It Just Came to Pieces in My Hands
Rise and Fall: Unveiling the Fragility of Pride
Lyrics
I stood as tall as a mountain
I felt very confident and strong, like a mountain.
I never really thought about the drop
I didn't consider the potential downfall or failure.
I trod over rocks to get there
I overcame obstacles to reach a certain position or achievement.
Just so I could stand on top
I worked hard to reach a pinnacle or the top of something.
Clumsy and blind I stumbled
I made mistakes and moved forward without clarity.
As I crawled through desert sands
I faced challenges, possibly feeling lost and confused.
I didn't stop to think about the consequences
I didn't consider the potential outcomes or results.
As it came to pieces in my hands
Everything fell apart unexpectedly.
Tu tu are you, tu tu are you, tu tu are you, tu
Repetitive phrase, possibly symbolizing confusion or inner turmoil.
Tu tu are you, tu tu are you, tu tu are you, tu
-I thought I was a maritime marvel
I believed I was exceptional, particularly in maritime affairs.
I believed that I ruled the waves
I thought I had control and influence.
All I could say is time is motion
I believed time was always moving forward.
And every effort others made I would save
I felt I could save or preserve the efforts of others.
I was a shit stained statue
I had an inflated sense of self, but others saw me negatively.
School children would stand in awe
People, especially younger ones, were impressed by my false image.
I truly believed I was a ceiling of sky
I believed I was limitless, without considering imperfections.
Never thought about having flaws
I didn't think about having any faults or weaknesses.
Tu tu are you, tu tu are you, tu tu are you, tu
Repetitive phrase, possibly reflecting inner confusion or chaos.
Tu tu are you, tu tu are you, tu tu are you, tu
-I felt as reverent as Jesus
I felt very important and holy, like Jesus.
The sanctimony stunk
I exuded false religiousness or sanctimonious behavior.
I thought I was admiral of the missing fleet
I thought I was in control of something missing or lost.
I couldn't see that I was sunk
I couldn't realize my own failure or downfall.
I roared my pride in the darkness
I expressed my pride boldly, even in difficult times.
I scratched away at the stars
I tried to change or control things that were beyond my reach.
I thought I was lord of this crappy jungle
I believed I had power in a chaotic situation.
I should have been put behind bars
I deserved punishment for my actions.
Tu tu are you, tu tu are you, tu tu are you, tu
Repetitive phrase, possibly reflecting inner confusion or chaos.
Tu tu are you, tu tu are you, tu tu are you, tu
-But now I sit with my head in my hands
I'm filled with regret and sorrow, expressing it openly.
And wail to the weeping wall
I'm lamenting to something symbolic of sadness or despair.
The avalanche of my emotions
The overwhelming surge of my emotions captivates one person.
Holds the audience of one enthralled
I'm learning the lesson the hard way
Similar to a fall from a high position of authority.
Like a fall from command
I thought I had total control but now face the consequences.
I thought I was king of the whole wide world
I thought I had dominion over everything, but I lost it all.
But it just came to pieces in my hands
Everything fell apart despite my belief in control.
