Lyrics
Up much too late writing letters in my head
Reflecting on writing letters late at night in thought.
To far away people wouldn't know if they were dead
Addressing distant individuals, unsure of their well-being.
People far away that I once knew
Recalling people from the past who are now far away.
Some people so close you can see right through
Noting the proximity of some people, suggesting transparency.
Most people your whole life will be in between
Commenting on the pervasive influence of people throughout life.
Never know never talk to, wish you'd never seen
Expressing the ambiguity of encounters, some regrettable.
Will I become engulfed
Pondering the potential overwhelming nature of experiences.
With all I did or did not do,
Contemplating one's actions or inactions and their consequences.
What should have been what cannot be helped
Reflecting on situations beyond control and acceptance.
Sometimes the truth, so hard to stair into
Highlighting the difficulty of facing harsh realities.
Your eyes would fair better if it were the sun they were looking through
Suggesting that facing the truth might be painful.
Trapped inside this techno sphere
Feeling confined within the world of technology.
Imbalance becomes real clear
Noting that imbalance becomes apparent in this technological sphere.
The living dead walk in the streets
Metaphorically describing societal issues with "living dead" walking.
And driving in cars
Extending the metaphor to the mundane aspects of life, like driving.
Chronic fatigue
Referencing a state of constant tiredness or weariness.
We've all got ourselves on our minds
Observing self-centered thoughts prevalent in society.
Almost all of the time
Commenting on the constant preoccupation with personal concerns.
What a way to live can you pay attention
Questioning the ability to pay attention in this lifestyle.
To people far away that I once knew
Reiterating thoughts about people from the past now being distant.
Some people so close you can see right through
Re-emphasizing the transparency of some people's nature.
Most people your whole life will be in between
Restating the pervasive influence of people throughout life.
Never know never talk to, wish you'd never seen.
Reiterating the ambiguity of encounters, some best left unexperienced.
