Void
Lost Gambles and Love's Cost: A Tale of Void
Lyrics
All for nothing, and what do I get to keep?
All efforts seem futile; what remains?
A name, a face, a memory that burns in my sleep
A name, a face, and a haunting memory persist in my dreams.
It's better to have loved and lost, well that's not true
The notion that it's better to have loved and lost is questioned.
I'd cancel the whole thing and skip the pain, wouldn't you?
Considering the pain, the speaker contemplates canceling the entire experience.
I gambled things that cannot be replaced
The speaker took risks with irreplaceable things; was it all in vain?
Was all of it a waste?
Reflecting on whether everything invested was a waste.
We gave it all for this to live
A sacrifice was made for the current existence.
What have we got to show for it?
Questioning the tangible outcomes of the sacrifices.
Now everything will be destroyed
Anticipating destruction of everything.
We're rendered null and void
Being left without purpose or significance.
You've got problems, so do I, so does everyone
Everyone faces problems; why did ours obstruct us so early?
Why did ours have to shut us down before we'd begun?
Expressing frustration at external forces shutting down their potential.
The world at large is not as dumb as you'd like to think
Warning against underestimating the intelligence of the world.
You turn your back, they'll cut your throat before you can blink
Highlighting the potential consequences of turning one's back on the world.
Someday our debts all will be repaid
Hopeful that debts will be repaid someday.
We'll get them back in spades
Expecting retribution or justice in abundance.
We gave it all for this to live
Reiterating the sacrifices made for current existence.
What have we got to show for it?
Questioning the fruits of the sacrifices.
Now everything will be destroyed
Foreseeing the impending destruction of everything.
We're rendered null and void
Feeling devoid of purpose or significance.
I might have to sell my soul but, yeah, I want everything
Contemplating a significant personal sacrifice for material gain.
I want to eat my cake and I'm not afraid of anything
Desiring both success and indulgence without fear.
Except losing
The only fear is the fear of losing.
We gave it all for this to live
Reiterating the sacrifices made for current existence.
What have we got to show for it?
Reiterating the query about the tangible outcomes of sacrifices.
Now everything will be destroyed
Reiterating the anticipation of the destruction of everything.
We're rendered null and void
Reiterating the feeling of being rendered purposeless.
