Pavement Age
Evolving Shadows: The Unseen Struggles in 'Pavement Age'
Lyrics
Well if you still can't stand and you still can't talk
If you can't stand or talk, and you don't care or feel good enough.
And you still don't care or feel good enough
Expressing a belief in a different force as a cause, likening it to religion but suggesting it could be worse.
Well I believe in the cause of a different force
Asserting knowledge about what comes next while warning of future regret due to predicting the future.
It's a lot like religion but it could be worse
Anticipating a state of rest for the body once control is gained, even when nothing is left of the person.
And you seem to be saying that you know what's next
Expressing a desire for change, repeated several times.
But your predicting the future, you're gonna regret
-Once I have control won't my body rest
-And I'll still say so when there is nothing left of me
-Oh no I can change, oh no I can change
Repeating the desire for change, emphasizing the speaker's belief in the possibility of change.
Oh no I can change, oh no I can change
-Oh no I can change, oh no I can change
-Oh no I can change, oh no
-We're in the land of the fallen the face in the sand
Describing a situation in a fallen land with people ignoring the truth and having blood on their hands.
Told us the truth the bloods on our hands
Highlighting the proof of a dire situation that is still being ignored.
Holding the proof now we still ignore
Pleading for forgiveness from God for not knowing or seeing the truth, admitting to being brought to their knees, and acknowledging the ongoing shame and guilt.
For all peace and love aren't enough anymore
-Forgive us god, forgive us please
-We didn't know we couldn't see
-The truth never thought of we're brought to our knees
-And the shame of life, the guilt of peace live on
Oh no I can change, oh no I can change
Reiteration of the desire for change, suggesting an acknowledgment of personal flaws and a willingness to change.
Oh no I can change, oh no I can change
-Oh no I can change, oh no I can change
-Oh no I can change, oh no
