Hourglass
Innocence Lost: Unveiling the Hourglass of Guilt in The Hush Sound's Melody
Lyrics
As we sift through the hourglass
Reflecting on the passage of time, using the metaphor of an hourglass.
We realize that an hour's passed
Acknowledging that time has passed, possibly with a sense of realization or regret.
And not a person here is innocent
Commenting on the lack of innocence among the people involved.
We're both as guilty as a sin
Expressing a mutual guilt, suggesting a shared responsibility for a wrongdoing.
It must have rained all through the night
Describing unfavorable weather conditions, possibly symbolizing difficulties or obstacles.
The tires just couldn't grip right
Indicating challenging driving conditions due to rain, creating tension or instability.
So I took another long sip
Turning to a coping mechanism, such as drinking, in response to the challenging situation.
And wiped away my chapped lips
Physically reacting to the weather, highlighting discomfort and the need for relief.
This is how it ends
Declaring a resolution or outcome, possibly implying a negative conclusion.
We believe every lie
Acknowledging a tendency to believe falsehoods, indicating a lack of discernment.
And say we'll be friends
Promising to remain friends despite the challenges or deceptions.
How long will it last
Pondering the duration of the friendship or relationship before it falls apart.
Before we scratch all the scripts
Considering the need for a significant change or departure from established patterns.
And we rework the cast
Suggesting a desire to revise the narrative or dynamic between the individuals involved.
As the hour met the minute hand
Referencing the passing of time in relation to the hour and minute hands of a clock.
We kept racing through this foreign land
Continuing a journey without clear guidance, possibly emphasizing a lack of purpose.
With no direction or a telephone
Describing a state of being together but isolated, possibly emotionally.
Together we were all alone
Highlighting a sense of shared solitude and the absence of external communication.
That's when the puzzle was finally pieced
Reaching a moment of understanding or resolution in a complex situation.
We compromised until our bodies siezed
Compromising in a way that leads to physical and emotional exhaustion.
To some we seem like colder creatures, well
Noting a perception of colder or harsher behavior from others, possibly due to their experiences.
We were warm until we went to hell
Contrasting a previous warmth with a negative transformation, possibly linked to negative experiences.
Cast the first stone
Invoking a biblical reference, suggesting a call for judgment or condemnation.
Let's pretend that we don't have a
Proposing a scenario of denial, pretending to forget or ignore a difficult past.
Past the worst one
Emphasizing a desire to move beyond the worst aspects of the past.
Forbid, forget, forget that you exist
Encouraging the act of forgetting someone's existence, possibly to cope with difficulties.
