Lyrics
With the time
Reflecting on the passage of time.
That we're given
Acknowledging the limited time available to us.
There is no second chance
Emphasizing the absence of a second opportunity.
From the womb
Metaphorically referring to birth and early experiences.
We are bludgeoned
Describing the impact of external forces on our lives.
Victims of circumstance
Expressing a sense of being at the mercy of life's events.
Not a fathom of reason
Highlighting a lack of understanding or logic in our situations.
Nor an ounce of control
Stressing a lack of influence or power over circumstances.
When it's over, It's over
Acceptance of the finality of certain experiences.
Bleeding hearts mourn our souls
Describing emotional pain and sorrow.
The cycle replays
Acknowledging the repetition of life's struggles.
Our stories untold
Reference to untold personal stories.
The void opens wide
Describing an emotional or existential void.
And swallows us whole
Using imagery of being consumed by life's challenges.
The void opens wide
Repetition for emphasis on the overwhelming nature of challenges.
And swallows us whole
-The void opens wide
-And swallows us whole
-The void opens wide
-And swallows us whole
-The void opens wide
-And swallows us whole
Reiteration of the idea that life's difficulties can consume us entirely.
