We Closed Our Eyes
Embracing Shadows: Unveiling the Intricacies of Self-Imposed Darkness
Lyrics
We closed our eyes
We chose to ignore reality or truth.
To shield the light
Intentionally avoiding the illumination of truth.
Causing our own darkness
This intentional avoidance led to our self-created ignorance or confusion.
We closed our eyes
Reiteration of closing eyes, emphasizing the act of avoidance.
It's right in front of us
The truth or solution is evident but ignored.
To shield the light
Repeating the act of shielding from reality.
Causing our own darkness
Resulting in self-imposed darkness or lack of understanding.
What is clear can begin to overpower
Clarity may become overwhelming and hinder thinking beyond conventional boundaries.
Our ability to look outside the box
Our capacity to think creatively or differently is restricted.
So I trained to see where it is dim
The singer trained to perceive subtle aspects not immediately apparent.
After searching long enough
After a prolonged search, realizing the need to see beyond the obvious.
Through the darkness
Journeying through difficulties or challenges.
The light began to seem so bright
The truth became evident, almost blinding in its clarity.
That I wanted to turn it off
An urge to reject the truth due to its intensity.
We closed our eyes
Repeating the act of closing eyes and avoiding reality.
It's right in front of us
The truth is directly in front of us but deliberately overlooked.
To shield the light
Reiterating the shielding of truth.
Causing our own darkness
Resulting in our own confusion or lack of understanding.
There's so much brilliance that has been wasted
Acknowledging wasted brilliance and missed insights.
Understanding profound intricacies
Recognizing deep complexities but oblivious to the obvious.
All the while blind to the obvious
Despite understanding intricate matters, failing to see the straightforward.
It's like gaining peripheral vision
Gaining peripheral vision but losing focus on essential matters.
But losing focus
Distraction from what is directly in front.
On what is in front of us
Failure to see what is immediately apparent.
So I'll be the first to admit that I was wrong
Admitting a previous misconception.
But I was convinced I had it figured out
Confident in understanding, but ultimately proven wrong.
Unveiling complexity but somehow missing what is glaring at me
Revealing complexities but overlooking glaring truths.
After hiding for so long
Remaining hidden or closed off for an extended period.
I felt I'd never find center again
A sense of losing one's balance or perspective.
But all I had to do was open my eyes
The solution is simple—just opening one's eyes.
We closed our eyes
Reiteration of intentionally closing eyes to truth.
To shield the light
Repeating the act of shielding from the light of truth.
We closed our eyes
Reiterating intentional blindness to reality.
It's right in front of us
The truth is evident but deliberately ignored.
To shield the light
Repeating the act of avoiding the illuminating truth.
Causing our own darkness
Resulting in self-imposed darkness and lack of understanding.
We closed our eyes
Emphasizing the intentional act of closing eyes.
It's right in front of us
Truth is directly in front but intentionally overlooked.
To shield the light
Reiterating the act of shielding from the illuminating truth.
Causing our own darkness
Resulting in self-imposed darkness and confusion.
(We closed our eyes)
Repeating the acknowledgment of closing eyes to truth.
(It's right in front of us)
Reiteration of the truth being in front but deliberately ignored.
(To shield the light)
Repeating the act of shielding from the illuminating truth.
(Causing our own darkness)
Emphasizing the resulting self-created darkness and confusion.
(We closed our eyes)
Reiteration of closing eyes to truth.
(It's right in front of us)
Truth is right in front, yet intentionally overlooked.
