Lyrics
"Each of those worlds is as real as ours. In every one of them there's a succession of incidents, events, occurrences, which influence it's future"
Reflection on multiple realities, each with its own series of events shaping its future.
Telling tales from the time I could
Recalling storytelling from a young age.
They carried me to sleep
Stories that eased into sleep.
Animate so that I could stay underneath
Animating tales to create comfort, possibly to remain sheltered.
I'm locked in tight
Feeling trapped or confined.
No, I don't want to let it go
Reluctance to release something important.
Don't wake me up
Desire to remain in a state of unawareness or dreams.
So now I'm stuck in the animation
Feeling trapped in a cycle or routine.
Can't seem to feel a thing now
Numbness or inability to experience emotions.
I'm just watching my body moving
Detached observation of one's actions.
I don't know what I can be now
Uncertainty about identity or potential.
It keeps me farther away
Feeling distanced or removed.
It takes the life out of me
Draining vitality or energy.
It keeps me farther away
Continued sense of distance or detachment.
And I don't know what I can be now
Reiteration of uncertainty about potential.
I don't know what I can be now
Repetition emphasizing uncertainty about identity or capabilities.
Everything you long for is everything you'll ever be
The desires one seeks may define their eventual identity.
"It is not the critic who counts
Quoting the idea that criticism holds less weight than actual participation.
Nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles
Emphasizing the insignificance of those who only criticize.
Or where the doer of deeds could have done them better
Highlighting the irrelevance of pointing out others' flaws without personal involvement.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood…
Recognition of the value of personal engagement and effort despite hardships.
…so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Emphasizing the distinction between active participants and passive onlookers.
Someone told me
Reference to advice or information received from someone.
Everybody wants to change their lives
Recognition that everyone desires change in their lives.
No matter what we have to lose its only for the best in all our minds
Acceptance of potential losses for perceived improvement.
So now I'm stuck in the animation
Reiteration of feeling trapped in a cycle or routine.
Can't seem to feel a thing now
Continued numbness or inability to feel.
I'm just watching my body moving
Observation of one's actions without a clear sense of purpose or direction.
I don't know what I can be now
Reiterating uncertainty about identity or potential.
It keeps me farther away
Feeling distanced or removed from something important.
It takes the life out of me
Continued draining of vitality or energy.
It keeps me farther away
Perpetuating the sense of distance or detachment.
And I don't know what I can be now
Reiteration of uncertainty about potential or identity.
