Lyrics

What did you plan?

Asking about premeditated plans or intentions.

What did you anticipate?

Questioning expectations or foresight.

All you demand to find

Referring to the search for everything demanded.

Spiraling down, falling behind

Describing a decline or setback.

Expressing the absence of a future.

When you're ahead of your time

Being ahead of one's time, possibly in a disruptive way.

What did you want to know?

Asking about the desired knowledge.

How does it end? How does it go?

Questioning the outcome and progression.


From the bottom I fled

Recounting a retreat from the lowest point.

But the stars overhead

Referencing celestial bodies and seeking awakening.

Let me awake from the ruin

Expressing a desire to emerge from destruction.

I must say that I was a wreck

Admitting personal turmoil or chaos.

Hit the bottom I guess

Acknowledging hitting rock bottom.

But the words you once said

Recalling impactful past words.

Let me awake from the ruin

Expressing a wish to recover from ruin.

Second sign up ahead

Signifying a potential warning or indication.


I couldn't withstand

Unable to endure or resist.

I couldn't anticipate

Unable to foresee or predict.

How low I would go

Reflecting on a significant decline.

What did I miss?

Pondering what was overlooked.

I didn't know, I didn't know

Admitting lack of knowledge or awareness.

Now what do you anticipate?

Asking about future expectations.

Another catastrophe

Expecting another disastrous event.

Coming around, following me

Describing a recurrence or pursuit of negativity.


From the bottom I fled

Reiterating a retreat from the lowest point.

But the stars overhead

Referencing celestial bodies and seeking awakening.

Let me awake from the ruin

Expressing a desire to emerge from destruction.

I must say that I was a wreck

Admitting personal turmoil or chaos.

Hit the bottom I guess

Acknowledging hitting rock bottom.

But the words you once said

Recalling impactful past words.

Let me awake from the ruin

Expressing a wish to recover from ruin.

Second sign up ahead

Signifying a potential warning or indication.
