BUILDING BLUEPRINT
Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Hour-glass
- As the piano plays
- I say... I play
- With my soul—emotions so raw
- I crawl, as I saw... a saw, cutting through the gaps of bleu
- The sky—screaming
- I reply: why?
- Everyone doesn’t see
- But me
- But we—look at each other
- As the sunny weather fades
- I lay on grass, I wave
- As moments pass, as future becomes past
- I break glass—an hourglass
- Stop time to go faster
- Throw a dime to a lonely mister
- Check if there are more bullets in the holster
- I check on my sister
- I feel like I got wisdom
- I wanna cry with 'em
- I got letters—I sent 'em
- To a person that’s cursing himself
- With half of a soul
- He becomes cold
- Saying things bold
- But I understand the demand
- It’s a plea
- A stand
- To see... the he
- The me
- The least of we
- As we watch him die
- In a chair
- Watch him cry
- Right there
- A fight with himself
- He will never win—never lose
- Keep a chin too loose
- Eyes pierced his heart
- Becoming pale in every part
- Walking up the stairs—to the judge
- Nobody cares
- As there is no court
- I poured a story as it unfolds
- The time resumes
- As I pause
- In my place
- Knowing I’ll die...
- Too poor for a lawyer
- Too poor to buy a last flower
- For myself
- For my last... pathetic... hour
- I cower, I tower, over clouds, with mouths
- I vow, I laugh, I tie the rope
- I cope, with a drink, water from the sink, and ink
- As the chair is set, I pair the hits, the scars, with a lit picture
- I sit, and think, and think, and bring the rope to my neck
- But I don’t fall, I cut the wall with breath
- As I discover the time, the times I smiled, I cried
- I buy, I bought the sky, the sparks, the lives I saved
- With my letters, I wave from the window
- As I see my reflection, I feel loved
- I cut the rope, I kick the chair
- Where I was gonna end the once pathetic, precious life
- And with it, waste the cautious time
- To write a song, to bite a more sweet meal
- Than the one I ate, the last time I passed by my mother
- So why would I waste the lies, waste the lives
- To the sky, as I smile, so smile, soldier
- I got ya, I’ll write for ya, sing for ya, toy with ya
- Laugh with ya, cry with ya, sigh with ya
- Just know I’m with ya
