Lessening Mercies
Beyond Mercies: Unveiling Life's Striking Paradoxes
Lyrics
Your strange fascination with the obvious
Your peculiar attraction to the obvious.
Makes you as startling as a window.
This makes you stand out as much as a window.
Your keen sense of being oblivious
Your sharp ability to be unaware.
Shows that you've nothing to hide.
Indicates transparency or lack of secrets.
From what I became, to what I'll become,
Reflecting on past, present, and future self.
To what I once was, having seen some.
Recalling the experiences that shaped identity.
I went over the salt that's combined between us.
Overcoming challenges or conflicts between individuals.
From up there all you see is clouds.
Viewing life from a higher perspective.
That might be bad.
Uncertain outcomes, potential negativity.
Nothing like bliss.
Contrasting with bliss, suggesting hardship.
After the aging's done, wonder how much I'd miss?
Contemplating the value of life as one ages.
To live beyond the ever lessening mercies of others.
To exist beyond diminishing kindness from others.
The shoulders that look our way; they scream out; try solitude.
Advice to seek solitude when faced with judgment.
The piss whores in the newsroom
Reference to untrustworthy individuals in media.
Got a knack for starting fires.
Capable of causing trouble or conflict.
They'll cut out your heart with a chainsaw
Extreme actions and betrayal by those in power.
And shit it out over the wires.
Metaphorical degradation and dissemination of trust.
That might be bad.
Reiteration of potential negativity.
Nothing like bliss.
Reinforcing the contrast with blissful ignorance.
After the aging's done, wonder how much I'd miss?
Continued reflection on aging and life's value.
To live beyond the ever lessening mercies of others.
Desire to live independently from diminishing kindness.
The shoulders that look our way; they scream out; try solitude.
Advice to face judgment by embracing solitude.
When the helping hands reach out, and take hold of the pillow that smothers.
Mention of rejecting help and embracing suffering.
Heaven help us all who understand.
Expressing the challenge of understanding suffering.
Shiny's making it good - every promise made.
Positive influence (Shiny) fulfilling promises.
Shiny's making it good - with the lives he saved.
Continued positive impact of Shiny's actions.
I don't want to be here when it goes down.
Reluctance to witness or be part of impending chaos.
When it all goes down.
A general reference to a significant event or downfall.
When it all goes down.
Anticipation of a significant event or crisis.
