When we touch the world
And it falls away
When we feel that we're born
Just to fall apart
And our mother lies in state
And the broken pitcher glistens
And the snow is at the window
Creating neither sign nor symbol
And the earth covers earth
And the mud lies in pools
Where the sand-dunes stretch unbroken
And the dry wind bends and sighs
And the geese are running harmless
And our desires are running wild
Then we're looking at the smoke
That's rising from the incense
Neither coming here nor going
Neither heaven here nor hell
Neither borning here nor birthing
Neither dying here nor death
And we're wrapped inside our troubles
And we're wrapped inside our pain
And wracked with fires with longing
And our eyes are blind with night
With our fingers clutching coins
And our thoughts burning with 'I'
And our eyes cannot be sated
With the world and its nightmares
With the world and its dreams
Though later they'll be filled
With a small handful of dust
And the gods appear on the altars
And we recognise their face
It's a face that we have carved there
And it's full of fear and longing
And promises and threats
But they neither stoop to conquer
Nor do they stoop to praise
And the mines are void of diamonds
That we carry in our rags
Then all the world seems
A sadness song
A sadness song
A sadness song
And all the world seems
A sadness song

歌詞解析
一句話主旨
以虛無與孤寂為核心，描繪存在本質的荒涼與無法解脫的悲傷。
主題
存在主義式的虛無感、生命本質的破碎與對神明的疏離，探討人類在無意義世界中的掙扎。
情緒
沉重、壓抑、絕望，帶有對命運的無力感與對自身存在的質疑。
意象與手法
運用自然與宗教意象（如「broken pitcher」、「snow at the window」、「altars」）隱喻生命脆弱與無常，透過重複句式（「A sadness song」）強化宿命感，並以矛盾修辭（「Neither...nor...」）凸顯存在困境。
重點句解讀
1. 「Neither coming here nor going」：
指涉存在狀態的無所適從，無法確認自身處於「來」或「去」的中間點，象徵生命本質的迷惘與無方向感。
2. 「Our desires are running wild」：
欲望失控反成枷鎖，暗示人性追求與現實的衝突，進一步加深內在焦慮。
3. 「It's a face that we have carved there」：
神明形象實為自我投射，反映人類對權威的依賴與幻滅，揭露信仰的虛無本質。
4. 「Though later they'll be filled / With a small handful of dust」：
稍縱即逝的塵埃，隱喻一切追求終將歸於虛無，強化存在主義的終極荒涼。
適合情境
獨處沉思、面對生命困境時，或需宣洩無形壓力的靜默時刻。
