Times
Navigating Turbulent Epochs: Plastique Noir's Reflection on the Bordering Times
Lyrics
We have been living in the bordering times
We've been existing during uncertain and transitional periods.
as we pretend the worst of those have gone
Despite believing that the worst times are over, we acknowledge their persistence.
We have been living in the bordering times
Similar to line 1, reiterating the sense of living amidst transitional phases.
From the Kali Yuga we're on the run
Referencing the Kali Yuga, an epoch of discord and turmoil in Hindu cosmology, suggesting a feeling of fleeing from such distressing times.
From the Yuga we're on the run
A repetition emphasizing the escape or avoidance from the distress of the Yuga.
They might try to crucify me
An anticipation of facing criticism or persecution.
but I won't even be found
There's an implication of not succumbing to the pressures or being difficult to locate or control.
I'm no longer blind
Reaching a state of awareness or enlightenment, no longer oblivious.
Six times I may fall to the ground
Acknowledging the possibility of failure but emphasizing resilience despite it.
but I'm going to stand up seven times
A determination to persist despite challenges and setbacks.
We have been living in the bordering times
Repetition of the living conditions in transitional times.
as we pretend the worst of those have gone
Similar to line 2, acknowledging the persistence of difficult times despite hopeful beliefs.
We have been living in the bordering times
Reiteration of existing amidst transitional phases.
From the Kali Yuga we're on the run
A reference to escaping or avoiding the chaos and turmoil symbolized by the Kali Yuga.
From the Yuga we're on the run
Emphasizing the attempt to escape the distress of the Yuga once again.
They might try to crucify me
An anticipation of facing criticism or persecution (repeated from line 7).
but I won't even be found
An assertion of being difficult to control or restrain despite possible persecution (repeated from line 8).
I'm no longer blind
Reaching a state of awareness or enlightenment, no longer oblivious (repeated from line 9).
Six times I may fall to the ground
Accepting the possibility of failure but emphasizing resilience despite it (repeated from line 10).
but I'm going to stand up seven times
Emphasizing the determination to persist despite challenges and setbacks (repeated from line 11).
They might try to live their lives
An observation about others living their lives without understanding the scarcity of time.
but they don't realize they actually have no time
An assertion that others are unaware of the limited time they have.
Embracing a sick lifestyle
A criticism of embracing an unhealthy or morally questionable way of life as a seemingly dependable choice.
seems a reliable choice
An advisement or warning not to lose mental stability or composure.
Don't lose your mind
A closing reminder to maintain mental clarity or stability amidst challenges.
