Ladder
Eternal Reflections: The Unraveling Journey of Ladder's Lyrics
Lyrics
Oh, those days were sweet
Reflecting on past, nostalgically recalling sweet memories
You loved and left from sheet to sheet
Describing a pattern of fleeting relationships
Never did them right
Acknowledging past mistakes and misjudgments
Insatiable your appetite
Highlighting insatiable and unfulfilled desires
Now it's just sad, those salad days wilted and frayed
Expressing sadness over the deterioration of youthful, carefree times
Yes, that wave did crest, so long ago you must confess
Recognizing the passage of time and the irreversible change
And now you're tired
Describing weariness and exhaustion
You're so tired
-Try to fill the hole that's inside of you
Seeking to fill an emotional void
Think of all you spent but you did not gather
Regret over past expenditures without gains
When you're all alone, then you'll see it's true
Emphasizing the truth revealed in solitude
What you need's someone who can hold your ladder
Advocating the need for supportive companionship
Now the end is near
Contemplating mortality and physical decline
Eternal darkness soon appears
-Your body's wracked with pain
-Your light is in its final wane
-But who can you call
Questioning the availability of solace in memories
No memories as remedies
-Yes, that wave did crest
Reiteration of the irreversible nature of the past
So long ago you must confess
-And now you're tired
Reiteration of weariness and fatigue
You're so tired
-Try to fill the hole that's inside of you
Repeating the quest to fill an emotional void
Think of all you spent, but you did not gather
Recalling unproductive past efforts
When you're all alone, then you'll see it's true
Emphasizing the truth found in solitude
What you need's someone who can hold your ladder
Advocating the necessity of a supportive presence
And now you're tired
Reiteration of weariness and fatigue
You're so tired
-Try to fill the hole that's inside of you
Repetition of the theme of seeking emotional fulfillment
Think of all you spent, but you did not gather
-When you're all alone, then you'll see it's true
-What you need's someone who can hold your ladder
-And now you're tired
Reiteration of weariness and fatigue
You're so tired
-Try to fill the hole that's inside of you
Continued repetition of the theme of seeking emotional fulfillment
Think of all you spent, but you did not gather
-When you're all alone, then you'll see it's true
-What you need's someone who can hold your ladder
-Try to fill the hole that's inside of you
Emphasizing the ongoing search for emotional support
Think of all you spent, but you did not gather
-When you're all alone, then you'll see it's true
-What you need's someone who can hold your ladder
-Try to fill the hole that's inside of you
Final repetition of the theme, underscoring its significance
Think of all you spent, but you did not gather
-When you're all alone, then you'll see it's true
-What you need's someone who can hold your ladder
