Lyrics
Staring through the lens of past mistakes
Reflecting on past mistakes and experiences.
With one eye open and one that's not mine
Viewing things from different perspectives.
I don't want this, I don't want this to be the end
Expressing a desire for the situation not to end.
In a life of longing I never thought that it would end like this
Surprised at the unexpected ending in a life of yearning.
Remain still
Choosing to stay still or stagnant.
I suppose I'll pay my toll to take control of you
Willing to make sacrifices to gain control.
What am I without you
Questioning identity without the presence of someone.
I'm just a man, a man with broken hands
Feeling flawed and broken.
Facing his ignorance, full of arrogance, living in dissonance, without resemblance
Confronting one's shortcomings, arrogance, and lack of resemblance to someone.
Without you
Feeling incomplete without the mentioned person.
I know I'm growing
Aware of personal growth despite resistance.
Growing slowly but stillness still resists
Growth hindered by an existing state of stillness or inertia.
From the shadows approach my passenger
A metaphorical reference to a part of oneself.
I feel you there fare payer
Feeling the presence of this metaphorical part.
Dead ringer
Strong resemblance or similarity.
Can't they see me through you
Questioning if others can perceive the true self through this metaphorical part.
Why can't they see me through you
Questioning why others can't see the real self.
Flickering thoughts remain
Uncertain and fleeting thoughts.
Will I retain or fade
Wondering if one's essence will endure or diminish.
It's all the same to me
Feeling indifferent about outcomes.
Can you see me through the outlines
Questioning if others can perceive the real self through the outer appearance.
I'm slipping slowly
Gradually losing grasp or control.
I don't know what I am
Uncertain about self-identity.
So don't wait for the day I arrive so contrived full of lies not ready to face what's inside
Avoiding facing one's internal truth.
All my life I've been staring
Lifelong contemplation or introspection.
With eyes that aren't mine
Seeing the world through a different perspective or someone else's eyes.
I don't want to live a life that's so contrived
Rejecting a life that feels artificial or fake.
Staring through the lens of past mistakes
Reflecting on past mistakes again.
My fate is sealed I'm never healed but I'm
Feeling permanently damaged without healing.
Growing slowly but stillness resists
Growth hindered by persistent stillness.
From the shadows approach my passenger
Metaphorical reference to an inner passenger or aspect.
I feel you there fare payer
Sensing the presence of this internal aspect as a contributor.
Dead ringer
Strong resemblance or similarity (repeated).
I'm growing slowly
Emphasizing slow personal growth.
I'm growing slowly
Reiteration of gradual personal growth.
I'm growing slowly
Continued emphasis on slow personal growth.
I'm growing slowly
Repetition highlighting the slow pace of personal growth.
Growing slowly but stillness resists
Growth hindered by persistent stillness (repeated).
Why do I resist
Questioning the resistance to change.
