Pure Honesty
Echoes of Redemption: Casey West's Journey Through Sin and Courage
Lyrics
Well I've carried my weight in lies and complaints
Expressing a history of carrying the burden of deceit and complaints.
No regrets were wasted by the lining of hate
No remorse for wasted time on hatred.
At the alter I'll bow
A commitment to humility and reverence, possibly in a spiritual context.
Before the my time has run out
A sense of urgency to acknowledge mistakes before time runs out.
And my sins burn heavy off my feet
The weight of sins being felt and acknowledged.
As the days turn to nights I'll settle for a lady
Seeking companionship in a woman who can share the burdens of life.
Who can burden my mind with the never ending sound
Describing the constant mental noise caused by life's challenges.
Of the troubles brought on
Reflection on troubles that have been brought on.
Through a day of endless gossip
The impact of endless gossip and its repercussions.
And keeps my tail tucked away by the ground
Desiring a partner who provides comfort and support.
And I'll walk through the streets with a high and mighty courage
Projecting a confident demeanor while navigating life.
My mistakes will ride weary 'til the end
Acceptance of enduring consequences for past mistakes.
Learn many a lesson to the ways of the world
Acknowledging the lessons learned from worldly experiences.
Change the sound to help cope with my sins
Adapting and changing behavior to cope with personal sins.
Landscape is a living that can't be untaught
Viewing life as an unchangeable lesson that has been learned.
Though I've planted my roots through the ages
Establishing roots and connections throughout one's life.
And sitting in my cowardly ways
Reflecting on cowardly behavior in the face of challenges.
As I pass through the darkness
Navigating through dark and unfulfilled experiences.
Of the unfilled passengers boat
A metaphorical journey through challenging times.
Though I ride through valley of the shadow of death
A reference to facing mortality and challenges in life.
I take a look at the vision that's clouded my health
Reflecting on the impact of obscured visions on one's well-being.
With the ruins of stones
The remnants of mistakes that cannot be undone.
I've thrown deep down in the holler
Referring to regrets and burdens buried deep within.
That I can't unbury myself
Acknowledging the inability to escape past mistakes.
And I'll walk through the streets with a high and mighty courage
Reiteration of projecting confidence in the face of challenges.
My mistakes will ride weary 'til the end
Acceptance of the enduring nature of personal mistakes.
Learn many a lesson to the ways of the world
Continued learning from life's experiences.
Change the sound to help cope with my sins
Adapting and changing behavior to cope with ongoing sins.
When the devil came in and ripped me apart
A metaphorical encounter with personal demons and struggles.
I let the blood run warm over my fingers
A graphic portrayal of facing consequences with the shedding of blood.
And time was the only welt left
Time as a healer, with scars as the only reminders of past pain.
Over from that day
Highlighting a turning point marked by a rush of emotions.
As the rush came insane on the wind
The intensity of emotions overwhelming the individual.
When all else fails I'll turn to my ego
Turning to ego as a defense mechanism in moments of failure.
Brush away all hope in the sight of my heroes
Disillusionment and abandoning hope inspired by personal heroes.
With nowhere to land with an epic arrival
A sense of aimlessness and lack of a grand entrance in life.
And I'll burn down in hell all the same
Acknowledging a descent into metaphorical hell despite courage.
But I'll walk through the streets with a high and mighty courage
Reiteration of projecting confidence despite enduring mistakes.
My mistakes will ride weary 'til the end
Acceptance of the enduring nature of personal mistakes.
Learn many a lesson to the ways of the world
Continued learning from life's experiences.
Change the sound to help cope with my sins
Adapting and changing behavior to cope with ongoing sins.
Change the sound to help cope with my sins
Repetition of changing behavior to cope with personal sins.
