Epitaph
Breaking Chains: Unveiling the Depths of Despair in Past The Fall's 'Epitaph'
Lyrics
I'm waiting, patient in line
I am patiently waiting in line.
I get the scraps form the table
I receive only the leftovers from the table.
It don't fill this void inside
Despite this, it doesn't fill the emptiness within me.
All I see is
All I perceive is...
I'm slowly rotting playing for nothing, playing pretend
I am decaying slowly, engaging in meaningless activities, pretending.
Is this all that it can be?
Is this the extent of what life can offer?
They're faking, ignoring the lie
Others are pretending, ignoring the truth.
All we're good for's parasites
We are only valued as parasites.
We help make live what needs to die
We contribute to sustaining what should naturally end.
Fuck this system of broken dreams
Expressing frustration with a system of shattered dreams.
That prays upon my hope
This system preys on my hope.
The blueprint faded, shallow jaded
The original plan has faded, leaving a cynical outlook.
Let it go the epitaph reads dead
Letting go, the epitaph declares death.
We break these chains off you forever
We are breaking free from these chains permanently.
Light up the fire lets burn together
Igniting a fire to burn together.
Now we're here
Now that we are here...
I won't fall into this grave
I refuse to fall into this metaphorical grave.
It won't kill me
This situation won't destroy me.
Rescinding, back to the fire
Withdrawing, returning to the challenges.
Burning hopeless reveals my focus
Burning hopelessness reveals my true focus.
Strength is honesty
Strength lies in honesty.
All I see is
All I see is...
I've had enough I've paid my time in a dead dreams grime
I've had enough, paid my dues in the grime of failed dreams.
The story's over and no one cares
The story is over, and no one cares.
Who cares? No one cares
Who cares? No one cares.
Who cares? No one
Who cares? No one.
