Not Once
Breaking the Silence: Unveiling Life's Addictions in 'Not Once'
Lyrics
Start bloody listening
Expressing the urgency to pay attention
The silence is crippling
Emphasizing the oppressive nature of silence
It's always the first thing to go wrong
Highlighting how silence often precedes problems
It's just a prescription
Suggesting a remedy, possibly medication
No need for description
Stating that the remedy doesn't require explanation
To feed an addiction to go on
Implying a dependency on the remedy to continue
Not once did the rules apply
Asserting a disregard for established rules
Not once without an alibi
Denying adherence to rules without justification
Not once did sparks fly
Not experiencing romantic sparks
Not once was there a long goodbye
No prolonged farewell in relationships
Talk is over rated
Downplaying the value of talk
But it can't be over stated
Emphasizing the importance of talk despite downplaying
Something that was once read by someone
Referring to something previously read by someone
Not once did the rules apply
Reiterating a disregard for established rules
Not once without an alibi
Repeating a lack of adherence to rules without justification
Not once did sparks fly
Reiterating a lack of romantic sparks
Not once was there a long goodbye
Repeating a lack of prolonged farewells in relationships
Time doesn't stand still
Highlighting the inevitability of time passing
Using sheer force of will
Suggesting an attempt to control time through willpower
Waiting for it's last kill and then home
Waiting for time's final act before returning home
Time has no friends seen through the lens
Indicating that time has no loyal companions
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever, emphasizing impermanence
Time has no friends seen through the lens
Reiterating that time has no loyal companions
Nothing ever lasts forever
Emphasizing the transient nature of everything
Not once did the rules apply
Repeating a disregard for established rules
Not once without an alibi
Repeating a lack of adherence to rules without justification
Not once did sparks fly
Reiterating a lack of romantic sparks
Not once was there a long goodbye
Repeating a lack of prolonged farewells in relationships
Start bloody listening
Reiterating the urgency to pay attention
The silence is crippling
Emphasizing the oppressive nature of silence
It's always the first thing to go wrong
Highlighting how silence often precedes problems
It's just a prescription
Suggesting a remedy, possibly medication
No need for description
Stating that the remedy doesn't require explanation
To feed an addiction to go on
Implying a dependency on the remedy to continue
Talk is over rated
Downplaying the value of talk
But it can't be over stated
Emphasizing the importance of talk despite downplaying
Something that was once read by someone
Referring to something previously read by someone
Time doesn't stand still
Highlighting the inevitability of time passing
Using sheer force of will
Suggesting an attempt to control time through willpower
Waiting for it's last kill and then home
Waiting for time's final act before returning home
