Tragedy
Diluvium Lyrics

Tragedy, till you can't see
The situation is so tragic that it has blinded you to any hope or goodness in the world.

Tragedy, till there's no symphony.
The tragedy has become so overwhelming that the beauty of life can no longer be heard or felt.

I'm standing on the shore
The singer is in a place of transition, where they are figuratively and literally at the edge of something.

These waves are simple words.
The natural world around the artist is communicating something to them, even if it may seem basic or straightforward.

I cannot pretend
The artist is being honest with themselves and others about their feelings and experiences.

I've never lied
The singer has always been truthful in their interactions with others.

I've never been hurt.
The singer has had a life free from emotional pain.

Give me back my words
The artist wants to reclaim something they feel has been taken away or lost from them.

I want to call you back
The artist wishes they could undo something they have done, or go back to a time when things were different.

While in time my dreams will become one big rising tragedy.
Despite the passage of time, the artist's hopes and aspirations continue to be dashed and contribute to the overall sense of tragedy in their life.

I need an empty crown
The singer desires something that may seem impressive or glamorous (like a crown), but is ultimately meaningless or empty.

To make my soul so free
The artist believes that by letting go of materialistic or superficial desires, they will feel liberated and happy.

I need cries and smiles
The singer wants the full range of human emotions, instead of numbing themselves to pain or only experiencing surface-level joy.

And no more space for tragedy.
The singer longs for a life without tragedy, where they can experience true happiness and contentment.

In that ruptured solemnity
The singer is reflecting on a moment of great sadness or upheaval, where something they once held dear was broken.

I lost the voice that came to me,
The artist has lost something that was once a source of guidance or inspiration for them.

I was down and nothing more.
The artist felt deeply depressed and hopeless during that time.

But hold these words on the shore
The singer is reminding themselves to hold onto the simple things in life, which can provide comfort and solace during hard times.

So that I can hear it once again.
The singer longs to regain a sense of clarity and purpose in their life.

Sleepy sounds of waves and sand
The calming, natural sounds of the ocean serve as a soothing balm to the artist's soul.

Which carry me to the bay of fears
The waves and sand bring the artist to a place of confronting their deepest fears and anxieties.

To ask me for no more tears.
The artist hopes to find a way to cope with their pain and move forward without shedding any more tears.
