In the Grave
One Foot in the Grave: Embracing Regrets and Self-Reflection
Lyrics
I count the years ignore the days and
I am counting the passing years and neglecting the individual days.
All the ways I could have saved myself
Reflecting on missed opportunities to save myself from consequences.
It's something that I always do
Engaging in a habitual behavior of ignoring certain realities.
But it'll never do without the truth
The chosen path lacks authenticity without acknowledging the truth.
I chose to live with no regrets and now
I made a decision to live without regrets, but consequences are catching up.
The choice is catching up to me
The consequences of my choices are becoming evident.
People don't change because you wish
People don't change just because you desire it.
We stay the same
Human nature tends to remain constant.
We stay the same
Reiteration that people often resist change.
I've got one foot in the grave
Feeling close to death or facing severe consequences.
And I feel like I'm on this side by myself
Experiencing isolation and loneliness due to past actions.
When I've been done and dusted
Reflecting on past experiences and challenges overcome.
And the world don't know my name
Anticipating a time when my existence is unknown to the world.
There will be no one left to blame but me
Accepting personal responsibility for future consequences.
With one foot in the grave
Emphasizing the precarious position, possibly nearing the end of life.
This time I've had all I can take
Reaching a point of exhaustion or emotional fatigue.
I'm running down and feeling low so low
Feeling drained and experiencing a deep emotional low.
I finally figured out just who I am
Finally understanding one's true identity but realizing it's too late.
But it is far too late too late by far
Expressing regret for missed opportunities and irreversible decisions.
There's nothing in this world that I can do
Feeling helpless in concealing the truth from others.
To hide the truth from all of you and now
Confronting a harsh reality while observing one's own mistakes.
Staring at this hole I've come to find
Facing a situation and realizing discomfort with the current perspective.
That I don't like this point of view
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current point of view.
I've got one foot in the grave
Reiterating the precariousness of the current situation or mindset.
And I feel like I'm on this side by myself
Experiencing isolation and loneliness due to past actions (repeated).
When I've been done and dusted
Reflecting on past experiences and challenges overcome (repeated).
And the world don't know my name
Anticipating a time when my existence is unknown to the world (repeated).
There will be no one left to blame but me
Accepting personal responsibility for future consequences (repeated).
With one foot in the grave
Emphasizing the precarious position, possibly nearing the end of life (repeated).
Sins unknown to all who knew me
Acknowledging undisclosed wrongdoings hidden from others.
Locked away in pine
Describing a state of confinement or secrecy using pine wood imagery.
I will never know how I have
Expressing regret for not understanding how time was wasted.
Wasted all their precious time
Realizing the impact of one's actions on others.
I've got one foot in the grave
Reiterating the precariousness of the current situation or mindset (repeated).
And I feel like I'm on this side by myself
Experiencing isolation and loneliness due to past actions (repeated).
When I've been done and dusted
Reflecting on past experiences and challenges overcome (repeated).
And the world don't know my name
Anticipating a time when my existence is unknown to the world (repeated).
There will be no one left to blame but me
Accepting personal responsibility for future consequences (repeated).
With one foot in the grave
Emphasizing the precarious position, possibly nearing the end of life (repeated).
