Lyrics
Have you ever fallen
Expressing the experience of falling.
Into an inner void
Describing an internal emptiness or void.
Is the sound of silence
Questioning if silence is the predominant sound.
All you hear
Asking if silence is the only thing audible.
Is it day or night
Pondering whether it's day or night.
Is it anything between
Questioning the state between day and night.
I have to know
Expressing a need for knowledge.
Is it love or hate
Posing a question about the nature of feelings (love or hate).
We can’t live forever
Highlighting the impermanence of life.
If we could we would
If eternal life were possible, it would be chosen.
Be as one together
Desiring unity and togetherness.
Ah ha ha
An exclamation, possibly expressing emotion or realization.
All too soon we will be gone
Anticipating a departure in the near future.
Do you feel like I do
Asking if the listener shares a sense of abandonment.
Abandoned from it all
Feeling isolated or disconnected from everything.
Is a growing darkness
Noticing the encroaching darkness in one's surroundings.
All you see
Questioning if darkness is the only visible element.
Is it day or night
Repeating the uncertainty of day or night.
Is it love or hate
Repeating the inquiry about love or hate.
Is it anything between
Repeating the query about the state in between.
We can’t live forever
Reiterating the fleeting nature of life.
If we could we would
Expressing the desire for unity and oneness.
Be as one together
Repeating the aspiration for togetherness.
Ah ha ha
An exclamation, potentially emphasizing the transience of life.
All too soon we will be gone
Restating the imminent departure.
We can’t live forever
Emphasizing the inevitability of mortality.
Be as one together
Reiterating the desire for unity and togetherness.
We can’t live forever
Repeating the acknowledgment of the finite nature of life.
We can’t live forever
Stating the impossibility of living forever.
