Terminal Condition
Navigating Digital Despair: Phantom Bay's Terminal Condition
Lyrics
Hard to speak comforting words when you lack a spine
Expressing difficulty in offering reassuring words when lacking courage or conviction
Hard to think unclouded thoughts when you're online
Struggling to maintain clear thoughts while immersed in online activities
And you smile
Despite difficulties, putting on a facade of happiness
We both know that we're caught in a cage where all aims go to die
Feeling trapped in a situation where aspirations and goals seem futile
Start a fire
Advocating for rebellion or defiance
Block the hose
Interfering with the means to control or stop a situation
Keep it burning
Encouraging the persistence of a rebellious act
Keep reversing
Suggesting a cyclical pattern of actions
Skip procedures
Disregarding established protocols or steps
Start a war
Provoking conflict or starting a confrontation
Keep the lights out in a life that I long to escape
Desiring to escape from a dark or unpleasant existence
I want out
Expressing a strong desire to break free from the current situation
I want further up the chain
Aspiring for higher status or advancement
Keep your guard up, hopes down low
Advising to remain cautious and not expect too much
Message flawed
Noting a flaw in communication or the conveyed message
Flood all systems
Overwhelming all systems or aspects
Hold your posture
Encouraging maintaining a composed demeanor despite instability
Precarious thing
Highlighting the fragility of the situation
Learned a lot about who to listen to
Learning to discern reliable sources but failing to recognize an incurable situation
But I fail to see it's a terminal condition
Realizing that the situation is irreversible and terminal
Little sisters and me. It's a drag on mere existence that I long to escape
Expressing the burden of existence and the desire to escape it
Only closure that I yearn to attain
Seeking only the resolution or closure desired
And I long to ignore
Longing to disregard or overlook a particular aspect
That's a lesson coming easy
Indicating the ease of learning from a painful lesson
We're both so full of dissent
Both parties overwhelmed by disagreement and discontent
And we don't know how to handle it
Admitting the inability to handle the discord
Spelling out all of our distaste
Expressing disdain or dislike explicitly
By the time we die, we've died alone
Highlighting the inevitable isolation experienced at the end of life
