Life Sentence
Echoes of a Fractured Existence
Lyrics
Through rough and painful snatches
Struggling through difficult and painful experiences.
Of an axe cut life,
Life is likened to a series of harsh blows, like cuts from an axe.
Old demons try to take place.
Previous struggles or challenges resurface as old demons.
All his life, spinning on endless and tortured roads,
A lifetime spent navigating challenging and agonizing paths.
Every day in his loss, passenger,
Every day, existing as a passenger in the experience of loss.
He strokes and sinks,
Struggling and sinking into difficulties.
Into the tracks of time.
Progressing through the imprints of time.
Hoping to see the end after each step.
Hopeful to reach an end, despite ongoing challenges.
Can you feel the rain through your veins?
Metaphorical questioning about feeling the emotional impact of life's struggles.
But the clock is like this,
Time is portrayed as distorted, impacting human experiences.
Warped sex that defiles our bruised flesh.
Describing time as a destructive force affecting the body and spirit.
Leaving us with our bleeding scars.
The enduring effects of life's struggles are visible through scars.
Try to close the doors
Encouraging to shut out sources of remorse and reflection on past actions.
That snap you into regrets.
Advising to eliminate actions that lead to regrets.
Get rid of those plagues that control you.
Suggesting liberation from negative influences that dominate one's life.
Get rid of this fucking life that spits on your face.
Expressing a desire to escape a life that brings humiliation.
Now too old,
Commenting on the weariness and age catching up.
Your life is a wound too much rotten.
Life is characterized as a decaying wound, burdened by excessive pain.
Life is a fall.
Life is a continuous descent or decline.
Since the first scream,
From the first moments of existence, life is depicted as a plunge.
You're diving.
Metaphorically diving into the challenges of life.
Life is a fall,
Reiteration of life as a fall since birth.
Since the first scream,
Life is a perpetual decline from the moment of birth.
Why did you try to rise?
Raising the question of why one would attempt to overcome life's challenges.
