You've Changed My Mind
Transformation Unveiled: You've Altered My Perception
Lyrics
I'd hidden away
I had concealed my emotions or struggles.
The pains of the day
The difficulties and challenges faced throughout the day.
And the strain of my eyes to see
The effort to perceive things clearly despite strain.
The grain of my skin
The essence or nature of my being.
At the start of the end
The beginning of the end, possibly a challenging phase.
Of all I once thought I could be
The realization that what I thought I could achieve is fading.
The page has been bent
A metaphorical reference to a bent page, indicating past experiences.
Like an ear, and I've spent
Comparing the bending of a page to the wear and tear in life.
Too much just to straighten a line
Investing too much effort to correct or improve a situation.
But you've waited as still
Despite challenges, someone has patiently waited.
As the stone of my will
Steadfast like a stone, symbolizing strong determination.
And I know you've changed my mind
A realization that someone has influenced a change in my perspective.
The beast in this room
A metaphorical reference to an unsettling presence or inner turmoil.
Paces and moons
The restless and unsettling nature of the inner struggle.
He's restless and needs to be fed
A need for resolution or satisfaction for the inner turmoil.
He moves in for keeps
The inner struggle intensifies during moments of vulnerability.
At the first sign of sleep
Manifesting when one is about to rest or be at peace.
He groans and nuzzles my head
An intimate and vulnerable interaction with the inner turmoil.
I gave nearly all
Giving almost everything to build emotional barriers.
To building the wall
The emotional defense created to hide from the world.
That could hide me forever behind
Realizing that hiding is not a permanent solution.
But now even my doubt
Even doubts and uncertainties find a way to surface.
Seems to know a way out
Awareness that someone has influenced a change in my mindset.
And I know you've changed my mind
(Empty line)
How little I knew
Realizing the limited understanding I had in the past.
Three that I grew
The growth of three, possibly referring to personal experiences.
Was not just to root me down
The purpose of personal growth is not just to anchor but also to rise.
But might stand to wave
Standing tall when faced with the passage of time.
When the passing of days
Responding with resilience when facing life's challenges.
Begged for a view off the ground
Seeking a broader perspective beyond day-to-day struggles.
My faith had grown cold
Losing faith, becoming indifferent due to life's challenges.
And all I'd been told
Believing that challenges are inevitable and come with time.
Convinced me that just comes with time
Realizing that change is possible and not bound by time.
But a page has been turned
A metaphor for turning a new chapter in life.
Some old fears unlearned
Letting go of old fears and embracing new possibilities.
And I know you've changed my mind
Acknowledging the positive influence of someone on my mindset.
