Lifeline
Embracing Life's Lifelines: A Wake-Up Call
Lyrics
I'm tired again
I am feeling fatigued once again.
And I can't sleep again
Unable to find rest or sleep again.
All this shit keeps running
Various troubling thoughts persistently occupy my mind.
Through my head
These thoughts are intrusive and pervasive.
It eats away it won't keep away
They consume me and are difficult to escape.
Waiting for me when I go to bed
These thoughts haunt me when I try to sleep.
Hey why
A questioning expression directed at someone.
Why the hell are you wasting your time
Expressing confusion about the person's use of time.
Waiting all your life for a lifeline
Questioning the choice to wait for an opportunity or assistance in life.
Living your life like it's over
Living life as if it's already concluded or hopeless.
Another day is just another day
Another day feels monotonous and unremarkable.
Walking round aimlessly like I'm walking dead
Wandering aimlessly, feeling emotionally numb.
The things I see you would not believe
Witnessing distressing things that are hard to believe.
Waiting for me 'til I crawl to bed
These disturbing images linger until I go to bed.
Hey why
Raising the same questioning expression about time.
Why the hell are you wasting your time
Expressing confusion about spending a lifetime waiting for help.
Waiting all your life for a lifeline
Questioning the choice to live life as if it's already ended.
Living your life like it's over
Old man why'd you never
Addressing an old man and questioning his failure to follow a plan.
Follow on your plan
Asking why the old man didn't pursue his intended course of action.
Trying to pretend you know you can't
Attempting to pretend, but acknowledging the impossibility of pretending.
You're scared to admit that it's over
Acknowledging fear and reluctance to admit that something is over.
Hey why
Repeating the questioning expression about the use of time.
Why the hell are you wasting your time
Reiterating confusion about spending a lifetime waiting for assistance.
Waiting all your life for a lifeline
Questioning the choice to live life as if it's already concluded.
Living your life like it's over
