Lyrics
My smile is real
Expressing authenticity, claiming a genuine smile.
You grew from a wildflower
Describing someone's growth, possibly from a free-spirited nature to a burdensome presence.
To this pathetic pest
Labeling the person as a negative influence or burden.
Stop hiding your real self
Encouraging the individual to reveal their true self.
Under your filthy mask
Criticizing the use of a deceptive facade.
I can see guilt in your past
Perceiving guilt in the person's history.
But don't you think
Raising a question about the necessity of blame or criticism.
There's no need for reproach
Suggesting forgiveness or understanding.
We're wearing a mask
Acknowledging the universal tendency to hide true feelings.
We're all wearing masks
Highlighting the commonality of people wearing metaphorical masks.
There's always something to hide
Asserting that everyone has something to conceal.
Hide yourself behind those walls you built
Encouraging the person to hide behind self-constructed barriers.
And I know your smile is real
Expressing belief in the sincerity of the person's smile.
Somewhere deep inside
Specifying the depth of authenticity within the individual.
Inside your lungs, the level's rising
Metaphorically referencing internal struggles or challenges.
Show me your real face
Urging the person to reveal their genuine identity.
What gives you the sensation
Questioning the motivation behind one's sense of entitlement.
You can demand anything
Challenging the idea that demands can be freely made.
Life long masquerade
Describing life as a prolonged act of wearing masks.
That smile is not real
Asserting the insincerity of a particular smile.
We're all wearing masks
Reiterating the prevalence of people hiding their true selves.
There's always something to hide
Emphasizing the constant need for concealment.
Hide yourself behind those walls you built
Encouraging the person to continue building emotional walls.
And I know your smile is real
Reaffirming belief in the authenticity of the person's smile.
Somewhere deep inside
Highlighting the depth of sincerity within the individual.
Inside your lungs, the level's rising
Continuing the metaphor of internal struggles or challenges.
We all crumble at some point in our lives
Acknowledging the inevitability of personal difficulties.
Never was there anyone perfectly perfect
Rejecting the notion of perfection in individuals.
But what we forget is to stay confide
Encouraging self-confidence and transparency.
There is nothing to hide
Asserting that there is nothing shameful to conceal.
Watching you standing on the lighthouse
Observing the person from a distant vantage point.
I know that I've got to take the step
Recognizing the need for a courageous step or decision.
You will find me in the depths
Hinting at personal exploration or self-discovery in challenging circumstances.
Of my despair
Acknowledging a state of deep emotional distress.
I watch the sea rise up to me
Observing a calming effect in facing challenges.
The height is strangely soothing
Describing the strange comfort in confronting adversity.
The waves caress my face
Depicting a gentle and soothing interaction with life's difficulties.
One small step
Symbolizing a small but significant move towards authenticity.
See my smile is real
Reaffirming the authenticity of the speaker's smile.
See my smile is real
Repeating the declaration of a genuine smile.
