Arm's Length
Embrace the Distance: Unveiling Life's Choices in 'Arm's Length'
Lyrics
Some great predictors playing with your cards
There are influential individuals predicting or influencing your actions.
Pushing you forwards, twisting your arm
These influencers are urging you forward, exerting pressure on you.
Trying to convince you that holding what you want
They attempt to persuade you that prioritizing desires over needs is causing a separation.
Over what you need is keeping you apart
Choosing what you want over what you truly require is creating a distance.
From who you want to be
This separation is preventing you from becoming the person you aspire to be.
You've been driving in the dark
You've been navigating through uncertainty or difficulties.
Too long to be aware of where you are
Having been in the dark for too long, you're unaware of your current position.
In your shame you take shape as you are
Your shame defines your current state.
Life from an arms length away
Your life is observed or experienced from a distant perspective.
Running mental fingers over mental knots
You analyze and navigate through mental challenges.
Forced into words, organized and stopped
Forced to express thoughts verbally, leading to organization and cessation.
You've been driving in the dark
Similar to line 6, emphasizing a prolonged period of uncertainty or difficulty.
Too long to be aware of where you are
Reiteration of being unaware due to extended time in the dark.
In your shame you take shape as you are
Emphasis on shame shaping your current identity.
Life from an arms length away
Reiteration of life being observed from a distance.
Holding what you want
Choosing what you desire.
Over what you need
Emphasizes prioritizing wants over needs.
Holding being part
Prioritizing belonging or attachment.
Over being free
Choosing security over freedom.
Knowing who you are
Understanding your identity.
And who you want to be
Awareness of both your current state and desired self.
