Wax
Metacognate's Melancholic Journey: A Tale of Wax and Redemption
Lyrics
The place where it ended
The location where a certain event concluded
Is cold, dark, and damp
Characterized by being cold, dark, and damp
The ground is thick layers of
The surface consists of thick layers of an unspecified wax-like substance
Some type of wax
Describes the ground's composition
The wind's always blowing
The wind consistently blows from an unknown direction
From out the unknown
The speaker perceives it as pathetic, disgusting, and strangely familiar, like home
It's pathetic, it's disgusting, and
Expresses the emotional experience of the place
It feels like home
Conveys a feeling of comfort or belonging
It's over
Declares that a certain phase or situation has concluded
Over and over and over and over again.
Emphasizes the repetitive nature of the conclusion
Just one more
Expresses a desire for one more instance of the concluded situation
This is, no, this is, no, this is, no
Repetition of denial, rejecting the finality of the concluded event
This is where it ends
Reiterates the location where the event concludes
The place where it started
The place where a certain event originated
Before loss was found
Prior to the discovery of loss, the environment was described as blue, brown, and moonlight-like
Was blue, it was brown, it was
Depicts the colors and atmosphere of the past
Light like the moon
Further description of the past environment
And though I was young then
Reflects on the speaker's youth and the presence of a fog and screaming
There seemed to be a fog, a mist
Describes a feeling of deafness and a mind in turmoil
A screaming and a deafness and
(Empty line, no specific content)
A mind like a hole
Expresses having moved beyond the past for several years
But I've been past it for years now
States a fear of death despite having control
My head should be clear now
Shares a sense of having learned and survived despite potential demise
I have control, and I have a life
Raises doubt about the ability to perceive the speaker's growth
I've got reason to be afraid to die
Questions the impact of the speaker's experiences on others
I feel like I've learned something
(Empty line, no specific content)
Lived through what should've ended me
Questions the observer's ability to recognize the speaker's resilience
But can you even tell?
Raises doubt about the observer's perception of the speaker's experiences
Can you?
Presents a direct question to the observer
And does it even make a difference to you
Questions the significance of the speaker's freedom to the observer
Anyway? Oh, anyway
Expresses uncertainty about the impact on the observer
I am free, but for how long?
Reflects on the speaker's freedom but questions its duration
Lost, and nobody can find me
Describes a state of being lost and untraceable
(Even if I wanted you to)
Expresses the impossibility of being found, even if desired
I've been stuck there
Indicates a prolonged period of being stuck in a certain state
Longer than you can remember me
Claims a longer duration than the observer's ability to remember
As the wax melts, the ground gives way
Metaphorically describes a transformation as wax melts and the ground changes
And I may leave that place
Anticipates leaving the current state or situation
Or slip away
Expresses the possibility of slipping away from the current condition
