That Divide
Navigating Life's Divide: Molly Parmenter's Reflective Journey
Lyrics
Life is a series of events
Life is a sequence of experiences and occurrences.
But everything is happening at once
Despite the chronological order, events seem to happen simultaneously.
Time keeps track of the present and the past
Time keeps a record of the present and past moments.
So we can look back on the things we've done
Reflection on past actions is facilitated by time.
Most will take the wrong path always looking for distraction
Many people consistently choose the wrong path, seeking distractions.
From that feeling that there could be something more
There's a persistent sense that there might be something more fulfilling.
That divide
A reference to a divisive element or situation.
It grows and grows
This divisive element intensifies and expands.
That divide
Reiteration of the growth and expansion of the divisive factor.
It grows and grows
Emphasizing the ongoing and increasing division.
It's not that I don't need it anymore
Expressing a shift in personal needs, not a complete abandonment.
It's just that I don't know how to bleed anymore
Difficulty in expressing or dealing with emotional pain.
All's fair in love and war but what are you fighting for
Questioning the purpose and justification of conflicts in love and war.
When victory will leave you all alone
Winning may lead to isolation and loneliness.
Fear exists inside and there's nowhere you can hide
Fear is an internal experience with no escape when the truth emerges.
From the truth when it wants to come out
The truth emerges inevitably and cannot be avoided.
Everything you give is everything you'll get
What you give in life is directly proportional to what you receive.
The circle of our lives goes round and round
Life's experiences repeat in a circular manner.
That divide
Reiteration of the growing and expanding division.
It grows and grows
Highlighting the continuous and escalating division.
That divide
Continued emphasis on the increasing division.
It grows and grows
Reiterating the intensification and growth of the divisive element.
It's not that I don't need it anymore
A nuanced statement about changing needs, not complete detachment.
It's just that I don't know how to bleed anymore
Difficulty in expressing or coping with emotional pain, repeated from line 12.
It's not that I don't need it anymore
Similar to line 11, expressing a change in personal needs.
It's just that I don't know if I can bleed anymore
Repeating the difficulty in expressing or dealing with emotional pain.
