The Wretched
Unraveling Despair: The Wretched Reflection of Lost Dreams
Lyrics
Just a reflection
Expressing that what follows is merely a reflection.
Just a glimpse, just a little reminder
A brief glimpse or reminder of unresolved issues.
Of all the what abouts
Referring to unanswered questions or uncertainties.
And all the might have co-co-could have beens
Mentioning missed opportunities or unrealized potentials.
Another day, some other way
Anticipating another day but not necessarily a reason to continue.
But not another reason to continue
Implying a lack of motivation to persist.
And now you're one of us, the wretched (the wretched)
Addressing the listener as part of a group labeled "the wretched," possibly those facing similar struggles.
The hopes and prays
Listing various aspirations and wishes.
The better days
Referring to better days that were hoped for.
The far aways
Mentioning distant or unattainable goals.
Forget it (forget it, forget it)
Discouraging any further consideration or attachment to these thoughts.
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
Highlighting a deviation from desired outcomes.
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?
Reiterating the failure to meet expectations.
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
Emphasizing the disappointment in the results.
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?
Repeating the acknowledgment of unfulfilled desires.
Now you know
Conveying an understanding of the current situation.
This is what it feels like
Describing the experience of the present moment.
Now you know
Reiterating the realization of the current state.
This is what it feels like
Reinforcing the awareness of the prevailing conditions.
The clouds will part and the sky cracks open
Depicting a dramatic change in circumstances, symbolized by the parting clouds and cracking sky.
And God himself will reach his fucking arm through
Introducing a metaphorical intervention by a higher power with negative consequences.
Just to push you down, just to hold you down
Illustrating the forceful suppression or restraint by a higher authority.
Stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss
Describing a dire and unpleasant situation.
And it's hard to believe it could come down to this
Expressing disbelief at the current predicament compared to the initial stages.
Back at the beginning
Reflecting on returning to the starting point.
Sinking, spinning
Conveying a sense of descent and disorientation.
And in the end we still pretend
Acknowledging a continued facade or pretense.
The time we spend, not knowing when
Highlighting the uncertainty of the duration spent without realizing freedom.
You're finally free and you could be
Suggesting the potential for liberation once acknowledged.
But it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
Reiterating the failure to meet expectations.
It didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it
Emphasizing the deviation from desired outcomes.
Now you know
Conveying an understanding of the current situation.
This is what it feels like
Describing the experience of the present moment.
Now you know
Reiterating the realization of the current state.
This is what it feels like
Reinforcing the awareness of the prevailing conditions.
Now you know (now you know)
Reiterating the understanding of the current situation.
This is what it feels like (this is what it feels like)
Describing the experience of the present moment.
Now you know (now you know)
Reiterating the realization of the current state.
This is what it feels like (you can try to stop it but it keeps on coming)
Emphasizing the awareness of the prevailing conditions and the inevitability of challenges.
(You can try to stop it but)
Highlighting the persistence of challenges despite attempts to resist.
