Waterer's Pine
Frozen Reflections: Navigating Life's Trade-Offs in Waterer's Pine
Lyrics
I’m found snookered in the concrete
I am trapped or stuck in the urban environment (concrete).
With eyes locked on raster type
My attention is focused on a grid-like pattern (raster type).
Will I ever look out
Will I ever have a broader perspective?
Blind smuir for the hell of it to leave me on the freezing ice
Intentionally embracing confusion or chaos, leaving me in a difficult situation.
Thin sheet I plunge deep
I immerse myself in a thin layer of something deep.
But would I choose to climb out
Questioning the choice to escape or improve my situation.

Nothing’s safe under corniced ice
Nothing is secure or stable under the weight of accumulated problems.
Just less wind for thin hides
Having less difficulty or adversity for those with strong exteriors.
It's facing the trade off between boredom and death
Facing the dilemma between a mundane existence and mortality.
Its dreary eyes, weighted walking up mismatched runged steps
Tired eyes, struggling to climb metaphorical steps with no clear destination.
