No Easy Action
Vanishing Places: The Unspoken Poetry of Existence
Lyrics
When all is done and turned to dust
Reflecting on the end of things, when everything has turned to dust.
And insects nest inside my bones, I see
Feeling a sense of decay or deterioration within oneself, likened to insects nesting inside.
I stagger in a daze outside my tent
Feeling disoriented or confused, possibly after a challenging experience.
No time for being alone
No time to spend in solitude or isolation.
To bleed
To suffer or experience emotional pain.
The hopeless singing of a round
Describing a feeling of hopelessness or despair.
That much we know to do
Recognizing a familiar pattern of behavior or action.
Before we go back underground
Before returning to a state of being buried or hidden.
No easy action
Highlighting that the situation is not simple or straightforward.
Sparks fill the air some nights
Occurrences or moments of excitement or energy in certain nights.
Crows look for food behind my skin
A metaphorical description of feeling emotionally exposed or vulnerable.
Beneath
Underneath or below.
Try our best to dig it in
Attempting to bury or hide something, possibly emotions, and shield oneself.
And keep the cold away, I see
Trying to protect oneself from emotional coldness or detachment.
That the sky is a vanishing place
Observing that the sky, a symbol of vastness or possibilities, is disappearing.
And then there's nothing to miss
Implying that once everything is gone, there's nothing left to feel nostalgic about or miss.
No time to get out of the ice
Feeling trapped or constrained, without an opportunity to escape.
No easy action
Emphasizing the absence of a straightforward or simple course of action.
Although all else may turn to dust
Reiterating the idea of everything disintegrating or fading away.
And insects nest inside my bones, I see
Repeating the feeling of inner decay or decline, likened to insects within.
I stagger in a daze to find what you meant
Struggling to comprehend or make sense of someone else's intentions or words.
Where it's good to be alone
Feeling comfort or solace in being by oneself.
Bleed
To suffer or experience emotional pain.
The hopeless singing of a round
Describing a feeling of hopelessness or despair.
Before that vanishing place
Before reaching that disappearing or diminishing place.
Before we're back underground
Before returning to a hidden or buried state.
No easy action
Emphasizing again the absence of an easy or straightforward action.
