Lyrics
Could it stay
Contemplating the possibility of a situation enduring.
Or was the war meant to be waged in my head
Questioning if the conflict is internal rather than external.
Are we so indecisive
Reflecting on a tendency to be indecisive.
We struggle through the things we've come to dread
Struggling with anticipated difficulties.
And everything I've known so far
Realizing that one's understanding of reality is distorted.
An illusion painted deep inside my head
Acknowledging that perceptions are influenced by illusions.
And all the things I've pushed aside
Ignoring certain issues that resurface later.
Seem to come back as we approach the end
Past neglected problems resurfacing as the end approaches.
A different me is all I see
Expressing a desire for personal transformation.
All I see
Reaffirming the longing for change.
To come to terms with what impends
Attempting to accept impending challenges.
We try and we try but we both know how
Struggling despite awareness of the inevitable outcome.
Both know how
Acknowledging shared awareness of an approaching end.
Our story will come to a bitter end
Expecting a painful conclusion to the shared story.
So could I ask for much
Pleading for another opportunity.
A second chance to be there
Hoping for a chance to be present in a critical moment.
When it all just fades away
Fearing a disconnection from the unfolding events.
Or will I fall out of touch?
Questioning the stability of personal connections.
The ground is shaking
Feeling unsettled and uncertain about the future.
As we chase our numbered days
Experiencing turmoil in the face of limited time.
And everything we've known so far
Realizing that collective perceptions are distorted.
Are illusions painted deep inside our heads
Shared illusions influencing collective understanding.
And all the things we pushed aside
Issues avoided collectively returning as the end nears.
Always come back as we approach the end
Problems set aside collectively resurfacing.
A different me is all I see
Desiring personal transformation in the face of the end.
All I see
Reiterating the longing for personal change.
To come to terms with what impends
Struggling to accept upcoming challenges collectively.
We try and we try but we both know how
Shared awareness of the inevitable conclusion.
Both know how
Acknowledging shared awareness of an approaching end.
Our story will come to a bitter end
Expecting a painful conclusion to the collective story.
I never get a break
Expressing frustration at a lack of respite.
"Hope is dead" I don't believe that is the truth
Rejecting the belief that hope is entirely lost.
Then I often ask myself will I believe
Contemplating the belief in hope and personal agency.
Or is there nothing I can do
Questioning the effectiveness of personal efforts.
A different me is all I see
Desiring personal transformation in the face of the end.
All I see
Reiterating the longing for personal change.
To come to terms with what impends
Struggling to accept upcoming challenges collectively.
We try and we try but we both know how
Shared awareness of the inevitable conclusion.
Both know how
Acknowledging shared awareness of an approaching end.
Our story will come to a bitter end
Expecting a painful conclusion to the collective story.
A different me is what I see
Desiring personal transformation in the face of collapsing circumstances.
As the walls start to cave in
As the situation becomes dire, the need for personal change is emphasized.
We try and we try but we both know how
Despite efforts, a painful conclusion to the collective story is inevitable.
Our story will come to a bitter end
Acknowledging the unavoidable end to the shared narrative.
I'll never see you again
Expressing the permanence of separation.
