We Carry On
Navigating Life's Unseen Depths: We Carry On by Portishead
Lyrics
The taste of life I can't describe
The experience of life is indescribable.
It's choking on my mind
It feels overwhelming and stifling in my thoughts.
Reaching out I can't believe
Attempting to connect with something, but finding it hard to believe.
The faith it can't decide
The trust or belief system is uncertain or wavering.
On and on I carry on
Continuing to endure despite challenges.
But underneath my mind
Beneath the surface of my consciousness.
And on and on I tell my self
Reiterating to myself, persisting despite a hidden struggle.
It's this I can't disguise
Trying to mask or hide something that I cannot.
Oh can't you see
An expression of frustration or a plea for understanding.
Holding on to my heart
Clutching onto my emotional core or inner self.
I bleed the taste of life
Experiencing the intense and genuine essence of life.
The pace, the time, I can't survive
The speed and passage of time are overwhelming.
It's grinding down the view
Weary from the continuous pressure on my perspective.
Breaking out which way to choose
Struggling to make a decision about the direction to take.
A choice I can't renew
A decision that cannot be undone or changed.
Holding on I carry on
Persisting despite difficulties.
But underneath my mind
Beneath the surface of my consciousness (repeated).
And on and on I tell my self
Reiterating to myself, persisting despite a hidden struggle (repeated).
It's this I can't disguise
Trying to mask or hide something that I cannot (repeated).
Oh can't you see
An expression of frustration or a plea for understanding (repeated).
Holding on to my heart
Clutching onto my emotional core or inner self (repeated).
I bleed, no place is safe
Experiencing pain or vulnerability with no refuge.
Can't you see the taste of life
Highlighting the undeniable essence of life's experience.
