Last Day of the Year
Embracing Illusions: The Last Day's Deceptive Dance
Lyrics
Day by day I’ll watch the fade away
Reflecting on the gradual disappearance or decline day by day.
Take the blame and walk away again
Accepting responsibility and choosing to leave a situation once again.
But you won’t hear me pray today
Expressing a lack of intention to pray on this particular day.
And you won’t hear me say your name
Stating that the person addressed will not hear the speaker mention their name.
Day by day I’ll let you get away
Allowing someone to escape or letting go of them gradually each day.
Trace the veins back to where we began
Tracing the origins or history of a relationship back to the starting point.
But you won’t hear me pray today
Reiterating the decision not to pray on this day.
And you won’t hear me say your name
Reaffirming that the person's name will not be spoken by the speaker.
I believe, I believe in a lie
Expressing belief in a falsehood or deception.
I think we’re gonna make it out alive
Optimistically thinking that they will survive or overcome challenges.
You took my hands and then said goodbye
Recalling a moment when someone took the speaker's hands and said goodbye.
But we’re not gonna make it out this time
Contradicting the earlier optimism, stating that they won't make it out this time.
Day by day I’ll watch the fade away
Repeating the observation of a gradual fading away over time.
Take the blame and walk away again
Reiterating the willingness to take blame and leave a situation again.
But you won’t hear me pray today
Emphasizing the decision not to pray on this specific day.
And you won’t hear me say your name
Reaffirming that the person's name will not be mentioned by the speaker.
I believe, I believe in a lie
Repeating the theme of belief in a falsehood or deception.
I think we’re gonna make it out alive
Maintaining the optimistic belief in survival despite challenges.
You took my hands and then said goodbye
Recalling a moment of parting where hands were taken, and farewells were said.
But we’re not gonna make it out this time
Stating again that survival is unlikely this time.
I believe, I believe in a lie
Repeating the belief in a deception or falsehood.
I think we’re gonna make it out alive
Echoing the optimism about making it out alive despite challenges.
You took my hands and then said goodbye
Reiterating a past event of hands being taken and goodbyes being exchanged.
But we’re not gonna make it out this time
Emphasizing the conviction that survival is not possible this time.
