Oblivion
Standing on the Edge of Existential Abyss
Lyrics
Crept up to the edge of exhaustion
Feeling near complete exhaustion, possibly from mental or emotional strain.
A platoon of memories rush in
A flood of memories or experiences rushes in.
Does salvation come to everyone
Questioning if salvation or redemption is universally attainable.
When you separate the body from the mind?
Asking about the potential for salvation when separating the physical body from the mind or soul.
Temptation can drive a man insane
Suggests that strong temptation has the ability to drive someone to madness.
Only with himself to blame
Blaming oneself when facing the consequences of temptation.
And I'm standing on the edge of oblivion
Being at the brink of complete forgetfulness or unawareness.
Standing on the edge of oblivion
Reiterating the state of being at the edge of oblivion.
And I'll put my best foot forward
Committing to making the best effort or taking the best step forward despite the situation.
Put my best foot forward
Repeating the commitment to putting forward the best effort.
It's impossible to pretend all is well
Expressing the impossibility of pretending everything is fine when fear dominates life.
When life is organized by fear
Life being controlled or structured by fear, creating a confined and distressing existence.
Wrapped up in a neatly packaged hell
Describing a hellish situation neatly packaged or disguised.
And the reason still remains unclear
Expressing a lack of clarity about the reasons behind the situation.
I've mastered the art of complications
Having become adept at complicating matters until all possible outcomes or issues are identified.
'Til every possibility's been named
Continuing until every possible scenario or problem is identified and acknowledged.
And I'm standing on the edge of oblivion
Reiteration of being at the brink of complete forgetfulness or unawareness.
Standing on the edge of oblivion
Reiterating the state of being at the edge of oblivion.
Standing on the edge of oblivion
-And I'll put my best foot forward
Committing to making the best effort or taking the best step forward despite the situation.
Put my best foot forward
Repeating the commitment to putting forward the best effort.
With a wealth of disappointment stacking high
Experiencing a significant amount of disappointment that accumulates.
On a foundation built on who's to blame
Disappointment piling up on a foundation of assigning blame.
It's leveled when you find the victims
When the victims are identified, the situation becomes equalized as the victims and perpetrators are revealed to be the same.
And the perpetrators are one in the same
Realizing that those harmed and those causing harm are essentially the same individuals or entities.
Standing on the edge of oblivion
Reiterating the state of being at the edge of oblivion.
Standing on the edge of oblivion
-Standing on the edge of oblivion
-And I'll put my best foot forward
Committing to making the best effort or taking the best step forward despite the situation.
Put my best foot forward
Repeating the commitment to putting forward the best effort.
