Clearing Skies
Embracing Shadows: Unveiling the Hidden Depths of 'Clearing Skies'
Lyrics
Our backs can never carry these atrocities around
Carrying the weight of terrible deeds is impossible for us.
So we focus on what's safely within reach to market our concerns
We concentrate on manageable issues to express our concerns.
Inside this time and place, there is nothing more you can be to me
In the current time and place, nothing else defines our connection.
Bring out your fear, bring out your death, bring out your pain
Face and confront your fears, death, and pain.
For now we lie, we lie to ourselves to live
We deceive ourselves for survival.
Sorrow will find you
Sorrow is inevitable and will eventually find you.
You're the only one who knows things I never say
You possess knowledge of things I keep silent about.
When nothing can be done 'til skies are clear again
There's a standstill until the troubles are resolved.
These are things we never talk about
Avoiding discussion about certain issues.
But hear me out this time
A plea to be heard and understood this time.
I know one day that sorrow will find you
Anticipation that sorrow will eventually affect you.
Let your heroes burn their crowns, you're better than this I know
Encouragement to let go of prestigious titles; you're better than that.
This world can change the best of us
The world can transform even the best among us.
Sometimes for the worst
Changes can sometimes be for the worse.
Sometimes for the ones we try to hold
Changes affect those we try to keep close.
The ones we hold on to
We try to hold onto certain individuals.
Bring out yout fear, bring out your death
Reiteration to confront fear and death.
For now we lie, we lie to ourselves to live
Continuing self-deception for survival.
Sorrow will find you
Reiteration that sorrow will eventually find you.
You're the only one who knows things I never say
You are the only one aware of my unspoken thoughts.
When nothing can be done 'til skies are clear again
Waiting for resolution until the troubles clear away.
These are things we never talk about
Reiterating the avoidance of certain topics in conversation.
So hear me out this time
A plea to be heard and understood, emphasizing the inevitability of sorrow.
I know one day that sorrow will find you
Expressing the certainty that sorrow will find you at some point.
