Lyrics

Who, who never showed you,

Questioning someone who failed to guide or mentor you.

About the easy way,

Inquiring about an uncomplicated or effortless approach to life.

Whose robes did they trade you,

Asking whose values or principles were exchanged for an easy life.

For such an easy life

Reflecting on the exchange of values for a comfortable existence.


Who, who never showed you,

Reiterating the question about a lack of guidance.

About the easy way,

Reiterating the desire to know about an uncomplicated life.

Who, who never told you,

Asking about someone who failed to inform or advise.

About the perfect life,

Questioning the absence of information about an ideal life.

Guess it's some kind of,

Suggesting the presence of a certain assurance or promise.

Some guarantee,

Speculating on the existence of a guarantee with no visual confirmation.

You'll never see.

Expressing doubt about ever witnessing this guarantee.


If I was a photographer,

Imagining being a photographer and capturing moments.

Picture taking,

Referring to the act of taking pictures.

Beautiful people,

Photographing individuals perceived as attractive or significant.

I guess I'd make a mistake,

Anticipating making a mistake due to capturing a specific person.

Cause I'd probably take a,

Acknowledging a potential error in taking a photo.

Picture of you.

Imagining taking a photograph of the person being addressed.


Who, who never showed you,

Repeating the desire to know about an easy life.

About the easy way.

Reiterating the inquiry about a straightforward existence.


And whose robes did they trade you,

Repeating the question about the exchange of values for an ideal life.

For such a perfect life,

Questioning the trade of principles for a perfect life.

That's such a guarantee.

Asserting that a perfect life is a guaranteed outcome.


It leaves some certain sickness,

Expressing that the sickness is unknown to others.

You'll never know,

Emphasizing that the sickness resides within the speaker.

Inside of me

Concluding the acknowledgment of inner discomfort.


That's all I have.

Concluding the lyrics with a statement about the limited information shared.
