Eye Level
Unveiling Truth: Eye Level Reflections on Identity and Society
Lyrics
Now we close our eyes,
Expressing the act of closing one's eyes.
To stop looking,
Intention to cease observation or scrutiny.
To find out what's inside.
Exploring inner thoughts or emotions by shutting out external influences.
Seeing things for not what they are
Perception of things not as they truly are, and how they deviate from expectations.
And what they aren't supposed to be.
Observing discrepancies between reality and societal expectations.
And I realize that things will never be the same.
Acknowledging a realization that the status quo has changed irreversibly.
These stupid voices are all wrong.
Dismissing misleading influences or opinions.
I don't know what things are and why eye level?
Puzzlement about the concept of "eye level" and a lack of understanding about one's surroundings.
Dishonesty, envy, and greed is all that they see.
Listing negative qualities (dishonesty, envy, greed) perceived by others.
I don't know why everybody turns their backs to me.
Feeling alienated as others turn away, possibly due to negativity.
Relationships they rearrange and change who we are.
Reflecting on the impact of relationships on personal identity.
Always be yourself and just move on.
Encouragement to remain authentic and resilient despite challenges.
Sometimes you will see that life is more to me.
Acknowledging the complexity of life beyond surface perceptions.
And people, they tell you what your supposed to be.
Recognition of societal expectations influencing self-perception.
I try to listen but I can't chose who I am.
Struggling with external influences in defining personal identity.
Remember who you are and what you wanted to do.
Encouragement to remember one's true self and aspirations.
Now we close our eyes,
Repetition of the act of closing one's eyes.
To stop looking,
Reiteration of stopping visual observation.
To find out what's inside.
Re-emphasizing the exploration of inner thoughts and emotions.
Seeing things for not what they are
Reiterating the perception of things contrary to their reality.
And what they aren't supposed to be.
Re-emphasizing the contrast between perception and societal expectations.
And I realize that things will never be the same.
Repeating the realization that a significant change has occurred.
These stupid voices are all wrong.
Rejection of misleading influences or opinions.
I don't know what things are and why eye level?
Reiteration of confusion about the concept of "eye level."
