Something Pretending
Unveiling Life's Illusions
Lyrics
There's something pretending
There is an unidentified entity or concept pretending or masquerading.
Keeps following our whole life
This pretending force persistently follows us throughout our entire life.
There are some things descending
Some things are descending, moving down into the deepest parts of our minds.
Into the deepest abyss of our minds
This descent is into the profound abyss of our thoughts.
Near to far and skin to scar
From near to far and on the surface to scars, symbolizing life's journey and its impact.
Rise and descend - where life begins and ends
Life involves rising and descending, representing the cycle from birth to death.
There are some ones defending
There are individuals who defend, continuously fighting throughout their lives.
Keep fighting all their lives
These defenders persist in their struggles for a lifetime.
There's something avenging
There is a retaliatory force for things unknown at the moment.
For things we don't even know this time
This avenging force acts on behalf of things not understood in the current circumstances.
Like an everlasting slide to the day we die
Life is depicted as an everlasting slide leading to the inevitable day of death.
It's a raindrop we call life
Life is compared to a raindrop, a brief and fragile existence.
Downward all the time
The constant direction of life is downward.
There's something pretending
The pretending continues, now without a recognizable face, concealed behind a humorous disguise.
No face, just a hilarious disguise
This pretending force lacks a distinct identity, hidden behind a facetious facade.
There's nothing ascending
There is nothing ascending from the depths where everyone is destined to die.
From the depths where we're all going to die
The inexorable destination for all is the deep abyss leading to death.
Like an everlasting slide to the day we die
Similar to earlier lines, life is portrayed as an everlasting slide towards death.
It's a raindrop we call life
Life is reiterated as a raindrop, persistently moving downward.
Downward all the time
Reemphasizing the constant downward trajectory of life.
So we cry it out smash it to the ground
Expressing frustration and despair, crying out and smashing things to the ground.
This seems to be just like adams fall
A comparison to "adams fall" suggests a parallel to the biblical story of Adam and the consequences of disobedience.
So we cry it out scream and shriek and shout
Continuing the expression of frustration through crying out, screaming, and shouting.
It makes no change to it after all
No matter the expression, it seems to have no effect or change on the situation.
Like an everlasting slide to the day we die
Repetition of the metaphor of life as an everlasting slide towards death.
It's a raindrop we call life
Reiteration of life as a raindrop, persistently moving downward.
Downward all the time
Final emphasis on the unchanging, continuous descent of life.
