To the Blade
Everything Everything Lyrics

So you think there's no meaning
Do you believe that everything we do is meaningless?

In anything that we do?
Is there truly no purpose in anything we undertake?

Maybe it's the silence
Perhaps the lack of communication or understanding is the cause.

Maybe it's the war
Perhaps the constant confrontation and strife is what leads to the lack of meaning.

Try to understand it
Make an effort to unravel and comprehend the complexity of the situation.

Try your best to understand the world
Do all that you can to fathom the intricacies and workings of our planet.

You're bleeding down the highway
You're recklessly destroying everything in your path in your quest for your goals.

You just want to listen to the roar
You're not concerned about what your actions will lead to, you're only focussed on achieving success.

Well, you called him a liar
You accused someone of being dishonest.

And you called him a piece of dirt
You insulted them and questioned their worth as a human being.

Never can you take it back and
You can never undo the impact of your words.

Never can you make it right
No matter what you do, it's impossible to make things better.

In the final second
At the last moment.

I think he knew everything you are
He had a clear understanding of your true nature.

A plague on the horizon
A disaster looming in the near future.

In the cold arena where you're trapped
You're stuck in a hostile environment with no escape.

In the moment you met
From the very instant you encountered each other.

In the lifetime I'm there
Throughout your entire existence, I am by your side.

But she still doesn't love you
Despite everything you've done, she has not fallen in love with you.

But you didn't know why
You were unable to fathom the reason behind her lack of affection.

You can take it from there
It's up to you to continue on and make something of yourself.

There's a light in your eyes
There's a spark of hope and optimism within you.

That's the thing you would always say
You cling onto this hope and repeat it to yourself often.

That it is no worse
No matter how bad things get, you believe they can't get any worse.

And they called you a witness
They requested your testimony in a trial or investigation.

And they called you the next-of-kin
They identified you as the legal heir and family member with the closest relationship to the deceased.

Maybe you don't hear their questions
Possibly you're deliberately avoiding their inquiries or playing ignorant.

Or you don't want to take it in
Perhaps you're finding it difficult to process and accept what's being said to you.

No one saw it coming
Nobody anticipated what happened.

Nobody could see the underside
No one noticed the hidden, darker aspect of the situation.

He was straighter than an arrow
He was honest, decent and forthright.

Pointed at a target in his mind
Focused and determined to achieve his goal.

And his bow was his anger
His rage was the driving force behind his actions.

But his blade was this cursed time
But time proved to be the instrument of his destruction.

He didn't want to be your prisoner
He refused to be held captive and controlled by you.

Anymore than you'd be mine
Just as you also wanted your own freedom and autonomy.

Try to know the difference
Attempt to distinguish between two similar things or ideas.

Sleep until your feelings lift away
Take a break and rest until your emotions settle down.

I'll be waiting for you
I will stand by your side and support you.

A reservoir between us, as you're trapped
There's a barrier between us that's preventing us from being together.

Yes
Indeed.

It's the back of your mind
It's a subconscious thought or fear.

It's the heart of a gun
It's the true nature or essence of a weapon.

It's the thought that you might have done it
It's the idea that you could be responsible for something terrible.

But you can't know why
You can't comprehend the motives or reasons for your actions.

Don't you waste any love
Don't squander your precious feelings or emotions.

There's a truth in the blood
There's an undeniable reality or fact ingrained within you.

There's a thing he was always saying
There's something he repeated frequently or continuously.

That it is no worse
No matter how difficult or challenging things become, they can't get any worse.
