Lyrics
Is this a homicide? Cause, it feels like suicide
Questioning whether the situation is a murder or self-inflicted harm, metaphorically describing the feeling of being pulled down.
That keeps on pulling me down, pulling me down while, there's pieces of them all around
Feeling continually dragged down while witnessing fragments or remnants of something lost or destroyed.
Our lives, have been signed on the dotted lines
Life commitments have been finalized or decided upon.
Streaming to me every night, it will subdue the brain and tear out the heart
Receiving continuous messages or influences that suppress rational thought and deeply hurt emotions.
I feel like there's been a distraction, a chain reaction, a human infraction
Sense of disturbance caused by a series of events, possibly related to human error or wrongdoing.
Of the poor, of the sick, of the weak... of the tired, the hungry, the meek
Listing various marginalized groups (poor, sick, weak, tired, hungry, meek) affected by the mentioned disturbance.
Shadows of lives grow, the sands of time will blow
The representation of life's fleeting nature and the relentless passage of time.
You don't know, what you don't know. Not dead - enough to show
Implying ignorance about certain aspects; not fully aware but also not completely lifeless or inactive.
The breath in our lungs, stink with decay. Crystallized with the lies of the day
The breath symbolizes the decay caused by falsehoods encountered throughout the day.
So close to the ones you betrayed, but never sleep in the waste that you lay
Being in close proximity to those betrayed but unable to rest peacefully amidst the resulting waste or consequences.
I feel like there's been a distraction, a chain reaction, a human infraction
Reiterating the sense of disturbance caused by a series of events, possibly related to human error or wrongdoing.
Of the poor, of the sick, of the weak... of the tired, the hungry, the meek
Repeating the list of marginalized groups affected by the disturbance.
Shadows of lives grow, the sands of time will blow
Reiterating the transient nature of life and the passage of time.
You don't know, what you don't know. Where did we go, where did we go
Expressing ignorance about certain aspects and questioning where things went wrong.
Where do we go, are we too dead to know
Contemplating whether there's an inability to comprehend due to being numb or lifeless.
Mechanized mental restraints. Disease
Referring to mental restrictions imposed by mechanisms or systems; possibly hinting at societal constraints.
Mesmerized - with blood on their breath
Being captivated or fascinated by individuals with violence or harm on their conscience.
Somnambulant - unconscious confidence closing in
Referring to an unaware yet confident state that is approaching.
Redefining- complex illusions. These are the times, and the signs everywhere
Reconstructing or redefining intricate deceptions; highlighting the prevalent signs of troubled times.
It's obvious there's been a distraction, a chain reaction, a human infraction
Reiterating the sense of disturbance caused by a series of events, possibly related to human error or wrongdoing.
Of the poor, of the sick, of the weak, of the tired, the hungry, the meek
Repeating the list of marginalized groups affected by the disturbance.
Of the broken, the hopeless, and scared
Adding to the list of affected individuals, emphasizing their vulnerability and fear.
These are the times and the signs everywhere
Reaffirming the presence of troubled times and distress signals prevailing everywhere.
