Lyrics
The way I see it you must be blind
The speaker believes the listener is unable to perceive things accurately.
But can you spare a dime?
Asking for money, perhaps indicating desperation or need.
Can't you see your son is in too deep
Implying that someone close is in serious trouble or danger.
Burning in the final sleep
Suggesting an irreversible, fatal outcome, possibly death.
Wide awake for ninety nine hours
Hyperbolic description of being awake for an extended period.
No sleep tonight
Confirmation of sleeplessness, perhaps due to anxiety or urgency.
He'll be pushing up flowers
Imagery of death, likely indicating an imminent demise.
Second chance he'll never get
Implying missed opportunities or chances for redemption.
A special high for blazes, burn
Suggesting a thrilling or intense experience leading to destruction.
Left behind
Feeling abandoned or neglected.
Left and right
Indicating confusion or disorientation.
No end in sight
Reinforcing the idea of an endless, repetitive cycle of abandonment and confusion.
No end in sight
-Let behind
-Left and right
-No end in sight
-No end in sight
-Running frantic without a clue
Frantic and aimless actions without direction.
In the sand looking straight at you
Directly confronting a situation or person.
Nothing straight, the world goes around
Emphasizing the unpredictable nature of life.
No one's safe until they're deep in the ground
Implying vulnerability and mortality for everyone.
Shot in the back, stopped in your tracks
Being unexpectedly hindered or betrayed.
The shifting sands coming over us
Describing an overwhelming or suffocating situation.
A second chance he hasn't got
Reiterating the lack of opportunities for redemption.
It all boils down and turned around
Summarizing or simplifying a complex situation.
Left behind
Repetition emphasizing the ongoing, never-ending nature of feeling abandoned and directionless.
Left and right
-No end in sight
-No end in sight
-Left Behind
-Left and right
-No end in sight
-No end in sight
-There's so many times I couldn't bear to watch
Witnessing repetitive and unbearable situations.
Witness the boredom of you thinking all soft
Observing someone else's dull or uninspired thinking.
He left his mark, he left you blind
Someone or something leaving a lasting impact but blinding others to the truth.
Chasing the dream, left sleep behind
Choosing ambition over rest, sacrificing sleep for a goal.
Left behind
Continued repetition of feeling abandoned and directionless.
Left and Right
-No end in sight
-No end in sight
-Left behind
-Left and right
-No end in sight
-No end in sight
-No end in sight
Final confirmation of the endless, hopeless cycle.
No end in sight
