Sharp Practice
Unraveling the Soul's Dilemma in Circa Survive's Sharp Practice
Lyrics
Tripping over things unsaid in a constant motion
Struggling with unspoken thoughts in a continuous movement.
I cannot recognize the truth 'cause it's unfamiliar
Unable to identify the truth because it feels unfamiliar.
If you didn't have so much left to prove, would there be resistance?
Questioning if resistance would exist if there wasn't much left to prove.
Kicking up this cloud of dust till it covers us
Stirring up a cloud of confusion until it envelops everything.
I had been there and done it a thousand times but never with my eyes open
Experiencing things repeatedly but never with full awareness.
You get what you paid for
Suggesting that one receives what they pay for, possibly in life's experiences.
We can't sell our
Expressing a loss of the ability to sell one's soul.
Goddamn souls anymore, anymore
Reinforcing the idea that souls can't be sold anymore.
Don't let them give you the runaround again, again
Advising against being deceived again and again.
It's up to you to make sense of it
Empowering the listener to find meaning in their experiences.
Yeah, Talk
An invitation or command to talk and express oneself.
No one hesitates to taste when they come and throw the feed down
Indicating a lack of hesitation to indulge when an opportunity arises.
If you wanna not make haste, keep your feet on the ground
Encouraging a measured and deliberate approach, staying grounded.
I see you coming from a million miles away like a stampede of footsteps
Anticipating someone's arrival from afar, likened to a stampede.
Kicking up this cloud of dust till it covers us
Repeating the idea of creating confusion until it envelops.
You can't control what has happened to your heart
Suggesting a lack of control over the heart until it is given away.
Till you give it away, till you give it away
Emphasizing the need to give away the heart to understand it.
You get what you paid for
Reiterating the concept of receiving what one has paid for.
We can't sell our
Stating the inability to sell one's soul anymore.
Goddamn souls anymore, anymore
Repeating the idea of souls being invaluable now.
Don't let them give you the runaround again, again
Warning against being deceived repeatedly.
It's up to you to make sense of it
Encouraging the listener to find their own understanding.
So many words flooded inmy vacant lie
Describing a flood of words in a false or empty existence.
So little space, too little sleep, too little time
Highlighting constraints of space, sleep, and time.
Tripping over things unsaid in a constant motion
Repeating the struggle with unspoken thoughts in constant motion.
I cannot recognize the truth 'cause I've never known it
Expressing an inability to recognize the truth due to lack of familiarity.
I've never known it, I've never known it, known
Reiterating a lack of knowledge about the truth.
You get what you paid for
Restating the idea of getting what one has paid for.
We can't sell our
Emphasizing the inability to sell one's soul anymore.
Goddamn souls anymore, anymore
Repeating the concept of souls being invaluable now.
Don't let them give you the runaround again, again
Advising against falling for deception repeatedly.
It's up to you to make sense of it
Encouraging the listener to make sense of their experiences.
I see you coming from a million miles away
Anticipating someone's approach from a great distance.
I see you coming from a million miles away
Repeating the anticipation of someone's arrival from afar.
