New Direction
Navigating Shadows: A Journey Beyond Pain and Blindness
Lyrics
I put my finger on the pain
I attempted to identify the source of my pain
It was nothing, it was just the smell
The pain turned out to be insignificant, akin to a scent after rain
After the rain
Referring to a sense of relief or insignificance after hardship
It was nothing, it was
Reiteration that the pain was insignificant
Just the warm ground beneath my feet
The pain was merely the solid ground beneath me
I put my finger on the pain
Revisiting the attempt to locate the pain
It was nothing,
Emphasizing the insignificance of the pain
It wasjust the shadow of her ghost,
It was merely a lingering memory or remnants of someone who's gone
It was nothing it was just the feeling
The feeling wasn't substantial; it was just a perception
That most things are ugly
A perception that most things are unattractive or unpleasant
That most things are ugly round here
Expressing that the environment is generally unappealing
- did I ever take my eyes off the horizon?
Questioning if attention was diverted from future aspirations
Lead the way from this place
Seeking guidance away from the current situation
And point me out a new direction
Requesting assistance in finding a new path or purpose
Everyone keep saying I'll be fine, fine, fine
Others assure me I'll be okay, repeatedly
I wonder if I'll wake one day to find my life
Contemplating waking up to find life wasted
Waisted behind me
The fear of life passing by without significant achievement
I took a peek into the sun
Curiosity about an idea or statement
To see if it was true
Checking the validity of a claim regarding the sun
What the blind girl said:
Reference to a statement made by a blind girl
"if you look long enough,
Implying the duration needed to perceive something significant
You will see the dead coming down..."
An ominous warning or foresight about death
I took a look into her eyes,
Looking into someone's eyes, finding nothing significant
I saw nothing but the sky
Seeing emptiness and something eternal, possibly love
And everlasting love
Feeling blinded by an overwhelming emotion or experience
And the feeling I've been blinded ever since
Feeling handicapped or impaired since arriving at a place
The day I was brought here,
Reflecting on the day of arrival at a certain location
Ever since the day I was brought to this place
Continued feeling of being stuck or restricted at that place
Did I ever take my mind off something dirty?
Considering if attention was diverted from something unpleasant
Always out of range. but I'll be feeling like
Feeling out of reach from a solution but continuing to endure
This 'til I drop dead,
A pessimistic view of enduring hardship until death
And everyone keep saying
Others continue to assure that lies are harmless
A lie is just a lie, lie, lie
A repetition of the idea that lies are acceptable
Just hope that I can fool myself,
Hoping to deceive oneself for a sense of well-being
Then I know I'll be alright
Believing that self-deception will lead to feeling okay
So lead the way from this place
Requesting guidance away from the current situation again
And point me out a new direction
Seeking direction toward a new path once more
