no one (tune analysis)

Well I can't ever really believe
No one was sent to get me
And I feel like I'm being erased
No one got left here

I'm all alone
No one was sent to get me
I'm all alone
No one got left here

But I'm fine
No one got left here
Well I'm fine
No one got left here

I can't even breathe when I see
The pictures sent without you
I feel like i've been erased
No one got left here

I'm all alone
No one was sent to get me
I'm all alone
No one got left here

But I'm fine
No one got left here
Well I'm fine
No one got left here

But I'm fine
No one got left here
Well I'm fine
No one got left

I'm so sick of this terrible instinct
It's so hard now
Just to find you
I'm so sick of this terrible instinct
It's so hard now
Just to find you

So sick of the terrible instinct
I can only find you
So sick of the terrible instinct
I can only find you

But I'm fine
No one got left here
Well I'm fine
No one got left here

But I'm fine
No one got left here
Well I'm fine
Nobody got left


I really like this tune by cold. it is in my opinion a man crying out for God. not only that but is is an accurate analysis of man's state. we are creatures with instinct, sometimes terrible instinct as the song depicts. kill, screw, fight, flight, protect self at all costs. these instincts while at times fine in their place at other times run counter to our soul's calling.

do we follow our instinct or do we at times rise above it by actually running counter to it. to follow the instinct blindly, like an animal, we lose sight of our higher being, we lose sight of God.

Cold says it best with this line:

I'm so sick of this terrible instinct
It's so hard now
Just to find you
I'm so sick of this terrible instinct
It's so hard now
Just to find you

theres more than survival of the creature at stake, it is survival of the soul which trumps all.

The highlighted lines are more non-sensicle than anything else. I don't see what you seem to see at all. You would really have to speak to the author to find out what was really meant. You can't just blindly speculate.
