[Intro]
\nWho knows
\n(When you’re in the throes)
\nWhere the time goes
\n(… in the throes)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nIt’s an intense
\n(Situation)
\nAn immense
\n(Culmination)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nSaturation
\nAs we sang (of the painful pang)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWho knows
\n(When you’re in the throes)
\nWhere the time goes
\n(… in the throes)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nIt’s a challenging
\n(Confrontation)
\nThe grappling
\n(Causation)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nSaturation
\nAs we sang (of the painful pang)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWho knows
\n(When you’re in the throes)
\nWhere the time goes
\n(… in the throes)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nSaturation
\nAs we sang (of the painful pang)
\nSpasms
\n(Chasms)
\nBetter catch the flows
\n(And get out of the throes)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWho knows
\n(When you’re in the throes)
\nWhere the time goes
\n(… in the throes)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nSaturation
\n(Infiltration)
\nAs we sang (of the painful pang)<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\n“In the throes” means to be in the middle of a difficult or intense situation, suggesting a struggle, crisis, or period of great upheaval. The word “throes” originally referred to painful pangs or spasms and is almost always used in the plural to describe a state of suffering, but its usage has expanded to cover any intense or challenging experience.<\/p>\n
