King Alvarez
Lament of King Alvarez: Struggles in an Unheard World
Lyrics
Grey sky man is talking to the sidewalk once again
Grey sky man is engaging in conversation with the sidewalk once again.
Your perfect vision of the world it goes unheard
Your idealistic view of the world goes unnoticed or unacknowledged.
As the rain falls down on your head it slips inside the cracks of another fruitless day
Rain is penetrating through the cracks, symbolizing the challenges of another unproductive day.
Here in the land of king alvarez
The setting is described as the land of King Alvarez, suggesting a place of hardship or struggle.
you're losing once again
Experiencing loss once more.
It's getting harder to survive when the world that's all around you just don't seem to care
Survival becomes difficult in a world seemingly indifferent to your existence.
And the universe you've built for yourself is caving in right on you
The personal universe one has built is collapsing.
And the streets are getting colder then they used to be these days and now
The streets are becoming colder, reflecting a harsher reality.
I see you walkin' down the boulevard alone and your screaming at the top of your lungs
The protagonist observes someone walking alone, expressing frustration loudly.
All night and I wonder to myself how did you get to be this king without a throne
Questions arise about how this person became a "king" without any apparent success or recognition.
its just another sunny day here in the land of babylon
Contrast between the sunny day and the struggles in the land of Babylon.
To see the things that no one sees to hear the lie that no one tells
Desire to perceive the hidden truths and confront the lies that others ignore.
Its getting lonely in this place
Isolation and loneliness are intensifying.
Gettin tired of it all
Weariness and exhaustion from the challenges of life.
I've wondered to myself how many times he's cracked inside
Speculation about the internal struggles and emotional cracks of the person being observed.
Screaming at the top of your lungs and now
Continued screaming reflects inner turmoil.
The voices in your head keep getting louder with the passing of each day
The inner voices are becoming louder, possibly indicating mental distress.
It's getting harder to go on
The difficulty of carrying on is increasing.
I don't know what you don't know
Uncertainty about what is unknown to the person.
You wouldn't play that game the same
Reflection on how one would approach a past situation differently.
You wouldn't play that game at all
Suggesting a reluctance to engage in a particular game or situation.
as the rain falls down on your head
Repetition of rain falling, emphasizing the persistent challenges faced.
It slips inside the cracks of another fruitless day
Rain slipping into the cracks symbolizes continued struggles in a futile day.
Here in the land of alvarez
Reiteration of being in the land of Alvarez, emphasizing the difficult environment.
