From the recording Ondoezik.3: Chopping the Zealot Tree
'Half Life' explores the concept of change and inner conflict. The lyrics depict a struggle between different aspects of oneself, and conveys the idea of feeling torn between specific choices (living in North America and living in Europe) and the beauty found in accepting the randomness of life's changes.
Lyrics
Change
It’s just a matter of time
Rearrange
Feels like war in a piece of your mind
Strange
This giving up to receive
Constrained
Moving forward oh I’ve got to believe
Change
It’s just a matter of time
Rearrange
Feels like war in the back of your mind
I am of two minds
Living inside this half life
Split between two pairs of dice
It’s a beautiful way to die…
Against the balance of what we wanted
Tip the scales so that we feel needed
