Lyrics

Oh

Expressing surprise or realization

How peaceful it feels

Describing a sense of peace

Oh, how it feels against my face

Emphasizing the sensation against the speaker's face

Oh, what a long haul

Referring to a challenging journey or experience


You brought me here for this

Questioning the purpose of being brought to a specific situation

I see nothing but disaster

Perceiving only negative outcomes or catastrophe

Now I'm taking you with me

Deciding to bring someone else along in the difficulties

Taking you with me

Reiterating the intention to involve someone else in the struggle

A transparent scenery

Describing a clear but temporary view

That comes as fast as it leaves

Highlighting the fleeting nature of the clear view


Now my eyes flash with white

Experiencing a sudden realization or revelation

It's settling in with all the flickering

The realization settling in amid uncertainty or instability

Here again and again

Repeating a cycle of being in the same situation


The floor is more fitting for

Suggesting that the floor is more appropriate for the speaker's situation

The floor is more fitting for

Reiterating the suitability of the floor for the speaker

My face

Imagining the face as better suited to the floor


Here again? Here again?

Expressing weariness or frustration with repetition

This is getting old, this is getting old

Acknowledging the repetitiveness and its impact

Here again? Here again?

Repeating the weariness and frustration

I am being watched

Feeling observed or monitored

This is overwhelming

Describing an intense and overpowering experience

Paranoia

Referring to an irrational fear or suspicion

Paranoia

Reiterating the presence of paranoia


As you dig your feet in

Symbolic action of resistance or defiance

I will sink my teeth in the floor

Symbolizing a struggle against the situation

While I lay here alone

Expressing a state of isolation or loneliness


As the light begins to breach the border

Noticing the beginning of a change or transformation

While I lay here alone

Reiterating the sense of isolation during change


Aware

Acknowledging and being conscious of each step

Of every step

Contrasting with being completely unaware

I'm not aware

Admitting a lack of awareness

At all

Emphasizing a complete lack of awareness

Aware

Regaining awareness of each step

Of every step

Repeating the regained awareness

I'm not aware

Stating the ongoing lack of awareness

At all

Emphasizing the persistence of unawareness


Black

Describing a sudden change or contrast

Flash white

Reiterating the sudden change with visual imagery

Black

Repeating the contrast with visual elements

Flash white

Emphasizing the awakening or realization

I am awake

Confirming a state of alertness or consciousness
