.
So why so sad
Reiterating the inquiry into the cause of sadness.
You live and you love
Emphasizing the inherent aspects of living and loving.
So why so sad
Posing the question again about profound sadness.
Dependent on all above
Dependence on external factors contributes to the sadness.
Searching for the Dead Sea scrolls
Continuing the quest for deep knowledge or understanding.
So why, so why so sad
Repeating the question about intense sadness.
So why so sad
Reiterating the inherent nature of living and loving.
You live and you love
Asking once again about the cause of profound sadness.
So why so sad
Dependency on external factors contributes to the sadness.
Dependent on all above
Continuing the search for profound knowledge or meaning.
Searching for the Dead Sea scrolls
Repeating the question about intense sadness.
So why, so why so sad
Emphasizing the persistence of the inquiry into sadness.
So why, so why so sad
Repeating the inquiry into the cause of sadness.
So why, so why so sad
Reiterating the persistent questioning of profound sadness.
