Tragedy
BORN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back and forth, the face-to-face
Space between the emptiness
We don't always radiate a sense of fate
But it's the place I long to be

I believe it's my destiny
A crater laid empty
Seems to increase
Stable safety rears its pretty face
Afraid of the failure
Afraid of the pain

Inside the back-and-forth
Between the emptiness
Is the place I long to be
Another shot at destiny
Inside the back-and-forth
Between the emptiness
Is the place I long to be
Another shot at destiny

Careful brain I creep right past you
My actions test your security
I'm not afraid of your healing approval (your healing approval)
Snapped in half, broken in two

Inside the back-and-forth
Between the emptiness
Is the place I long to be
Another shot at destiny
Inside the back-and-forth
Between the emptiness
Is the place I long to be
Another shot at destiny

Back and forth, the face-to-face
Space between the emptiness
We don't always radiate a sense of fate
But it's the place I long to be

My eyes at times see the perfect picture
Yet I sacrifice
Solid ground and a balanced life




Cycles of tragedy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of BORN's song Tragedy touch on the desire to find a deeper purpose or sense of fulfillment in life. The repetition of the phrase "inside the back-and-forth, between the emptiness, is the place I long to be" suggests a longing to find this purpose amidst the uncertainty and unpredictability of life. The song seems to be exploring the fear of failure and pain that comes with pursuing one's destiny, represented in the lyrics "afraid of the failure, afraid of the pain," but ultimately, the singer chooses to take "another shot at destiny" and face these fears.
