In a Perfect World
Navigating Loss and Deception in a Perfect World
Lyrics
there are no happy endings
Without positive resolutions or conclusions.
face of the dead at the end of the tunnel
Confronting death and darkness at the end of life's journey.
always wish to live a wonderful life
Longing for a life full of wonder and joy.
world of loss keeps you grounded
A world characterized by loss, keeping one connected to reality.
I have no idea what this world means to me
Uncertainty about the personal significance of the world.
trust is lost in the shadows of deception
Loss of confidence in the midst of deceitful surroundings.
towering above the rest
Standing prominently above others.
the imminent lies are traced to someone
Unavoidable falsehoods can be traced back to someone.
one day we'll see if life is a stepping stone for something better in this world
Pondering whether life leads to something better in the future.
we're never given a second chance
Denied the opportunity for a second chance in life.
judgement will come
Anticipating judgment for one's actions.
when you cross the line
Consequences when crossing a moral or ethical boundary.
fair or unfair
Questioning the fairness of the outcomes.
we never had a chance
No opportunities given to succeed.
our world came crashing down
Experiencing a sudden and devastating collapse of their world.
we never knew that our fight would be for nothing
Unaware that their struggle would ultimately be in vain.
world came crashing down
The world collapsing without any forewarning.
fight that would be nothing
Fighting for a cause that turns out to be futile.
there are no happy endings
Reiteration of the absence of positive conclusions.
we all are here for nothing
A collective sense of purposelessness.
in a perfect world we're something
In an ideal world, they would have significance.
trust yourself to know we all die
Encouraging self-trust in the face of inevitable mortality.
