about

While this song could easily be interpreted as an ode to a post-pandemic viewpoint, the themes of life's fleeting graces are, well, "Universal".

lyrics

The time you’re left is doubtful
Unknown and unfair
Feels so unequal, 
and no one cares.

The case that’s been left open
Unseen for all these years,
The author still left hoping 
For truth in dried up tears.

But that’s universal.

Sweeten the pot, give me some belief.
Take your shot, right behind me knees - 
(You said this was the first time, you answered other phone lines)
It it’s hard to die, then it’s harder still to cry - 
(How could this be the first time, you laid out on a train line)
A steady eye guards an empty well inside.
(How could this be the first time, someone read your call sign)

But that’s universal.

Nothing sacred, no great sins - 
(You said this’d be the last time, you’d end up in a coal mine)
Just imagine what you could have been -
(You said this’d be the last time, dead out at the fireside)
WIth a steady hand and eyes that do not flinch -
(How could this be the next time, the first time was the last time)
Breath to match your words with confidence.
(Born under a bad sign, the Bad Moon Rise and the time we’re left -)

And the time you’re left is doubtful
Unknown and unfair
Feels so unequal, 
and no one cares.

And I’ve sawn through all my bars,
My eyes fixed on the stars.
The moon in my living room
Cuts like a deck of cards.
But that’s universal.
