Translucent Lines
Transcending Pain: Matthew McDonald's Poetic Reflections
Lyrics
I think I might wind down
I contemplate slowing down or relaxing.
I think I like wine now
I am developing a liking for wine.
Cause it's the only thing that helps me see everything in front of me
Wine helps me gain clarity and perspective on what's ahead.
I think it's my time now
I believe it's my moment or opportunity now.
Because I feel down and couldn't get up But I'm doing fine now
I previously felt down, but now I am doing well.
It's time that things start looking up
It's time for things to improve in my life.
Cause this old world will be the death of me wait and see I bet I'll be lying here for weeks before anybody finds me and they will cry they will try and shield their eyes but the pain is hidden behind these Translucent Lines
The speaker anticipates a difficult future, expressing the struggle with pain and hidden emotions depicted by "Translucent Lines."
I think that I hurt them
The speaker acknowledges causing harm to others.
But it was only words I spoke
The harm inflicted was through spoken words.
They didn't deserve them but everybody's always at my throat
Others may not have deserved the hurtful words, but the speaker feels consistently criticized.
But there doing fine now
The people affected by the speaker's words are currently doing well.
It's their time that things start looking up
It's time for those affected to experience positive changes.
And I'm doing fine now
The speaker is now in a better emotional state.
It's time that I stop giving a fuck
The speaker decides to stop caring about others' opinions.
Cause this old world will be the death of me wait and see I bet I'll be lying here for weeks before anybody finds me and they will cry they will try and shield their eyes but the pain is hidden behind these Translucent Lines
Reiteration of the speaker's anticipation of a challenging future and the pain hidden behind "Translucent Lines."
Just screaming I'm fine
The speaker insists they are fine, possibly concealing true emotions.
These Translucent Lines
Repetition of the idea that the pain is concealed by "Translucent Lines."
And they know I'm not fine
Others recognize that the speaker is not fine.
So why do they say I'm fine
Despite evidence, people falsely claim the speaker is fine.
This old world will be the death of me wait and see I bet I'll be lying here for weeks before anybody finds me and they will cry they will say I lived my life always trying to hide behind these Translucent Lines (why do the say I'm fine) just screaming I'm fine (why do they say I'm fine) these Translucent Lines
Final repetition of the anticipation of a challenging future and the speaker's attempt to hide behind "Translucent Lines."
