Return
Endless Cycle of Pain: Reflections on Longing and Despair
Lyrics
Wonder where that plane is leading to
Contemplating the destination of a plane and its significance.
Wonder where that boat will ever stop
Questioning the endless journey of a boat and when it will come to a halt.
Wonder if this path I am treading
Reflecting on the uncertain path being followed and its potential disappearance.
Will disappear and let me drop
Wondering if the path will vanish, leading to a potential fall or failure.
Down to a pen that's surely waiting
Anticipating a descent to a writing instrument that awaits, possibly symbolizing a darker state.
Down to the hell I know that I deserve
Envisioning a descent to a known, deserved hell.
Even though the spirit is willing
Acknowledging a willing spirit, but the body is deeply affected and damaged.
The flesh is blackened to the deepest nerve
Expressing physical and emotional damage to the deepest level.
When will you learn?
Raising a rhetorical question about the learning process.
The hurting, it will return

When will you ever learn?

This feeling is all you can discern
Asserting that the feeling of pain is the only discernible emotion.
Oh my heart, it is a-broken
Describing a broken heart that surpasses the value of waste on golden sand.
More than waste upon the golden sand
Comparing the broken heart to something more significant, possibly expressing deep emotional turmoil.
Fly my love on wings of mute confusion
Encouraging a loved one to fly on wings of confusion in the surreal Never-Ever land.
Oh, in Never-Ever land
Referencing an imaginary or dreamlike place called Never-Ever land.
When will you learn?
Reiterating the question about the learning process and understanding consequences.
When will you ever learn?

This feeling is all you can discern
Affirming that the feeling of pain is the predominant emotion.
When will you learn?
