To No Avail
Fading Echoes: A Soul's Descent in 'To No Avail'
Lyrics
Don't stand too close, you might get burned
Warning against getting too close to avoid emotional harm.
Another senseless lesson learned
Reflecting on a senseless lesson learned from a past mistake.
You should have known, you've only known me all this time
Expressing disappointment that the other person should have known better given the duration of the relationship.
Don't turn your back, you know I'll choke
Cautioning against turning away as it may lead to choking emotions.
On every word, on every note
Struggling with emotional intensity and vulnerability in communication.
On every time I'm left to lay alone at night
Feeling abandoned and lonely during the night.
Misery loves company, but you aren't here, I'm on my knees
Noting the absence of the person in times of misery and despair.
I'm kicking and I'm screaming
Expressing intense emotions, possibly frustration or anger.
When did "always" lose all meaning?
Questioning when the commitment of "always" lost its significance.
Save your tears, and dry your eyes
Advising the other person to save their tears and move on.
I won't be coming back home tonight
Declaring the decision not to return home that night.
You tried to call me, but I smashed my phone
Indicating a deliberate act of cutting off communication by smashing the phone.
To no avail, this life is not my own

A nervous wreck, we never learn

We're past the point of no return
Acknowledging a point of no return in a relationship.
This sinking feeling eats away at my insides
Expressing an internal struggle caused by a sinking feeling.
We came so close, but fell behind
Reflecting on a missed opportunity despite coming close.
My selfish lies, your one track mind

We could have had it made, we could have had it all
Regretting lost potential for a successful relationship.

You break me down so beautifully

Why can't I shake these feelings?

I'll call you up, we'll talk, we'll cry, we'll fuck

But both of us will never measure up
