7 Blows
Shattered Dreams: Unveiling the Weight of Lost Love and Broken Pursuits
Lyrics
All you’ve ever loved
All the things you have cherished or valued in your life
All you’ve ever bought
All the material possessions you have acquired
All you’ve ever longed for
Everything you've desired or yearned for
Lies here on the ground
Now lies abandoned or discarded on the ground
All you’ve ever loved
Reiteration of the loss of things once loved
All you’ve ever built
The structures and achievements you've built in life
All you’ve ever worked for
All the efforts and labor you've invested
Deadly on the floor
The consequence is deadly or destructive
Now I walk in shadow
The speaker is now in a metaphorical shadow, possibly symbolizing a difficult or dark phase
Feel the weight on my shoulders
Feeling burdened and weighed down emotionally
All you’ve ever loved
Reiteration of the loss of things once loved
All you’ve ever dreamt
Your aspirations or fantasies
All you’ve ever worried about
Concerns and anxieties you've had
Lies here on the earth
All those worries now lie on the earth, possibly indicating insignificance
They say it’s all right
Others reassure that everything will be fine
They say it’ll pass
Assurances that the difficult situation will eventually pass
They say you just talk your way through
Suggestions to talk your way through problems
But they don’t see this tunnel holds only the dark
The speaker perceives a tunnel with only darkness, suggesting a challenging path
Now I walk in shadow
Continuation of the metaphorical shadow, emphasizing a challenging journey
Feel the weight on my shoulders
Feeling the pressure and responsibility on the speaker's shoulders
As I stare at the silver
Observing or contemplating something silver, possibly representing hope or reflection
Feel low
Experiencing a low emotional state
Can you feel
An inquiry into whether others can feel a certain emotion
Can you feel it
Repetition of the question, emphasizing the importance of sensing
Smell the deep, green fear
Suggesting the presence of a profound, green fear
Fear is an invisible mountain
Fear is portrayed as an invisible obstacle or challenge
Standing between you and your potential
Fear prevents one from realizing their full potential
Reach out for the clouds
Encouragement to reach for ambitious goals represented by clouds
And tear it all down
Advocating for breaking down obstacles and challenges
Tear it to the ground
A call to dismantle and destroy hindrances
Start running running running running
An urge to start running, possibly towards a new beginning or overcoming challenges
