When The Avalanche Comes
Navigating Life's Avalanche: A Song of Resilience by Matt Costa
Lyrics
Who is it that walks all alone
Reflecting on an individual walking alone.
Among the ancient trail of thrones
Contemplating a path of historical significance or authority.
When the avalanche comes
Anticipating a significant and overwhelming event (avalanche).
I'm gonna be your friend all the way down
Expressing commitment to be supportive during challenging times.
You might have tried to leave your past
Suggesting attempts to distance oneself from past experiences.
Just remember it's all part of the path
Encouraging acceptance of the past as an integral part of the journey.
When your bones are earthquakes
Metaphorically portraying intense emotional moments (bones as earthquakes).
I'm gonna be the one to calm you down
Committing to providing comfort during challenging emotional times.
You can make it but don't ask why
Encouraging perseverance without questioning the challenges.
Some live and some fall and some die
Acknowledging the unpredictability of life outcomes.
I can tell you the answer
Claiming knowledge or insight into life's mysteries.
The day the avalanche comes
Highlighting a specific moment of impact or revelation.
When the avalanche comes
Reiterating the anticipation and impact of the avalanche.
You gotta be the one to dig it out
Emphasizing the need for self-reliance and problem-solving.
Who is it that takes all the blame
Questioning responsibility and accountability during difficult times.
Is it always someone the same
Exploring the tendency to attribute blame to a familiar source.
When you're walking away
Describing a departure or distancing from a situation.
You heard it blowing through the trees
Noticing natural signs or warnings, possibly of impending challenges.
Echoing when you turned to see
Recalling sounds associated with the approaching avalanche.
The avalanche come
Confirming the arrival of the avalanche and personal culpability.
I was the one the one who let you down
Accepting responsibility for contributing to the challenging situation.
You can make it but don't ask why
Encouraging resilience without dwelling on the reasons for challenges.
Some live and some fall and some die
Acknowledging the varied outcomes in life.
I can tell you the answer
Claiming to possess answers to life's uncertainties.
The day the avalanche comes
Reiterating the impact and significance of the avalanche.
When the avalanche comes
Emphasizing the personal responsibility to overcome challenges.
You gotta be the one to dig it out
Stressing the need for self-initiated resolution and recovery.
When the avalanche comes
Repeating the imminent and impactful nature of the approaching avalanche.
