Lyrics
I'll try to live with a little dignity
I will attempt to maintain my self-respect and honor.
A kind of dignity you taught me
This specific dignity was imparted to me by you.
That while mistakes are made again and again
Despite the recurrence of mistakes, there is a glimmer of hope.
Somewhere, someplace there's an ember
There exists a small, enduring source of warmth or hope.
I drove the car over the border
I crossed the border in a car, distancing myself from familiarity.
Where no-one knew me from the next man
Arriving where I was unknown, indistinguishable from others.
And in this world where days bled into one another
In a world where time seems to blur together, I confronted my inner struggles.
I faced my shadows
Facing and acknowledging my own personal demons.
I Think The World Is Ending
Expressing a belief or realization that the world is coming to an end.
Although I fixed myself
Despite attempts at self-repair, a lasting wound persists.
As Best I Could
Addressing self-improvement efforts to the best of one's ability.
My loyal wound will burn forever
The enduring pain or damage will persist indefinitely.
It's even worse for you
Suggesting that the situation is even more challenging for someone else.
Look Outside, The World Is Ending
Observation of a dire situation: the world is collapsing.
I'll try to live with a little dignity
Reiteration of the commitment to maintain self-respect.
A kind of dignity you taught me
Recalling the dignity instilled by the other person.
That while mistakes are made again and again
Acknowledging the inevitability of repeated mistakes.
Somewhere, someplace there's an ember
Belief in the existence of a small, enduring source of warmth or hope.
