Era Prison: Unraveling Life's Deceptions and Struggles
Lyrics
Why can't you take up, the lies that you made up
Encouraging someone to confront and accept the lies they've fabricated.
we'll go down with you down with you down with you, until you fall
Expressing solidarity and commitment to accompany the person through difficulties until their downfall.
why don't you burn up, the strife that you cook up
Suggesting to confront and overcome internal conflicts or struggles.
we'll go down with you down with you down with you, until you're gone,
Reiterating the commitment to stay with the person until their departure or demise.
we don't take it easy, we don't take it often, we take our chances in the offing, we take soundings with no prompting
Describing a proactive and risk-taking approach to life, not taking things easy or often, and facing challenges without external influence.
we don't speak it lightly, we can't speak it often, when the minutes are the warden, and the motions are all orphans
Highlighting the seriousness of communication when time is limited, possibly referring to the constraints of life.
why don't you take up, the life that you made up
Echoing the earlier encouragement to confront and embrace one's created life.
we'll go down with you down with you down with it, until it crawls
Commitment to support through difficult times until the situation improves.
why don't you stand up, the people you built up
Encouraging accountability for the influence one has on others.
we'll go down with you down with you down with you, until you're gone
Reiterating commitment to stand by someone until they are no longer present.
there's, just room, for the ones we choose
Expressing limited space for chosen individuals in one's life.
there's, just room, for ones we lose
Acknowledging the inevitability of losing some individuals in life.
obvious colors and obvious places, we drift from intentions, and drift from our accidents
Describing the unpredictable and unintentional nature of life's course, departing from initial plans.
down to us, down to us, down with us until the days that keep us keep us coming up
Expressing commitment to endure challenges until they are overcome.
coming off
Indicating a transition or completion of a phase.
where we stand now -- just two people caught resting, we'll be off again before long, off before era prisons are closing,
Observing a moment of rest before resuming a journey, anticipating a change in the societal structure (era prisons closing).
and closing, and closing us out into something we can't see and can't call up
Continuing the theme of societal change and uncertainty about the future.
they'll always look at you through the windows of what you were before all the changes that came to be more to you, more to you,
Reflecting on how others perceive an individual based on their past, acknowledging the inevitability of change.
more to you, than all the people that wander off, well-fed and dressed-up
Comparing the significance of personal growth to those who remain stagnant but well-presented.
we wander the streets of these bedrooms a stroll through the last of the words there are no more to move around move with you,
Describing a journey through personal spaces and experiences, emphasizing a shared path until a certain point is reached.
move with you, move with you, until it's there
Reiterating commitment to stay with someone until a specific outcome or point in time.
