Lyrics
This can't be real, declared it a deal
This situation seems unreal, but it was agreed upon.
But they were all sealed away just before they were about to break
Plans were sealed away just before they could fall apart.
And we all hoped it wouldn't be the same for them
Hopes are expressed that the outcome will not be negative for them.
For when they finally made it there and no one even really cared
Upon reaching a destination, their achievement goes unnoticed and unappreciated.
That's the only thing that ever scared him straight
The fear of not being acknowledged is emphasized, serving as a powerful motivation.
It was his only hope and he slowly watched it die away
The protagonist's hope is dwindling, witnessing it slowly fade away.
Nightmare
A nightmarish experience or situation is highlighted.
Nightmare
(Repetition of "Nightmare," possibly emphasizing the severity of the situation)
Forget what you want
An encouragement to forget personal desires or aspirations.
It all comes back round in the end
The consequences of actions eventually catch up.
Festering and chewing away
A metaphorical description of lingering and corrosive effects.
Right when you think that it's done it begins to replay
Just when one thinks a situation is resolved, it starts anew.
We all knew it would be the same for them
A realization that the outcome for them will indeed be as feared.
Blinded by naivety we thought they'd know
Blinded by innocence, it was assumed they would understand.
That it's just a dream well I best not end up begging for it to be
The dream is acknowledged, but the speaker hopes not to beg for it.
As you approach the crux it's lips they fade a pale blue
As a critical point is reached, there is a sign of distress or suffocation.
Your chance is fifty-fifty have you ever heard of loaded dice?
An analogy with loaded dice suggests an element of chance or manipulation in their situation.
Strung loose on the ambiguity of fate
Dependence on the uncertainty of fate, creating confusion.
A vacillating love slowly wilts and turns to hate
A fluctuating love turns into hatred over time.
I can't win as long as I'm in love
A realization that being in love leads to a losing situation.
So consequently I suppose that's why I'm still losing
The speaker acknowledges continuous losses, possibly stemming from love.
