Numbers
Beyond Men: Navigating the Abyss of Numbers
Lyrics
We are no more men, we are numbers
We no longer identify as individuals but as numerical entities, losing our humanity.
We wake in lonley hotellobbies we don‘t know
We awaken in desolate hotel lobbies, unfamiliar and disconnected.
With a headache and a taste on our lips we hardly can pin down
We wake with physical discomfort and a lingering taste, unable to clearly define.
Down we go
We descend, potentially metaphorically or physically, into a state of decline.
With all that we know
Despite our knowledge and understanding, we continue this descent.
We go down
We continue the descent, reiterating the action.
down we go - we go
An emphasis on the continuous downward movement, highlighting the repetition.
We go down down we go
Reaffirmation of the ongoing descent, possibly indicating inevitability or repetition.
I‘ll take any God
Willingness to embrace any concept of a higher power.
i’ll name it mine
Claiming ownership of this higher power if it could alter the process of death.
if he‘d only change the way
A plea for change in the way humanity faces mortality.
we die
An acknowledgment of the inevitability of death.
Guess all the rest
Speculation that everything else is subject to the chaos and disorder we encounter.
is up to the mess
Responsibility or resolution lies within the mess we encounter.
that we find
Implies that when we strip away externalities, we're confronted with reality.
if we strip down
(Empty line)
We go
A repetition of the earlier descent, echoing a continuing decline.
We go down
Reiteration of the downward movement, possibly emphasizing inevitability.
down we go we go
Reaffirmation of the ongoing descent, echoing previous lines.
We go down down we go
Continuation of the description of descent, reiterating the process.
So find yourself someone who tells you that there’s
Encouragement to find someone who perceives absence rather than darkness.
no darkness only absence of light
Encouragement to find someone who walks alongside, offering support and companionship.
So find yourself someone who walks with you
