Anacrusis

In poetry, an anacrusis (Ancient Greek: ἀνάκρουσις "pushing up") is the lead-in syllables, collectively, that precede the first full foot of a line. Most commonly seen in lines of iambic pentameter, this technique applies a variation on the typical pentameter line causing it to appear at first glance as trochaic. more »

Where once was childlike simplicity
Now only remnants of blind ideals
This quality of innocence
Once tarnished, is forever lost
It's lost
It's lost
Never to return
It's lost
It's lost

We turn our heads
And show our backs
Burn bridges of communication
Throw away and cast aside
Shed these tools of separation

The complexities of maturity
Entangled in prejudice
I'm longing for this purity
Through envy and emptiness
It's lost
It's lost
And nothing remains of this childhood bliss
It's lost
It's lost

We turn our heads
And show our backs
Burn bridges of communication
Throw away and cast aside
Shed these tools of separation

Where once was childlike simplicity
Now only remnants of blind ideals
This egocentric, foolish pride
Never knowing happiness
It's lost
It's lost
Never to return
It's lost
It's lost

We turn our heads
And show our backs
Burn bridges of communication
Throw away and cast aside
Shed these tools of separation
