Analysis of In My Higgsy Element
Because there's proof that nothing
can become a whole new universe
I'm writing these lines here
and personally fill an emptiness
with thoughts of what might rise
when I start giving in
I've been virtually filling pages
with recurring thoughts of regrets
but this world just keeps on going
won't turn back to what has been
and it will only crush what rests
I can't change the one I am
But wait, that only counts
for who I've been up till here
Who says I can no longer go
and start anew from me within
These written lines may well become
a pulse that sets a nil in motion
And from scratch with some devotion
a whole new future might arise
that builds me up and even thrives
