Metaphysical Musings: Transformative Power in Weightlifters' Reflections
Lyrics
Back when I had time to dream
Reflecting on a past when there was time for dreaming.
I dreamed of ordinary faces
Dreaming of regular, everyday faces.
Frozen unexpressed emotions
Emotions that were never expressed and remained frozen.
Trapped inside the wax museum
Feeling stuck in a situation, like being inside a wax museum.
And what my mind had been curating
The mental images curated by the mind causing a scandal.
Scandalized my sense of station
Feeling out of place or inappropriate.
My face poured in, and I woke up
Waking up abruptly, realizing the ordinary reality.
Feeling like shit when I saw my ordinary face
Disappointment and negative self-perception upon seeing one's face.
I should start lifting weights
Suggesting a desire to improve oneself through weightlifting.
Put your heart on the target
Encouragement to express emotions boldly.
They expect you to scream
Expectation to be loud and passionate.
Music blasts through the market
Music as a representation of the mechanical and commercial world.
It's the sound of machines
Industrial sounds and the impact of capitalism.
And quarters crushing the penny
Symbolism of monetary value and its effect on the individual.
One bout turned into many
Repeated exposure leading to desensitization.
My resistance is crushed
A sense of defeat and surrender.
I'm just here about some tangerines
Shift in focus to mundane things like buying fruit.
And maybe grapes without seeds
Desire for simplicity and purity, like seedless grapes.
'Cause I believe that thoughts can change your body
Belief in the power of thoughts to influence the body.
It's all on me if thoughts can change your body
Accepting responsibility if thoughts indeed shape the body.
I believe that thoughts can change my body
Personal conviction in the ability of thoughts to transform the body.
You don't know me, your body can't change your mind
Highlighting the gap between self-perception and how others perceive.
And maybe if I keep my mouth shut
Hoping for divine intervention by keeping silent.
God will answer all my prayers
Desire for prayers to be answered by a higher power.
Let my secret vision sprawl
A private, undisclosed vision that is now revealed.
Declassified another ship
Revealing classified information or personal insights.
And then I put my arms around you
An intimate moment of physical closeness.
And say, "Thank God that I found you"
Expressing gratitude for finding a significant other.
I kept my mouth shut
Keeping silent in anticipation of positive outcomes.
And hoped that this would happen to me
Hoping for positive developments without vocalizing them.
I see the patterns in things
Observing and recognizing patterns in life.
I never knew this was a part of me
Discovery of an inherent aspect of oneself.
He who sings in the choir
A person involved in a group but feeling the strain.
I feel the tension, I'm afraid it will break
Fear of the breaking point due to tension.
I should start lifting weights
Reiteration of the desire to improve through weightlifting.
'Cause I believe that thoughts can change your body
Reiteration of the belief in the power of thoughts to shape the body.
It's all on me if thoughts can change your body
Emphasizing personal responsibility for the impact of thoughts.
I believe that thoughts can change my body
Personal conviction in the transformative power of thoughts.
You don't know me, your body can't change your mind
Highlighting the disconnect between self and others in understanding the mind.
