Preconceptions
Navigating Destiny: Deadlights' Reflection on Choices
Lyrics
Am I avoiding my destiny
Contemplating whether I am avoiding my predetermined fate or path in life.
If I change what's coming to me?
Questioning if altering the future that is destined for me is advisable.
To take a step in the right direction
To move in the correct direction, one must take a decisive step.
And make your own you have to
To create a unique identity, one must assert independence and individuality.
Try to keep your wits about
Advising to maintain composure and mental clarity.
It gets difficult when you doubt
Challenges arise when doubt creeps in.
Everything and everyone
Cautioning against skepticism towards everything and everyone.
And you won't be outdone
Encouraging self-confidence and not being overshadowed by others.
Something small and insignificant
Even small and seemingly insignificant things can have a profound impact.
Can change so much
Highlighting the potential for significant change from minor events.
It makes me ask myself
Reflecting on the impact of events on personal identity.
Would I be who I am today
Contemplating how personal history shapes the present self.
If there had of been a slight change?
Speculating on the consequences of even slight alterations to past events.
If I had a different name?
Considering the influence of a different name on one's identity.
If the ropes around me started to fray
Imagining the impact if the constraints around oneself were to loosen.
Would you grab hold or have me erased?
Questioning loyalty and support in challenging situations.
There's nothing I know you don't
Asserting that there are no secrets between individuals.
There's just more than one way to skin a cat
Expressing the existence of multiple approaches to solving problems.
It's all about the approach and how much you let out of the hatch
Emphasizing the importance of strategy and discretion.
If you go too far you'll, you'll never get back
Warning against going too far, as it may be irreversible.
Peering off the edge of the preconceptions I had
Contemplating the preconceived notions and beliefs.
The sharper mind beats the stronger hand
Highlighting the superiority of intelligence over physical strength.
The weakest point in the bluntest man
Pointing out the vulnerability in seemingly strong individuals.
Would I be who I am today
Reiterating the impact of personal history on current identity.
If there had of been a slight change?
Continuing to explore the consequences of slight changes to the past.
If I had a different name?
Considering the potential influence of a different identity.
(I'd like to think I'd be the same)
Expressing a desire to believe in continuity despite external changes.
If the ropes around me started to fray
Exploring the impact of loosening constraints on personal relationships.
Would you grab hold or have me erased?
Raising the question of loyalty and commitment in challenging times.
We will never know how much impact we have
Contemplating the uncertainty of the impact one has on others.
(Try to keep your wits about)
Reiterating the importance of maintaining mental clarity.
We can only try to make what we do important
Encouraging individuals to make meaningful contributions to the world.
(It gets difficult when you doubt)
Recognizing the challenges that arise when doubt sets in.
To assure that we don't disconnect
Emphasizing the need to stay connected with others and avoid isolation.
From the people that we affect
Stressing the importance of recognizing the impact on people around us.
But if the ropes around me started to fray
Returning to the theme of the potential consequences of loosening constraints.
If the ropes around me started to fray
Reiterating the hypothetical scenario of constraints unraveling.
