Whirlwind Reflections: Terrestrea's 'Richter' Unveiled
Lyrics
She was holding back
Expression of restraint or holding back emotions or actions.
hurricanes with a six pack
Metaphorical imagery of using a six-pack to resist or control powerful forces like hurricanes.
No finallys, just me, begging the question
Absence of definite conclusions, personal reflection, and questioning.
There was nothing left
Suggesting an emptiness or lack of substance.
Spoiled rotten now we've trimmed the facts
Transformation from excess and indulgence to a more measured reality.
All anxiety for eternity fleshed in a moment
Anxiety and eternity condensed into a brief moment.
Do life saving rules still apply
Query about the relevance of life-saving rules.
Amidst the storm will we abide
Questioning if adherence to rules is possible amidst chaos.
There is no cornerstone
Absence of a stable foundation or guiding principle.
Nothing we do can ever hold
Highlighting the impermanence of human efforts.
Your scripture is my grace
Equating personal beliefs to a source of strength or solace.
Force me to take my place
Being compelled to assume a specific role.
Hail mary
Invoking religious imagery, possibly seeking divine intervention.
I am full of shame
Expressing guilt or remorse.
Starve myself for meagre gain
Sacrificing personal well-being for meager gains.
Prostrate before the throne of you
Surrendering or submitting to a higher authority or person.
Everything is not enough
Feeling unfulfilled despite efforts or achievements.
Everything is not enough
Emphasizing insufficiency or inadequacy.
Let your hands come to
Invoking a gesture of comfort or blessing.
Rest upon my head
Seeking guidance and assurance.
To lead and
Acknowledging a submissive role.
Reassure
Seeking reassurance from a higher power or authority.
I am your lamb to the slaughter
Metaphorical reference to being sacrificed or vulnerable.
Word or deed or damned introspection
Contemplating actions, words, or self-reflection leading to damnation.
We tried to stand against
Attempting resistance against external forces.
But you can barely look me in the eyes
Perceiving avoidance or guilt in interpersonal interactions.
If you won't open my eyes then just take them
Desiring a profound impact or realization.
Did you give me these gifts so you could see how I waste
Questioning the purpose or intention behind bestowed gifts.
Tore the wounds off of each other as the ark left
Metaphorically describing interpersonal wounds during a departure.
Senses trembling in the dark, into spiralling depth
Sensory and emotional turmoil in the face of darkness and uncertainty.
replay our cries, over static over compromise
Reflecting on past conflicts and the difficulty of finding common ground.
Pressure cracking past the precipice and fault lines
Intense pressure reaching critical points and the breaking of established boundaries.
Now we've struck the stone, no more sin to sow
Reaching a point of resolution or absolution from sin.
ledgers open in the light now all is known
Revelation and exposure of hidden truths.
We will make mistakes today
Acknowledging the inevitability of making mistakes.
Still we hope the pieces will fall into place
Retaining hope for eventual coherence or resolution.
