Survivor's Guilt
Survivor's Reflection: Nature's Reckoning
Lyrics
If we listen closely we can hear the sky falling
If we pay attention, we can sense impending disaster.
I braced for impact and you just sat there watching
I prepared for the impact, while you observed without taking action.
I guess one of us had it coming
It seems one of us was destined for consequences.
Cause neither of us went running
Neither of us fled from the situation.
If we listen closely we can hear the bombs dropping
If we listen closely, we can hear the destructive consequences.
Trynna fish their bodies out the chlorine ocean
Attempting to retrieve bodies from a toxic environment, possibly a metaphorical struggle.
And I guess they had it coming
Those facing consequences deserved it, as they did not try to escape.
Cause none of them went running
Similar to the previous situation, none of them took evasive action.
I guess we ran out of luck
We've run out of luck, facing unfortunate circumstances.
Cause even nature don't fuck with us
Nature itself is no longer in our favor.
I'm tired of waiting
Frustration with waiting; a decision is overdue.
My mind is up
The speaker's patience has reached its limit.
Are we doing this or what
A direct question about taking action or moving forward.
I don't know what's gotten into you
Expressing confusion about a change in the person's behavior.
You're not the person that I love
The person is not behaving as the speaker remembers or loves.
So many things that I've put you through
Recognition of the difficulties the speaker has caused the person.
I think you've finally given up
The person may have given up due to the speaker's actions.
You're the person I've waited for
Reaffirmation of the importance and trust in the person.
You're the person that I trust
The person is still someone the speaker relies on.
You're the person I'd stop a bullet for
A declaration of the depth of care and willingness to protect the person.
Can you give me one more month
A plea for more time to make things right.
I guess we ran out of luck
Reiteration of bad luck and nature's indifference.
Cause even nature don't fuck with us
Similar to line 10, emphasizing the unfavorable nature of their circumstances.
I'm tired of waiting
Restating impatience and decision-making readiness.
My mind is up
The speaker's decision is made, and their mind is set.
Are we doing this or what
A repetition of the question, urging a resolution or action.
Are we doing this or what
A final repetition, emphasizing the urgency of the decision.
Are we doing this or what
A final call for a decision or action.
