If All Is Lost
Embracing the Abyss: Sunnyside Uppers' Reflection on Lost Moments
Lyrics
You don't suspect it, but it's too late
You're unaware, but it's too late to change things.
By now familiar, there's no escape
The situation is now recognizable, and there's no way out.
Is there some underlying effort I should make
Is there something I should do to fix the underlying issue?
Fix my mistake
To correct my error.
If all is lost
When everything is gone or seems irretrievable.
All is lost
Emphasizing the sense of total loss.
If all is lost
Reiterating the feeling of complete loss or hopelessness.
Why am I still standing here
Questioning why I'm still present or enduring despite the circumstances.
Wish that I could disappear
Expressing a desire to vanish or escape the situation.
Will this ever go away
Wondering if this feeling will ever fade away.
Evidently not today
Realizing that the feeling persists, at least not today.
Slow to dissipate, does it show?
Slow to diminish, wondering if it's evident.
Is it me and you here? Does everybody know
Questioning if it's just between you and me or if everyone knows.
If I could just unwind the past, I guess I would
Desire to reverse or undo past events.
Seems like I should
Seems like the right thing to do.
If all is lost
Restating the idea that everything might be gone or unrecoverable.
All is lost
Reiterating the sense of complete loss.
If all is lost
Repeating the notion that everything could be lost.
Why am I still standing here
Asking why I'm still here despite the desire to disappear.
I just want to disappear
Expressing the strong wish to vanish.
Will this ever go away
Questioning if this feeling will ever cease.
Evidently not today
Realizing it's still persistent, at least not today.
Does it terrify you deep inside
Asking if the situation deeply frightens you.
Does it just annoy you I don't mind
Asking if it bothers you or if you're indifferent.
If you have to shut me out
If you need to exclude me.
I swear I'll try to understand
Promising to try and comprehend if you choose to exclude me.
This can't be part of someone's plan
Asserting that this situation can't be someone's intentional plan.
If all is lost
Reiterating the idea of total loss.
All is lost
Emphasizing the sense of complete loss.
If all is lost
Restating the feeling of complete loss or hopelessness.
All is lost
Concluding with the idea that everything might be lost.
