Crippled Figurines
Unveiling the Fragile Dance of Meaning in 'Crippled Figurines'
Lyrics
Despite all our efforts
Efforts have been made despite challenges.
It seems nothing's sacred at all
There's a lack of reverence or sanctity in things.
While everything's falling
Everything is disintegrating or collapsing.
Apart, I keep crawling
Continuing to strive despite difficulties.
Towards distant flooding
Heading towards overwhelming or distant chaos.
In circular movements
Progressing in repetitive, cyclical patterns.
I'm curious but I'm a coward
Being inquisitive yet lacking bravery.
So, it cancels it out the gestures
Actions that show interest are nullified due to fear.
Of a feeble hand that reaches
A weak attempt to grasp fragile or damaged ideals.
For these crippled figurines
Possibly referring to imperfect representations of ideals.
Created in a stale attempt
Trying to create meaning in a failed or stagnant effort.
To invent some symbolic anchor
An attempt to establish a symbolic foundation.
Where upon to fix a scattered mind
Seeking stability for a scattered or disorganized mind.
I lose my ambition
Loss of drive or determination.
And all my convictions
Losing beliefs or strongly held views.
As we rip the seams and
Dismantling and discarding all parts or elements.
Discard all the pieces
Rejecting and abandoning fragmented components.
I'll allow myself another night inside the mist
Choosing to remain in confusion or uncertainty.
Instead of dealing with the things which manifest itself in front of me
Avoiding confronting immediate challenges.
Because everything is just too painful to reach out and touch
Emphasizing the difficulty in facing painful realities.
And anyway, when meaning slips away as fast as it appears
Meaning or significance disappearing rapidly.
It's all too hopeless to assemble all these fragments to a single thought
Difficulty in piecing together thoughts or ideas.
It all amounts to nothing more than this
Concluding that everything leads to insignificance.
Despite all our efforts
Reiteration of previous statement about efforts.
There's still nothing sacred at all
Reiterating the lack of sacredness in things.
