Lyrics
It won't happen like you think
Things will not unfold as anticipated
It will happen in the blink
Events will transpire suddenly and unexpectedly
Of an eye
Rapid occurrence, likened to the speed of an eye blink
Catch you by surprise
Will catch you off guard
It won't happen like you think
Reiteration of the unpredictability of the situation
It won't happen like you think
Emphasis on the deviation from expected outcomes
It will happen in the blink
Repetition of the sudden nature of forthcoming events
Of an eye
Reiterating the quick and surprising turn of events
Catch you by surprise
Highlighting the element of surprise in the unfolding events
It won't happen like you think
Continued emphasis on the unexpected nature of what's to come
I'm not ready
Expressing a lack of readiness or preparedness
I'm not ready
Repetition to emphasize the unprepared state
I'm not ready
Further underlining the lack of readiness
I was spinning in circles
Describing a state of confusion or disorientation
Staring at the sun
Metaphorically describing a period of confusion or uncertainty
I was spinning in circles
Repetition of the disoriented state while gazing at the sun
Staring at the sun
Continued reference to being lost or confused
Refused to sing
Choosing not to express grief or sorrow
My mourning song
Rejecting a traditional expression of sadness through song
Inject my veins
Metaphorically injecting intensity or passion into life
Lay me embalmed
Metaphor for accepting preservation or stagnation
Blinded myself
Willfully ignoring or avoiding personal losses
To my own loss
Choosing not to acknowledge personal setbacks
It won't happen like you think
Reiteration of the unexpected nature of upcoming events
It will happen in the blink
Emphasis on the suddenness of unfolding circumstances
Of an eye
Repeating the idea of events happening swiftly
Catch you by surprise
Stressing the surprise element in the unfolding situation
It won't happen like you think
Final emphasis on the deviation from anticipated outcomes
