Black Box
Embracing Existential Liberation
Lyrics
Nothing but another grain of sand
Expressing insignificance, likening oneself to a small part of a vast environment.
Even with a thousand lives I'd still
Even with numerous opportunities or lifetimes, the speaker feels ignorant.
Wouldn't know a thing
An admission of not understanding much despite the experiences.
Burn matches in the dark
Metaphorically burning resources without gaining clarity or knowledge.
Blindly throw my wisdom net around
Acting without insight, attempting to grasp understanding without direction.
I so crave the precious exaltation
Desire for a positive, uplifting experience without the burden of guilt.
Just without the guilt that comes along
Yearning for exaltation without moral repercussions.
Give me please the liberation
Request for the freedom of not caring or being burdened by concerns.
Of not giving a shit
Expressing a desire for liberation from societal expectations.
Somehow
An unspecified situation or feeling that the speaker recognizes.
I know
Confident acknowledgment of a certain knowledge or understanding.
Touch the cosmos and you'll burn
Warning about the consequences of reaching beyond one's limits.
I'm sorry that your plan went wrong
Sympathy for someone whose plan has failed.
Toughen up, you should've known
Encouragement to face challenges with resilience.
Some truths we just can't take
Recognition that some truths are difficult to accept or confront.
As small as all before
Emphasizing smallness in comparison to what precedes.
Under dying stars
Under celestial bodies that are dying, possibly symbolizing a sense of decay.
My delusions comfort me again
Personal illusions providing comfort in challenging times.
A billion billions hold
An immense number of entities offering support and guidance.
My hand and show the way
Guidance from numerous sources, leading the way.
Helping me take another step
Assistance in taking another step forward, possibly in personal growth.
Βy now
Confident acknowledgment of a current understanding or realization.
I know
Similar to line 13, a self-assured awareness of a situation or truth.
A snowflake in an avalanche
Symbolism of individual insignificance within a larger, overwhelming force.
A billion helping hands will steer
Belief in collective support, overcoming challenges with assistance.
Toughen up, stare down the void
Encouragement to face emptiness or uncertainty with strength.
No truth can stand our gaze
Assertion that no truth can withstand intense scrutiny.
Oh when I'm gone
Reflection on the speaker's departure or absence.
I only hope
Expressing a hope to positively impact someone even after leaving.
I give someone
Desire to contribute or influence someone positively.
That extra step
Granting encouragement for progress or advancement.
