Needle
Searching for Salvation: Needle's Tale of Hope and Desperation
Lyrics
Dream wives pushing up their prices
Dream wives are seeking higher value, despite a declining demand for their role or presence.
Even though it's a dying trade
Despite its decline, these individuals remain committed to their position or occupation.
Cool hands sticking to their guns
Calm and composed individuals are staying true to their beliefs or positions.
Hoping it'll keep them safe
Hoping that their convictions will protect them.
They're eyeing off each other
They are observing each other closely.
Hoping to discover the only needle in the hay
Seeking something unique or extraordinary in a situation full of possibilities.
But the sun's gone down and they're feeling around
As night falls, they search desperately.
With palms stretched open skimming the ground
Trying to find something valuable with open hands brushing the ground.
I was hoping that things were better since we're all so clever
Expecting improvement due to intelligence or knowledge.
Quick cash filling up the pockets
Quick money enriching uninteresting individuals.
Of the most boring men in the room
Insignificant men benefiting from these gains.
Red lips, the promise of kisses
Attractive appearances hinting at romantic promises.
Whisper sweet nothingness
Speaking charming but insincere words.
They're eyeing off each other
Observing each other keenly again.
Hoping to discover the only needle in the hay
Searching for something exceptional amidst uncertainty.
But the sun's gone down and they're feeling around
Frantically searching as daylight diminishes.
With palms stretched open skimming the ground
Desperately seeking with open hands near the ground.
And you're sitting high above it
You're detached from the situation, comfortably commenting.
Modern comfort is always having something to say
Having an opinion in the modern world is constant.
And a million artists have come to this in the past years
Countless artists have faced similar situations, tired but still persevering.
Tired and hungry, laughing through tears
Exhausted and starving, yet finding amusement in difficult circumstances.
I was hoping that we'd feel better since we're all so clever
Anticipating improvement due to intelligence or knowledge.
You look better in the spring
You appear more vibrant and alive during springtime.
The violence, play the rite of it
The intensity of conflict or aggression is part of the performance.
I see you, ever considering
Always contemplating and weighing options.
Packing up your things and driving into the sea?
Considering leaving everything behind and embracing the unknown.
We're eyeing off each other
People are watching each other closely once more.
Hoping to discover the only needle in the hay
Seeking something unique amidst uncertainty.
But the sun's gone down and we're feeling around
Desperately searching as daylight diminishes.
With arms stretched open skimming the ground
Frantically searching with outstretched arms near the ground.
I was hoping that things were better
Anticipating improvement due to intelligence or knowledge.
And I was hoping that things were better
Hopeful for improvement in a situation.
I was hoping that things were better since we're all so clever
Expecting better circumstances due to intelligence or knowledge.
