The Knife
Journey Through Shadows: Embracing Humility and Resilience
Lyrics
Walk with us
Invitation to join a group or cause
Carry the load
Take on responsibilities or burdens
Follow through
Complete tasks or commitments
Never alone
Assurance of constant support
Please man
Request for cooperation or assistance
Carry on
Continue with determination
Follow through
Persist in actions or plans
Never alone
Reiteration of never being alone
Violent places you’re gonna wake in
Anticipation of challenging situations
Nothing there can keep you sound
Confidence that nothing can harm you
That is why
Explanation for carrying burdens
You’ll carry the load
Reaffirmation of carrying responsibilities
And follow through
Emphasis on following through with actions
Never alone
Reassurance of never being alone
The whole we cannot do without
Acknowledgment of interdependence
The knife may call
Suggesting a metaphorical "knife" representing challenges
You’re humbler then you used to be
Noting a decrease in arrogance
You’re smaller then you used to be
Observation of diminished stature
You’re slower then you used to be
Noting a decrease in speed or efficiency
You’re humbler then you need to be
Being more humble than necessary
Are you afraid of what you’ll be?
Raising questions about fear and self-perception
Now will you try and compensate?
Questioning if compensation for shortcomings will occur
For all the cost you generate and leave society?
Questioning the societal impact of one's actions
Here we are
Declaration of present reality
The whole we cannot do without
Reiteration of interdependence
The knife may call
Repetition of the metaphorical "knife" and its call
The knife may call
Repetition of the potential challenge or hardship
