Equilibrium
Finding Balance: Unveiling Life's Pendulum in Project Pitchfork's 'Equilibrium'
Lyrics
Why are you crying my dear
Expressing concern about the listener's emotional state.
Do you think you're being
Questioning the listener's perception of being treated unfairly.
Treated unfairly again
Acknowledging a sense of unfair treatment.
Well why do you think
Asking the listener to reflect on the reasons behind their situation.
This happened to you
Challenging the listener to consider the cause of their circumstances.
Don't you think there's
Suggesting the existence of a purpose or meaning behind the situation.
A reason for it
Positing that there may be a rationale for the perceived unfairness.
Every effect has its cause
Stating a philosophical principle that every effect has a cause.
And every action returns to its origin
Emphasizing the concept that actions have consequences.
A pendulum that's pushed
Introducing the metaphor of a pendulum, implying a cyclical nature of events.
Always swings back
Highlighting the inevitability of consequences with the metaphor of a swinging pendulum.
So why are you crying my dear
Repeating the initial question about the listener's emotional state.
Why are you crying my dear
Reiterating the inquiry into the reason for the listener's tears.
Treated unfairly again
Restating the perception of being treated unfairly.
Have you ever treated
Asking if the listener has treated others similarly in the past.
Someone like that before
Suggesting a connection between one's actions and the treatment received.
To injure someone means to injure yourself
Expressing the reciprocal nature of harm, where hurting others hurts oneself.
To inflict pain upon some
Stating the consequence of causing pain to someone else.
Means to inflict pain upon yourself
Emphasizing the reciprocal nature of inflicting pain on oneself through harming others.
Everything has its two poles
Concluding with the idea that everything has dual aspects or opposing forces.
