Surface Tension
Echoes of Despair: Saint Winter's Reflection on a World in Crisis
Lyrics
It isn't hard to see
Expressing that the issues are evident.
The planet's killing me
Feeling the negative impact of the world on oneself.
And it's a slow disease
Describing the gradual and harmful nature of a problem.
Do you agree
Seeking agreement or validation from others.
I didn't ask for pain
Expressing discontent about experiencing pain.
Or the blood that runs through my veins
Rejecting undesirable aspects of one's existence.
And you are the same
Noting similarities with someone else, perhaps shared struggles.
You are the same
-I don't want to write
Expressing a desire to move away from writing about love.
Any more love songs
Expressing a reluctance to write more love songs.
I just want to know
Expressing a concern about the future, specifically meeting a grandson.
If I will meet my grandson
-I don't want to write
Reiterating the reluctance to write love songs.
Any more love songs
-I just want to know
Repeating the concern about meeting a grandson.
If I will meet my grandson
-I don't want to write
Reaffirming the aversion to writing love songs.
Any more love songs
-I just want to know
Repeating the worry about meeting a grandson.
If I will meet my grandson
-I don't want to write
Emphasizing the desire to move away from love songs.
Any more love songs
-I just want to know
Stressing the desire to know about meeting a grandson.
I just want to know
-Sink down to the marina trench
Symbolic expression of seeking solace or escape, possibly underwater.
Just so I can get some rest
-Lay your head on my neck
-Sold my hope
Describing a self-destructive behavior, possibly through substance abuse.
Cigarettes I pour down my throat
-Overdose
-Fail to float
-I don't want to write
Reiterating the aversion to writing love songs.
Any more love songs
-I just want to know
Repeating the concern about meeting a grandson.
If I will meet my grandson

Reaffirming the reluctance to write love songs.
Any more love songs

Expressing a strong desire to avoid death.
I don't want to die
