In the Trimming of the Herd
Unveiling Life's Tapestry: In the Trimming of the Herd
Lyrics
In the trimming of the herd
In the process of reducing the population
Who are they and who are you?
Questioning the identity of individuals in the context of the culling
Can they see what keeps you warm?
Wondering if others can perceive the source of your comfort
Can they see what’s burning you?
Questioning whether others can see the internal struggles or pain
In the trimming of the herd
Continuing the theme of population reduction
Who picks up what has been lost?
Who is responsible for retrieving what has been lost in the process?
And who changes what we are?
Questioning who has the power to alter our fundamental nature
Into something that will cost
Transforming into something with consequences
Oh why must I always be the thief?
Expressing a recurrent feeling of being a thief
Don’t say love, when you’re just talking about grief
Advising against using the word 'love' when actually referring to grief
In the trimming of the herd
Reiterating the theme of population reduction
When the sky cracks open dreams
When challenges or difficulties arise
Where the sea touches the night
Referring to the meeting point of the sea and the night sky
Will it tear us at the seams?
Questioning if challenges will strain relationships
In the trimming of the herd
Returning to the theme of population reduction
Love and fear and jealousy
Mentioning emotions like love, fear, and jealousy
God I miss you when it’s quiet
Expressing longing for someone during moments of silence
But I can’t stay for memory
Unable to remain solely for the sake of memories
Oh why must I always be the thief
Reiterating the feeling of being a thief in various situations
Spending time in all these places I don’t need
Spending time in unnecessary or undesired places
