Apathy
Navigating Apathy: Embracing Change and Confronting Choices
Lyrics
Change, always change
Expressing the constant nature of change
I've been through all my thoughts trying to erase
Reflecting on attempts to eliminate or forget certain thoughts
Names, always names to find
Emphasizing the prevalence of names to identify and understand
I know if I had the option I'd choose rewind
Expressing a desire to go back in time if given the option
But if you try, then I'll try
Encouraging mutual effort or initiative
And if you lie, then I'll lie
Suggesting a willingness to reciprocate dishonesty
Count the hours, avoid your fate
Advising to keep track of time and avoid a predetermined destiny
Apathy with night and day
Associating apathy with both day and night
Killing yourself or killing time
Presenting a choice between self-destruction and wasting time
You'll be yours and I'll be mine
Asserting individuality and self-possession
Count the hours, avoid your fate
Reiterating the importance of avoiding a predetermined fate
Apathy with night and day
Repeating the association of apathy with both day and night
Killing yourself or killing time
Reiterating the choice between self-destruction and wasting time
You'll be yours and I'll be mine
Reaffirming individual autonomy
Your world, it's a minefield
Describing the world as a dangerous place full of risks
You've avoided far too many now your future's sealed
Highlighting the consequences of avoiding challenges
Love, it's so human don't you know
Acknowledging the human nature of love
But it could never, never live through you
Positing that love cannot survive through an individual
But if you try, then I'll try
Encouraging joint effort or commitment
And if you cry, then I'll lie
Linking crying with dishonesty or deception
Count the hours, avoid your fate
Reiterating the importance of avoiding a predetermined destiny
Apathy with night and day
Repeating the association of apathy with both day and night
Killing yourself or killing time
Reiterating the choice between self-destruction and wasting time
You'll be yours and I'll be mine
Emphasizing individual possession of oneself
Count the hours, avoid your fate
Stressing the importance of avoiding a predetermined fate
Apathy with night and day
Repeating the association of apathy with both day and night
Killing yourself or killing time
Reiterating the choice between self-destruction and wasting time
You'll be yours and I'll be mine
Reaffirming individual autonomy
Abuse your powers, insult your friends
Advising against the misuse of power and the alienation of friends
A recipe for how it ends
Describing a destructive outcome resulting from certain actions
Borrowing time from yesterday
Highlighting the ineffectiveness of borrowing time from the past
It doesn't help your mind's decay
Indicating that borrowing time doesn't prevent mental deterioration
Believe in someone to make it real
Encouraging belief in someone to validate emotions
So you can prove that you can feel
Expressing the need to prove the capacity for emotion
A year went past and it's too late
Highlighting the irreversible nature of time
No one could stop your life of hate
Indicating a life dominated by hatred with no external intervention
