Simple Terms
Navigating Life's Labyrinth: The Complex Simplicity in Simple Terms
Lyrics
I've got a bloodshot eye upon the night
I am experiencing a night with a bloodshot eye, indicating fatigue or distress.
Sunlight and fog and all the certainties of time
Reflecting on uncertainties in life symbolized by sunlight, fog, and the passage of time.
This Ship of Theseus with structural integrity
Comparing oneself to the Ship of Theseus, questioning structural integrity as pieces fall apart.
My pieces fall apart, I don't know what will become of me
Fearful uncertainty about the future as personal pieces disintegrate.
Digging through old journals just to find out how I feel
Searching through past journals to understand emotions and struggling to define reality.
Like I can't remember what determines if I'm real
Feeling disconnected, unable to determine one's own reality.
c veteran multitool, the stories that I left behind
Referencing a veteran multitool and stories left behind, possibly exploring a complex past.
Each breath I've lost is just exhaust for the beating heart inside
Every breath lost is described as exhaust for the beating heart inside.
cnd I don't wanna waste my time watching my life burn up
Expressing a desire not to waste time witnessing life deteriorate.
I don't wanna waste my time waiting for a hero to turn up
Rejecting the idea of waiting for a hero to solve life's challenges.
I don't wanna waste my time pretending that I'm fine
Refusing to pretend everything is fine when there's no clear resolution or finish line.
When there's no finish line, it's a race against the lie
Life is portrayed as a race with no finish line, battling against falsehoods.
Damp cold, the road pulls winter's coat on sleeve by sleeve
Describing a cold and damp environment, with pain leaving traces in dreams.
Pain carves the tracks of all the evil in my dreams
Painful experiences carving lasting impressions and affecting perceptions.
When I park at stations, all I see are stranger's eyes on me
Feeling observed and judged at stations, reflecting on the eyes of strangers.
I wonder when my racing thoughts will ever let me sleep
Wondering when racing thoughts will allow for restful sleep.
Cause I don't wanna waste my time watching my life burn up
Reiterating the desire not to waste time witnessing life's challenges.
I don't wanna waste my time waiting for a hero to turn up
Continuing the rejection of waiting for external solutions.
I don't wanna waste my time pretending that I'm fine
Insisting on not pretending to be fine in the absence of a clear resolution.
When there's no finish line, it's a race against the lie
Emphasizing the ongoing race in life without a defined finish line.
cnd I admit, the couch I sit in does accommodate
Admitting that the couch accommodates but also expressing discontent with its weight.
The feeling grates, I hate the way it hefts my weight
Disliking the way the couch supports the speaker's weight.
cnd you, on the other side, your eyes like knives
Describing the other person's eyes as sharp and capable of simplifying complexities.
You carve the complex of my mind into simple terms, as if that's what I'm worth
The other person distills the speaker's mind into simple terms, questioning self-worth.
cnd I don't wanna waste my time, watching my life burn up
Reiterating the desire not to waste time witnessing life's challenges.
I don't wanna waste my time waiting for a hero to turn up
Continuing the rejection of waiting for external solutions.
I don't wanna waste my time letting the dust pile up
Avoiding the accumulation of dust, metaphorically addressing neglect and stagnation.
I don't wanna waste my time pretending that I'm fine
Refusing to pretend everything is fine in the absence of a clear resolution.
When there's no finish line, it's a race against the lie
Emphasizing the ongoing race in life without a defined finish line.
