Pandora's Box
Promises Broken, Pandora's Box Opened: A Tale of Friendship's Demise
Lyrics
There was a time
Reflecting on a past time
Not so far away
Recently elapsed, but not distant
In this forest nearby
In a nearby forest
Drank a bottle of wine with my mate
Shared a bottle of wine with a friend
Sacrifice came up to our heads
Sacrificial thoughts emerged
To make friendship last
Desire to sustain friendship
Our blood ties
Emphasizing blood ties
We promised
Promises to remain connected, physically and mentally
Not to get crushed
-We promised
-Not to get smashed
-We promised
-To be in touch
-Hand to hand
-Mind to mind
Metaphorical journey through a corrupted land, referencing Sodom and Gomorrah
Through this spoiled land
-Sodom and Gomorrah
-Hand to hand
-Mind to mind
-Through this spoiled land
-Sodom and Gomorrah
-Hand to hand
-Mind to mind
-Through this spoiled land
-Sodom and Gomorrah
-Gomorrah
Reiteration of Gomorrah, emphasizing corruption
And then she came
Introduction of a disruptive force - Pandora's Box
Pandora's Box
Identification of the disruptive element
We ran away
Escape attempt and the destructive impact of Pandora's Box
Trying to hold her hand
-She knocked on the door
-Took our stronghold
-Wiped out those vows
-We became a no worth mass
-We became a no worth mass
-We became a no worth mass
-We became a no worth mass
Repetition of becoming a worthless mass
Sacrifice came up to our heads
Recurrence of sacrifice, breaking of promises, and descent into grief
To make friendship last
-Our blood ties
-We promised
-Not to get crushed
-We promised
-Not to get smashed
-We get crushed
-Grief to grief
Metaphor of a prison cell (Alcatraz) and the emotional turmoil within
Tear to tear
-Through this prison cell
-Welcome to Alcatraz
-Grief to grief
-Tear to tear
-Through this prison cell
-Welcome to Alcatraz
-Grief to grief
-Tear to tear
-Through this prison cell
-Welcome to Alcatraz
-Alcatraz
Reiteration of Alcatraz, symbolizing confinement
So that's the end
Conclusion of a once strong bond without any hopeful continuation
Of the lifetime bond
-No after-credits scene
-They're just big white words
-So that's the end
-Of the lifetime bond
-No after-credits scene
-They're just big white words
-Big white words
Reference to an absence of closure, represented by big white words
Big white words
-Big white words
-Big white words
