Lyrics

And I doubt you, the first time I let it go

Expressing skepticism or disbelief towards someone for the first time.

You say virtue but animals are all we know

Highlighting a contrast between the concept of virtue and the primal nature of animals.

I've seen my last breath that I will take

Reflecting on the inevitability of one's final breath.

And seas will rise but it's a shame to go that way

Anticipating challenges (seas rising) but expressing a reluctance to face them in a particular way.


And how far we've come too late

Acknowledging the progress that has been made, but recognizing it's too late to fully appreciate it.

And how much we've grown so slow

Noting gradual growth over time.

And I know I know that we will turn to dust

Accepting the impermanence of life and the eventual transformation into dust.

I'll hold my head up straight spine

Committing to maintaining resilience and a strong stance.

And pray we'll be just fine

Expressing hope and a prayer for a positive outcome.


My body's breaking

Describing physical and emotional breakdown.

Breaking from the inside out

Highlighting the internal source of the breaking.

My structures shaking

Conveying the instability of personal structures, especially after experiencing doubt.

Shaking since we tasted doubt

Linking the shaking to the introduction of doubt in their life.

So leave me here

Expressing a desire to be left alone to cope with challenges.

To play my victim card

Embracing a victim mentality as a coping mechanism.

I'll be right here alone

Asserting independence by choosing to be alone in difficult times.


And how far we've come too late

Reiterating the acknowledgment of progress coming too late.

And how much we've grown so slow

Reemphasizing slow growth over time.

And I know I know that we will turn to dust

Reaffirming the acceptance of the eventual transformation into dust.

I'll hold my head up straight spine

Restating the commitment to resilience and a strong stance.

And pray we'll be just fine

Repeating the expression of hope and a prayer for a positive outcome.


Time it keeps running down

Highlighting the unstoppable passage of time.

The world keeps spinning round

Observing the constant and cyclical nature of the world.


Time it keeps running down

Reiterating the relentless progression of time.

The world keeps spinning round

Reaffirming the perpetual cycle of the world's existence.


How far we've come too late

Echoing the sentiment of acknowledging progress coming too late.

And how much we've grown so slow

Reemphasizing the theme of slow, gradual growth.

And I know I know machines will turn to rush

Anticipating a shift to a mechanized and rushed state, possibly referring to societal changes.

Let's hold our heads up straight spine

Encouraging maintaining resilience and a strong stance amid changes.

And pray we'll be just fine

Repeating the expression of hope and a prayer for a positive outcome.
