Lyrics
What are we fighting for?
Questioning the purpose of the ongoing conflict.
Why does it matter anymore,
Raising doubt about the significance of the situation.
If all of our clothes and dreams are laying on the floor?
Expressing a sense of desolation with scattered possessions and shattered dreams.
Crying for something more
Conveying emotional distress and a yearning for something more.
A reason, an open door
Seeking a purpose or opportunity, emphasizing the need for an open door.
We're lost in this chasm, starling
Feeling disoriented and overwhelmed, using "chasm" and "starling" metaphorically.
Can't keep up with the rhythm
Struggling to keep up with the pace of life or a situation.
So crude
Describing the situation as raw and unrefined.
Tragically lovesick, the feeling’s so basic
Characterizing love as tragic and basic, reflecting on the harshness of emotions.
So cruel
Describing the situation as harsh and unkind.
Nasty and crooked, the feeling’s so
Depicting a negative and twisted emotion, possibly related to the previous line.
Hollow, so hollow
Using "hollow" to describe a sense of emptiness or lack of substance.
If lungs still breathe, the heart still dreams
Linking the act of breathing and dreaming to the vitality of life.
Then why does everything
Pondering why everything seems devoid of meaning or fulfillment.
Seem so hollow, so hollow
Reiterating the emptiness and lack of substance in the current situation.
If lungs still breathe, the heart still dreams
Connecting the continued existence of lungs and dreams with a sense of hollowness.
Then why does everything
Expressing confusion about the emptiness despite the vital aspects of life.
Seem so hollow
Repeating the theme of emptiness and questioning its persistence.
What are we waiting for?
Posing a question about the purpose of waiting.
We’re rabid and crazy bored
Describing a restless and bored state of mind.
You know deep down we’re all rotten to the core
Acknowledging the inherent flaws or negativity within individuals.
You’re so hard to ignore
Highlighting the difficulty of ignoring someone or something.
You’re like a candy store
Comparing someone or something to a tempting but potentially harmful entity.
We’ve been so well behaved
Reflecting on past obedience or conformity.
It’s time for our reward
Anticipating a deserved reward after a period of good behavior.
So crude
Repeating the description of the situation as raw and unrefined.
Tragically lovesick, the feeling’s so basic
Reiterating the tragic and basic nature of love.
So cruel
Repeating the description of the situation as harsh and unkind.
Nasty and crooked, the feeling’s so

Hollow, so hollow
Repeating the theme of hollowness, emphasizing the emptiness.
If lungs still breathe, the heart still dreams
Linking the act of breathing and dreaming to the vitality of life once again.
Then why does everything
Questioning the reason for the persisting sense of emptiness.
Seem so hollow, so hollow
Reiterating the pervasive hollowness despite the essential aspects of life.
If lungs still breathe, the heart still dreams
