Ascending Beyond Conformity: Reflection on Self-Discovery
Lyrics
He thought he was so different than
He believed he was distinct from others
Everyone on earth
Distinct from everyone else on the planet
But he found himself
However, he discovered himself
Up upon the highest shelf
Elevated on the highest shelf, possibly metaphorical
The books around him looked the same
Surrounded by similar-looking books
Just sitting there, day to day
These books were stationary in their routine
And every one had
Each book had its own unique content
Special words to say
Special words or messages to convey
High up on the mountainside
On a mountainside, possibly a metaphorical setting
Letters call out their demise
Letters spelling out their downfall
Forgetting the mighty course
Forgetting the grand course of time
Of time
Reflection on the passage of time
Blinded by a marble light
Blinded by a bright light, possibly metaphorical
An eclipse on a cloudy night
An eclipse during a cloudy night
Visions are all made up
Visions are fabricated, not real
In the sand tonight my love
In the sand, a metaphorical place, his love is expressed
He saw his life from start to end
He witnessed his life from beginning to end
If only he could change or mend
Desire to alter or mend past moments
The moments where he felt
Moments where he felt very small
Oh so small
The light now becomes ominous or threatening
The light becomes deathly now
A man struggles to amplify his words
And one man just could not know how
The difficulty of making his words stand out
To make his words ring
Unable to make his words resound louder than others
Louder than the rest
The challenge of being heard over others
