Our Own Light
Embracing Illumination: Escaping Shadows
Lyrics
We're so consumed
We are deeply engrossed or overwhelmed.
By our own light
We are preoccupied with our own perspective or understanding.
That we won't illuminate our own lives
We fail to bring light or clarity to our own lives.
And even for only just the one night
Even if only for a brief moment or night.
I know we'd all be shining so bright
Collectively, we could radiate brilliance.
Let me disappear to the other side
Expressing a desire to disappear to an unknown place or state.
Let me separate from the void, from the hollow
Wishing to detach from emptiness and nothingness.
Dissipate far beyond the shadows
To disperse far beyond the areas of darkness.
Please take me away to where darkness doesn't follow
Seeking refuge where darkness cannot reach.
Let me disappear to the other side
Repetition for emphasis on the desire to escape darkness.
Let me disappear to the other side
-Please take me away to where darkness doesn't follow
-We're so consumed
Reiteration of being absorbed by one's own light.
By our own light
Failing to illuminate or bring understanding to our lives.
That we won't illuminate our own lives
Repeating the theme of self-oblivion.
And even for only just the one night
Even briefly, we could shine brightly.
I know we'd all be shining so bright
Despite our preoccupations, there's potential for brilliance.
Let me disappear to the other side
Reiterating the desire to vanish to an undisclosed place.
Let me separate from the void, from the hollow
Expressing a wish to detach from emptiness and the void.
Dissipate far beyond the shadows
To disperse beyond the darkness's reach.
Please take me away to where darkness doesn't follow
Asking to be taken away to a place free from darkness.
Let me disappear to the other side
Repetition for emphasis on the desire to escape darkness.
Let me disappear to the other side
-Please take me away to where darkness doesn't follow
-Your home again, it's time you see the truth
Returning home and realizing the need to confront reality.
In every way, you left behind your youth
Acknowledging that one has left behind their youth in every aspect.
Let me disappear to the other side
Reiteration of the longing to disappear to a place without darkness.
Let me separate from the void, from the hollow
-Dissipate far beyond the shadows
-Please take me away to where darkness doesn't follow
-Let me disappear to the other side
-Let me disappear to the other side
-Please take me away to where darkness doesn't follow
