Unveiling the Layers: Shoveljerk's Revelations of Self
Lyrics
Do you want to see my true face
Expressing willingness to reveal true self
And get to know my real place
Inviting understanding of one's genuine position
Do you really want to see how much I know
Questioning if the listener truly desires to know the speaker's knowledge
And feel, I know what I'm supposed to be
Awareness of one's purpose and identity
I'd rather feel that to see and when I run there is
Preference for experiencing rather than observing
Nothing that can hold me up
Asserting freedom from constraints when running
I had a hot streak one time it helped to make
Reflecting on a past successful period
Up your mind and now it's showing everything
Indicating a decisive mindset and its visible outcomes
I need to be, my word does not mean a thing
Acknowledging the insignificance of spoken words
It only helps to get free so I can do as I please
Utilizing words to gain freedom for personal desires
What is hiding beneath my skin
Questioning what lies beneath the surface
It's just the costume I'm in
Admitting the external appearance is a facade
It's changing colors any time I want it to
Having control over the presentation of oneself
I need attention all day
Expressing a constant need for attention
I'm prone to make some mistakes
Acknowledging a tendency to make mistakes
But it's never my fault, it's yours
Blaming others for personal faults
I make the other half see
Claiming credit for others' enlightenment
How blessed they are to have me
Highlighting one's perceived importance
How lucky they should feel that I'm around for them
Emphasizing the privilege of having the speaker around
No matter what I can't fall
Confident in not experiencing a downfall
I'm always here for them all
Commitment to always be present for others
Just as long as everything is always geared to me
Expecting everything to revolve around oneself
I'm a jerk, I'm a creep, I'm so shallow, I seem deep
Self-awareness of negative traits: jerk, creep, shallow yet appearing deep
I got what I want and I got how I need
Having achieved personal desires and needs
And I know that you will always listen to me
Expectation of unwavering attention from others
Do you think I can help the world
Rhetorical question about the speaker's potential to help the world
My tail is hidden and curled
Symbolic reference to hiding one's true nature
And I can lash back anytime that I want to
Retaliatory capacity when provoked
Ideas are none but my own
Claiming ownership of ideas
I don't care what I have sown
Indifference to consequences of actions
I'm out of reach for anything to come back on me
Confident in avoiding repercussions
When all is finally done at least I know I'll have fun
Anticipation of having fun once everything is done
And by the way how were things for you
Disregard for others' experiences
I really couldn't care less
Expressing complete indifference to others' situations
'cause I don't clean up the mess
Refusal to take responsibility for cleaning up after oneself
Everything is always taken care of for me
Expectation of having everything handled by others
Mine is never to take the blame
Denial of responsibility, avoiding blame
My story's never the same
Admission of consistently altering one's narrative
I'll rearrange it to try and get away
Manipulating the story to evade consequences
And when I go to my grave
Indifference towards salvation or redemption
I don't care if I am saved
Expecting similar treatment in the afterlife
I'll get the same treatment that I got down here
Nonchalant attitude towards consequences beyond life
