Lyrics

I could crack the sky and shake the earth

I possess great power and influence, capable of extraordinary feats.

by laying my hands

Expressing the potential to create change through action.

But i won’t do anything, I’ll just sit and weep

Choosing not to use my abilities, opting for sorrowful contemplation.

Your silhouette disappears in a bottomless sunset

Your image fades away amid an endless sunset.

and the buildings flatten out slowly in a full blackness

Urban structures gradually disappear into darkness.

These hands of mine that I don’t recognize

Feeling detached from my own hands, overwhelmed and confused.

shredded and barren , I feel dazed

My hands are damaged and unproductive, causing disorientation.

I wish I fainted in the bath tub

Expressing a desire for a state of unconsciousness, possibly to escape reality.

and opened my eyes in the ocean

Imagining a transformation where I wake up surrounded by the vastness of the ocean.

I wish our love was a multiverse,

Desiring a love that transcends realities and can be shared.

an augmented reality to be shared

Reflecting on the nature of reality, acknowledging its ambiguity.

But you know everything is or isn’t

Recognizing the limits of understanding, transitioning from action to observation.

and once I had focus I can only be witness

Having lost focus, now only capable of being a passive observer.

Cause what I’ve done is unspeakable

Acknowledging committing unspeakable acts and the resulting silence.

so there’s nothing that we have to talk about

Rejecting the need for conversation due to the gravity of past actions.

I’ll take a long walk out on a whim

Choosing a spontaneous and unpredictable journey, possibly as a form of escapism.

as indeed I always do everything

Embracing a pattern of impulsive behavior in various aspects of life.

Ruthless means arbitrary

Asserting that ruthless actions are arbitrary and lack specific justification.

I gave you a clear example of this

Providing an example of arbitrary behavior, perhaps related to a past action.

I am something you won’t miss

Acknowledging that I am not someone you will remember or long for.

My days are like interlinked cells without windows

Describing a monotonous and confined existence without hope or escape.

passing door after door I’m still walking in circles

Continuing in a repetitive cycle, encountering closed doors and no apparent way out.

There’s no way out, I will sew my mouth shut

Expressing a sense of hopelessness, contemplating silence as a response.

A girl walks home late at night

is rising up high

Emphasizing the heightened sense of smell and its significance.

her nose is thin

Observing a physical feature, possibly questioning one's own existence.

where the hell have I been?

Expressing confusion and disorientation about personal experiences.

Most of the time I wouldn’t have cared

Indicating indifference to many situations but making an exception tonight.

But tonight I’ll decide what is remarkable and what’s fair

Claiming the authority to determine what is noteworthy and fair.

I will pretend I am somebody else

Choosing to adopt a different persona, possibly to cope with unexpected encounters.

cause I didn’t expect to find you there

Finding someone unexpectedly and adjusting to the surprise.

I was made to erase all the memories I’m keeping

Acknowledging a purpose to erase memories, perhaps as a self-protective mechanism.

I was built to block out everything that’s stable or familiar

I only have myself and I’m not even sure about this
