Just One Second
Cone Of Silence Lyrics

Hey, what's up with me
The singer is questioning their current state of being

Why am I lying on the ground
The singer is confused as to why they are lying down

On my back down, head into the sky
The singer is lying on their back and looking up at the sky

Why the hell am I here
The artist is frustrated and unsure why they are in their current predicament

My head seems empty and hollow
The artist's mind is blank and they feel empty

Very far away something calls
The singer hears a distant sound or voice

I watch the clouds go by
The singer is observing the movement of the clouds in the sky

They move abnormal fast
The speed at which the clouds move seems unusual or abnormal to the artist

I still cannot remember
The artist cannot recall why they are in their current situation

Why I am lying here and cannot move
The artist questions why they are unable to move from the ground

I Feel no pain or sorrow
The singer is not experiencing physical or emotional pain

Maybe it's just another dream
The artist questions the reality of their experience

I try but cannot wakeup
The singer is attempting to wake up from what they believe may be a dream

When a gentle breeze
The singer experiences a light, soft wind

Starts to whisper of my past
The wind seems to be reminding the singer of their past

Very long gone memories revive
The gentle breeze brings back memories from the artist's distant past

No!
The artist is reacting to an unknown stimuli with shock and surprise

I see myself
The singer is observing themselves from an external perspective

Travel through my time
The singer is experiencing a montage of memories from their life

All memories appear and flush away my need to be
As the artist remembers their life, they no longer feel the need to exist

Like on tv
The artist's life memories are playing out like a television show

Everything I've done
The artist is seeing a replay of all their past actions and experiences

My fucking deeds
The singer is acknowledging both the good and bad things they have done in their life

All the good and the bad
The artist is recalling both positive and negative aspects of their life

See myself
The singer is reflecting on their own existence and mortality

Yeah!
The singer is feeling a mix of emotions, possibly relief or release

Oh god, I now remember
The singer has had a sudden recollection of their past and present situation

Why I am lying here and cannot move
The artist now understands why they are immobile on the ground

I see myself, lying down on the ground
The artist is viewing their own body from above

I look into my pale grey eyes
The singer is staring into their own lifeless eyes

All fears are gone, my body stays below
The singer no longer feels fear and their physical body remains on the ground

I rise into the nothingness
The artist is ascending into a void or emptiness

And now I know, that just one second has passed
The artist realizes that their entire life has been condensed into one second

Oh! Since the bullet struck my head!
The artist recalls how they met their end, likely having been shot in the head
