How Many More Times
Beyond Desperation: Royal Blood's Abyssal Reflections
Lyrics
On the precipice, over the abyss
Facing a critical point, on the edge of a dangerous situation
Dark oceans crashing down, they swallow me whole
Powerful and ominous challenges overwhelming the speaker
Caught in the undertow
Trapped in a force pulling them down, struggling against it
Feels like my head's chewed and my blood's blue
Feeling mentally exhausted and physically drained
Cold rust used to shimmer, now I can't get a hold
Once vibrant elements now deteriorated, losing control
Of what's pulling me under
Unable to grasp what is dragging the speaker into difficulty
How many more times
Pleading or questioning how many more failures are needed
Have I gotta fail and fall?
Expressing frustration about repeated failures and setbacks
Risk it all down to the wire
Taking risks and facing challenges until the last moment
Inside of trouble's arms
Being enveloped by troubles or difficulties
In and out of my mind
Experiencing inner conflicts and confusion
Building up my walls
Constructing emotional barriers for self-protection
Couldn't stack 'em much higher
Struggling to cope with challenges, reaching a breaking point
Waiting on your call
Anticipating or waiting for communication or resolution
Another smoke screen, going unseen
Deceptive distractions, unnoticed actions causing harm
Done damage tearing stitches out of my soul
Causing harm by tearing apart essential aspects of the speaker's being
Caught in the undertow
Again caught in a force pulling them down
Tryna come to a deep blue
Striving for clarity or understanding in a challenging situation
As I come into the summer and I just can't take anymore
Reaching a point of exhaustion during a difficult period
Behind the closing door
Facing closure or rejection
How many more times
Reiterating the frustration about repeated failures
Have I gotta fail and fall?
Expressing the need to fail and fall again
Risk it all down to the wire
Taking risks persistently, pushing to the limit
Inside of trouble's arms
Being embraced by difficulties or troubles
In and out of my mind
Experiencing internal struggles and confusion
Building up my walls
Continuing to build emotional defenses, possibly out of necessity
Couldn't stack 'em much higher
Struggling to cope, emotional barriers reaching a peak
Waiting on your call
Anticipating a call or resolution
How many more times
Repeating the frustration and acceptance of failure
I gotta fail and fall?
Acknowledging the inevitability of failure and falling
Risk it all down to the wire
Persisting with risks despite the potential consequences
Inside of trouble's arms
Being surrounded by troubles or challenges
In and out of my mind
Continuing to navigate inner conflicts and confusion
Building up my walls
Building emotional walls as a means of self-preservation
Couldn't stack 'em much higher
Struggling to cope, emotional defenses at their limit
Waiting on your call
Awaiting resolution or communication
How many more times?
Reiterating the question of how many more failures are needed
How many more times?
Repeating the question, emphasizing the desperation or frustration
