Lyrics
I am one of these dumb wise men
Feels like one of those who may not seem intelligent but possess wisdom.
So I've much ado to know myself
Struggling greatly to understand oneself.
I don't know how to get clear
Uncertain how to find clarity amid deep emotions or debts.
with all the depths I owe
Overwhelmed by the depth of emotions or responsibilities.
through the hour-glass they flow
Time passes quickly like sand through an hourglass.
I don't know the free and offered light
Unaware of the readily available guidance or help.
The lighting of my being is as bright
Self-awareness isn't as clear or prominent as it should be.
If I break the day, what would I gain?
Unsure of the benefits if the day (opportunity) were seized.
To hold a candle lighting shame?
Questioning the value of exposing personal vulnerabilities.
I desire no delight, no more delight
No longer seeking joy or pleasure.
All knowledge is now burning in my eyes
All knowledge is now overwhelming and burdensome.
You promise me blush life
Expectation for a vibrant life contrasted against a willingness to sacrifice.
I stand for sacrifice
Ready to make sacrifices for a cause or belief.
I wish You all the joy that You can wish
Wishing immense joy for someone else.
Spirits dull at night
Feelings or spirits become numb or inactive during the night.
I think You are denied
Belief that the other person is being deprived or not understanding.
The light we see is burning in my eyes
The brightness or illumination seen is from intense emotions or knowledge.
I don't show teeth in way of smile
Not showing happiness or joy outwardly.
I only see the hour-glass how it runs
Constantly observing time passing.
By yonder-moon I swear You do me wrong
Swearing by the moon, feeling unjustly treated.
With my own hands I strike You honour down
Feeling the need to damage one's honor or reputation.
