Faint Resemblance
Echoes of Unspoken Pain: Faint Resemblance by Rise Against
Lyrics
Wait
Expressing impatience or anticipation for something.
I'm not listening to you now
Choosing not to pay attention or disregard what is being said.
I wasn't listening to you then
Reflecting on a past moment of not listening.
I know that nothing will be the same again
Acknowledging a significant change and the inevitability of it.
There's only so much I can handle
Stating a limit to one's emotional capacity or endurance.
Only so much I can take
Acknowledging a threshold for enduring challenges.
Before my knees start to buckle
Describing a physical reaction to stress or pressure.
And my arms start to shake
Continuing to describe the physical and emotional toll.
Have we been here before?
Questioning if a similar situation has been experienced before.
Will we be here again?
Wondering about the recurrence of a challenging scenario.
I don't know how much of me you expect standing here right now
Expressing uncertainty about meeting expectations in the present moment.
I beg for you to let go
Pleading for release or detachment from a situation or relationship.
I dread the day you finally do
Anticipating and fearing the eventual separation.
I fight for your attention
Struggling to gain attention or recognition from someone.
Too little too late
Suggesting that efforts or actions are insufficient or belated.
Or too much too soon
Pondering whether actions were too little too late or too much too soon.
And how will this plague the time
Raising questions about the impact of the current situation on the future.
We share from here on out?
Asking how the current challenges will affect the shared time going forward.
And how long will this taint
Questioning the duration of the negative influence on communication.
All these words spilling from my mouth?
Expressing concern about the lasting effects of spoken words.
Have we been here before?
Repeating the query about experiencing a similar situation in the past.
Will we be here again?
Repeating the uncertainty about encountering the situation again.
I don't know how much more of me
Reiterating the uncertainty about meeting expectations in the current moment.
You expect standing here right now
Repeating the question about experiencing a similar situation currently.
Have we been here before?
Repeating the query about a possible recurrence of the situation.
Will we be here again?
Repeating the uncertainty about encountering the situation again.
