Lyrics

Some harm for the past

Reflecting on past harm or damage.

Others dream of at last

Some individuals dream of a better future or resolution.

Days continue

Continuation of time or life's progression.

Multiply multitudes

The increase in numbers or the multitude of days.

I wonder who destroys

Questioning who is responsible for destruction.

When no one is left, rejoice

Finding joy or solace when no one is left.

All our statues, lullabies and rented rooms

Mention of various elements like statues, lullabies, and rented rooms that may hold personal significance or memories.

Distances no one will go

Referring to unreachable distances, places or experiences.

For instances no one can know

Referring to situations or instances beyond understanding.

I say good night

Bidding farewell or ending a chapter.

Leave the room unsatisfied

Leaving a space or situation without fulfillment.

Like a child, I lie

Using childlike imagery to convey vulnerability or innocence.

Almost alone, not quite

Being almost alone but not completely isolated.


Crowded avenues

Depicting crowded streets with people facing various challenges.

Homeless in tennis shoes

Describing individuals without permanent homes, emphasizing their transient state.

Sometimes I wish to set free

Expressing a desire to release or let go of important things.

The things that still matter to me

Indicating that certain matters still hold significance.

Days continue

Reiteration of the ongoing passage of time.

Like a knife might intrude

Comparing the progression of days to the intrusive nature of a knife.

I wonder who destroys

Raising the question of who is responsible for destruction when nothing is left.

When nothing is left, rejoice

Finding joy or solace in the absence of everything.

Nothing is left, rejoice

Emphasizing the complete absence of anything and the opportunity to rejoice in it.
