Zero
Mr. T Experience Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

From the window I watched you walk into the water
It took me a second to comprehend
It was cold outside
We had just had a little fight
My mind started screaming an alarm
I ran down the stairs and to the back door
My thoughts racing, trying to understand
Looking left and looking right

Wind, salt, and sand stinging my eyes
Visibility near zero
With each minute more of my hope dies
I pushed myself faster across the sand
Hope and pain flooding my senses
Where are you?
Why did you go?
What are you thinking?
Can this really be a path you choose
When you have so much more to lose?
Are you really gone?
Or in the end could this just be a ruse?
Did you end it all to protect her?
Or is this all about you?
If this is slight of hand and you've disappeared
I can't understand or agree
I know that you're a woman of conviction
But this feels like a lack of vision
The ocean begins to churn
As the winds continue to increase
Hope further fades
As the building storm peaks
Why! Why! Why!
This thought screams again and again
Things were always complicated
But this was never supposed to end in this way

My brain is scrambling to figure this out
But all I am filled with is doubt
