Between Two Points

'Between Two Points' explores the complexity of human emotions, especially vulnerability. The lyrics begin with a reflection on broken promises and the trust placed in strangers, leading to an emotional surrender that destabilizes a heart that was once steady. This surrender takes the lyrical self to an unknown place, an emotional space that he has never visited again, suggesting a unique and transformative experience, whether on the positive or negative side.

The song also addresses the early acceptance of life's circumstances, as a form of self-protection. The lyricist mentions having stopped hoping and guessing early on, accepting things as they are to avoid disappointment. This acceptance, however, comes at a cost: resignation and allowing others to treat him badly. The lyrics suggest that by allowing others to 'walk all over you', you become insensitive to pain and suffering, but you also lose your vitality and essence, symbolized by the 'lifeblood' that fades away.

The song culminates in a feeling of isolation and guilt. The lyrical self always feels like the last to know and the first to leave, carrying the guilt when things go wrong. The image of the 'guardian angel giving up the ghost' evokes a sense of abandonment and despair. However, there is an implicit resilience in the ability to 'laugh through the punches and the pain', suggesting an inner strength that persists despite adversity. The duality between vulnerability and resilience is at the heart of this song, reflecting the complexity of human and emotional experiences in the midst of the most chaotic environments and suffering.
