Dead by Noon
Embracing Authenticity: Dead by Noon's Revelations
Lyrics
A thick haze covered it all
A pervasive confusion or obscurity covered everything.
Melting things like a boiling oil
Things were dissolving or disintegrating like heated oil.
The town was dead before noon
The town experienced a lifelessness or stillness before midday.
I had to leave or I'd be too
The singer felt compelled to depart to avoid the same fate.
I'd rather leave
Expressing a preference to leave a situation.
Than pretend to be
Choosing authenticity over pretending to be something one is not.
What I am not
Rejecting the idea of adopting a false persona.
Turning against me
Facing opposition or conflict from oneself.
I'd rather leave
Reiterating a preference to leave rather than pretend.
Than pretend to be
Choosing not to feign being the next successful figure.
The next big shot
Avoiding the pursuit of becoming a prominent or influential figure.
For others to see
Rejecting the desire for validation or recognition from others.
The day turned dark as the longest night
The atmosphere became as dark as the longest night.
Sending shivers down my spine
An eerie feeling or fear ran down the singer's spine.
Strange things started taking place
Unusual events or phenomena began occurring.
A vision brought by another race
A supernatural or extraterrestrial vision appeared.
I'd rather leave
Repeating the preference to leave rather than pretend.
Than pretend to be
Choosing authenticity over adopting a false identity.
What I am not
Rejecting the idea of turning against one's true self.
Turning against me
Facing internal conflict or opposition.
I'd rather leave
Reiterating the preference to leave instead of pretending.
Than pretend to be
Avoiding the act of feigning a role or identity.
The next big shot
Rejecting the pursuit of becoming a highly successful individual.
For others to see
Choosing not to seek recognition or fame from others.
