M.I.A.
Lost in Eternity: Reflections on Life's Fleeting Moments
Lyrics
There's not enough
Expressing a sense of lack or insufficiency
There's not enough
Repetition emphasizes the feeling of scarcity
There's not enough
Continuation of the theme of inadequacy
There's not enough time in eternity
Reflection on the limited nature of time
Am I accomplishing nothing through insignificant rushing
Questioning the value of hurried actions and their impact
And now I'm questioning
Expressing doubt or uncertainty
How many times must we bare the burden
Addressing the burden or challenges faced repeatedly
I know I'm nothing beyond ordinary
Acknowledging a sense of ordinariness or mediocrity
I long for something to make me feel more than temporary
Desire for something more lasting and significant
And I will find myself one way or another
Determination to discover one's true self
I hope that time lends some strength or a savior
Hope for strength or salvation over time
Or maybe I'll misdirect myself to believe that I'm someone else
Contemplating self-deception or adopting a different identity
Or will I leave it all behind
Contemplating leaving everything behind
Am I a casualty, another runaway
Questioning if the speaker is a victim or a runaway
Disappeared or strayed away, misplaced, either way I'm MIA
Emphasizing the speaker's absence, being Missing In Action (MIA)
I'm known to dissipate, I might disintegrate
Expressing a tendency to disappear or disintegrate
Decay or fade away, evaporate, either way I'm MIA
Highlighting the inevitability of decay or disappearance
I'm failing myself
Acknowledging personal failure or shortcomings
All of the hope is burned away in this hell
All hope is lost in a challenging situation
Am I a casualty, another runaway
Reiteration of being a casualty or runaway
Agony
Expressing intense emotional pain or distress
Am I sadly mistaken or is this prospect forsaken
Questioning the accuracy of perceptions or the abandonment of hope
What's there to show for the lives that were taken
Reflecting on the lack of tangible results for lost lives
Riddled with sin, I writhe in my skin
Feeling tormented by inner struggles or guilt
I'm riddled with sin, consumed by the thoughts within
Intense internal conflict and self-destructive thoughts
Am I a casualty, another runaway
Reiteration of being a casualty or runaway
Disappeared or strayed away, misplaced, either way I'm MIA
Emphasizing the speaker's absence, being Missing In Action (MIA)
And I will find myself one way or another
Determination to rediscover oneself
I hope that time lends some strength or a savior
Hope for strength or salvation over time
Or maybe I'll misdirect myself to believe that I'm someone else
Contemplating self-deception or adopting a different identity
Or will I leave it all behind
Contemplating leaving everything behind
Leave it all behind
Stressing the decision to leave everything behind
A couple days, a few years
Considering a timeframe for departure and escape
Maybe then I'll be gone from this place
Expressing a desire to be free from the current situation
Any time, anywhere
Emphasizing the inability to escape personal fears
I can run away, but won't escape my fears
Acceptance that running away won't eliminate inner fears
My fears
Reiteration of the persistent presence of fears
Any time, anywhere
Emphasizing the inability to escape personal fears
I can run away, but won't escape my head
Acceptance that running away won't eliminate inner fears
