Lyrics
My mind's made up to pacing across the floor
Expressing determination and restlessness, pacing due to inner conflict.
No point in staying if we're not saying war
Deciding to leave if there is no resolution or agreement, especially regarding war.
I don't mind hanging around
Comfortable with waiting or being patient.
Whatever now and what else can I do?
Feeling powerless and questioning the available options.
It's a question of you.
Pivotal line, the central theme; the uncertainty revolves around a specific person ("you").
Thoughts careen till I can't stand up
Mind overwhelmed with thoughts, reaching a point of physical instability.
Where's the crime in a streak of bad luck?
Questioning the morality of experiencing a streak of bad luck.
Words to pick at, retreat from
Words causing discomfort, leading to withdrawal or avoidance.
Words that fester if only to get at the truth
Words that may cause pain but are necessary to uncover the truth.
It's a question of you.
Reiterating the central theme; the uncertainty is centered around the person addressed.
What it all comes down to
Summarizing the essence of the situation.
Is a different set of values
Highlighting a clash in core beliefs or principles.
To throw away or mobilize to use
Choosing between discarding values or mobilizing them for action.
It's a question of you.
Restating the central theme with emphasis on the person in question.
No time to be singular
Emphasizing the urgency, no time for individuality or singularity.
Here's hoping that the feeling gets through
Expressing hope that the emotions or intentions are understood.
The sound of sound beginning leads to places
Alluding to the beginning of something significant, possibly a conflict.
Where reflections break anew
Imagery of reaching points where self-reflection or understanding shatters.
It's a question of you.
Reiterating the central theme, emphasizing the uncertainty tied to the person ("you").
What it all comes down to
Repeating the essence of the situation for emphasis.
Is a different set of values
Reiterating the clash of values and the need to decide their fate.
To throw away or mobilize to use
Echoing the choice between discarding or activating values, related to the person in question.
It's a question of you.
Final emphasis on the central theme, the unresolved question concerning the person ("you").
