7 & the Fall
Jesse Marchant Lyrics

Highways, black fog
Navigating the confusing and challenging roads of life, shrouded in ambiguity and uncertainty.

Narrow chance
Only a small possibility of success or positive outcome.

In the calm of your arms
Finding safety and security, wrapped in the embrace of another.

Say goodbye
Parting ways or ending a chapter of life.

I can recall your way
Remembering the actions and behaviors of someone else.

In the black storm
During tumultuous and difficult times.

We sat to wait
Waiting for something to happen or change in our lives.

All it written all over your face
Your emotions, thoughts, and intentions are clearly visible to others.

Was always in your eyes
Your true self is evident in the way you look at others and the world around you.

You pay no mind the truth
You ignore or deny what is real and factual.

If it ain't on your side
If it doesn't benefit or support your personal agenda or desires.

Well who's on your side?
Asking who is supporting you and your priorities.

Who is on your side now?
Questioning who is helping or hurting you presently.

While I lived the fall
Experiencing a significant period of decline, hardship, or negativity.

From your letting down
As a result of someone else disappointing, betraying, or abandoning you.

Did you mine your ruin?
Did you cause your own downfall or failure by making poor choices or ignoring warning signs?

You can't blame it all
You are not solely responsible for the negative outcomes in your life.

On the set of your ways
On your habits, behaviors, or beliefs that contributed to your difficulties.

You can raise your walls
You can try to protect yourself from future pain or hardship.

And protect what you've lain
Safeguarding the things you have worked hard for or achieved.

But you're cracking your roof
Internal struggles and unresolved issues may eventually cause your personal barriers to collapse.

Now the ground here
The foundation of your life or personal relationships.

Is washing away
Disintegrating or deteriorating due to external or internal factors.

I was alone
Feeling disconnected or isolated from others.

I was watching it rain
Experiencing negativity or sadness, almost like a storm passing over you.

Humans standing on limbs cut
People trying to survive despite lacking the tools or resources they need.

Drowning in the waves
Feeling overwhelmed and threatened by the circumstances around you.

Loosing everything
Giving up everything you've worked for or valued.

Of their minds at fault
Your own thoughts or actions may contribute to your pain or misfortune.

Of their hearts in ruin
The emotions or relationships that were once cherished have been damaged or destroyed.
