We summon existence
This distance is not what it seems
Painstaking process
It pulls at our instincts
We're living outside of our means
So long, I've hoped
To be strong
Down-sloped
The beginning of the end
And the damage will commence
All that I've sacrificed makes it seem right
Don't underestimate how hard I'll try
This is our final cry
On what I must offer
It's slowly becoming unfair
Will I recover
From being pulled under
I'm desperate and gasping for air
So long, I've hoped
To be strong
Down-sloped
You have embedded it within my seed
All of my memories are blending in
Now the real damage will begin
The beginning of the end
And the damage will commence
All that I've sacrificed makes it seem right
Don't underestimate how hard I'll try
This is our final cry
This is our final cry
This is our final cry
This is our final cry
All these occurances bring me to life
All that I've sacrificed makes it seem right
Don't underestimate how hard I'll try
This is our final cry
Overall I'd say this song is about regretting the past mistakes you made but you still keep living because they weren't all neccessarily "mistakes", thus: "All that I've sacrificed makes it seems right"
Flaw is one of the most underrated bands imo. What I take from this song is similar to what others mention. He’s living with regrets and hurt, but he’s struggling with facing these issues. It almost seems like he’s turning to drugs or something negative to deal with his past instead of facing it head on. However at the same time it’s like he knows he’s dealing with his issue wrong, so now he’s trying to own up to it the right way.
“All these occurances bring me to life All that I've sacrificed makes it seem right” Seems like he’s saying, everything I’ve gone through makes this route of dealing with it ok. Possibly drug use, he’s gone through so much pain it makes his use seem ok. But then he’s struggling with that too, like he knows it’s not ok. So this our final cry is saying this is it, I’m facing my problems the right way.
