Lyrics
Guess I shouldn't make pretend
Expressing a realization not to pretend
Guess I should run from them
Considering running away from something/someone
Guess I could just keep counting every second as it falls away
Contemplating the passage of time and its value
But then there's none left
Reflecting on the scarcity of time
Guess I should just make friends
Thinking about forming connections with others
So this can all make sense
Desiring coherence or understanding in life
That's enough for them
Suggesting that meeting certain expectations is sufficient
To go to their deaths with
Alluding to people following a path even to their demise
But I like holding on
Expressing a preference for holding on or persevering
You are
Addressing someone as "The Island"
The Island
Referencing oneself or a collective as "The Heart"
We are
Expressing unity or togetherness
The Heart
Feeling emotional intensity internally
So I'm welling up inside
Describing someone/something as shadows
They are
Indicating a future haunting or persistent presence
The shadows
Referring to a potential regret for actions
We will
Building up momentum in a void or emptiness
Haunt them
Conveying disappointment and disbelief
So they can never sleep again
Anticipating consequences leading to vulnerability
Keep this up and you'll regret
Warning about potential regret in the future
Building steam in nothingness
Accumulating energy in a state of nothingness or insignificance
Disappoint and disbelief
Expressing feelings of letdown and disbelief
Soon you'll be on your knees
Predicting a downfall or a moment of vulnerability
And no one will help you
Suggesting a lack of assistance or support
Look around suspiciously
Observing surroundings with suspicion
Nothing here is stopping me
Asserting an unstoppable progress despite circumstances
So why am i still holding on to you?
Questioning attachment despite circumstances
I guess it is to feel something
Suggesting a need to experience emotions or sensations
You are the shadow
Identifying someone as "The Shadow"
We will find you
Asserting the determination to confront and eliminate a haunting presence
So you can never haunt us again
Describing someone/something as islands
They are the islands
Expressing the determination to locate and confront them
We will find them
Anticipating consequences for their inability to rest
So they can never sleep again
Conveying an intent to disrupt their peace or rest
