Unveiling Shadows: Chantel Charis' 'Close' Reveals the Masks We Wear
Lyrics
You say you have friends in higher places
You claim to have connections with influential people.
But you don't know how low you go
You are unaware of how morally questionable your actions are.
You say you show your true colors on your face but
You assert that your emotions are transparent, but I believe you selectively reveal them.
I think you choose what to show
You have the ability to control what aspects of yourself you present to others.
They tell me I have to fake it
People advise me to pretend or deceive, providing false optimism.
They give me false hope
I am given false expectations that lead to disappointment.
Ignorance and bliss are their blankets
Being unaware and content is a shield for some, making it easier to avoid harsh realities.
Sometimes it's easier to not know
Not knowing certain truths can be less challenging.
I don't want to be close anymore to you
I no longer wish to be emotionally close to you.
I don't want to get hurt anymore by you
I don't want to experience emotional pain caused by you anymore.
Sleepwalkers at least they dream
Sleepwalkers, despite their unawareness, have the luxury of dreaming.
You walk around with your eyes closed
You navigate life with closed eyes, oblivious to important aspects.
You don't look that different to me
Your behavior doesn't appear significantly different to me.
You say that you have grown
You claim personal growth, but it's not evident to me.
I don't want to be close anymore to you
I want emotional distance from you.
I don't want to get hurt anymore by you
I don't want to endure any more emotional pain caused by you.
