We All Fall Down
Navigating Life's Ward: A Symphony of Hope Amidst Despair
Lyrics
There's a stench of disenchantment as you walk into the ward
There is a feeling of disillusionment upon entering the hospital ward.
Everybody in a bed is nearly dead or just dead bored
Patients in their beds are either close to death or simply extremely bored.
Not much you can do when you are plugged in by a cord
Being connected to medical equipment via a cord limits one's actions.
Keeping out the cupboard where the body bags are stored
Avoiding the cupboard where body bags are stored, a grim reminder of mortality.
They've drained off several litres but they need a couple more
Medical procedures have drained several liters of fluids, but more is needed.
Wondering will this ever end and will they ever find a cure
Contemplating if the suffering will ever end and if a cure will be discovered.
Even if they did would they release it to the poor?
Raising questions about the accessibility of a cure, especially for the poor.
You know that you can never be sure
Uncertainty prevails in the face of the unpredictable nature of the situation.
As long as you're still standing
Despite uncertainties, solidarity is expressed with those still standing.
I'll hold your hand while they play God
A commitment to support and comfort while facing medical challenges.
As long as there's still life left
Encouragement to hold on as long as there is still life remaining.
Just hold your breathe and let's play God
Suggesting facing challenges with determination and resilience.
All the coughing and wheezing from the lady to the right
Observing the distressing sounds of illness from neighboring patients.
Combined with constant sounds of beeping means no sleeping in the night
Continuous beeping, a symbol of medical monitoring, disrupts sleep.
Close your eyes for too long you will give someone a fright
Caution against closing eyes for too long to avoid causing alarm.
Just make sure you stay out the light
Advising to stay away from the light, possibly a metaphor for death.
As long as you're still standing
Reiteration of support for those still physically standing amidst challenges.
I'll hold your hand while they play God
Continued commitment to providing comfort while facing uncertainties.
As long as there's still life left
Encouragement to hold on as long as there is still vitality.
Just hold your breathe and let's play God
Emphasizing the act of facing challenges with resilience and determination.
As long as you're still standing
Reiteration of support for those physically enduring the hardships.
I'll hold your hand while they play God
Continued commitment to providing comfort during challenging times.
As long as there's still life left
Encouragement to hold on as long as there is still vitality.
Just hold your breathe and let's play God
Emphasizing the act of facing challenges with resilience and determination.
