Intro
Deep Dive into the Colorful Shell of Self-Expression
Lyrics
You can dye yourself in deep blue all you want
You have the freedom to immerse yourself in deep emotions or experiences as much as you desire.
You can buy yourself
You can acquire material possessions for yourself.
If that's what you want
If material wealth is your desire, you can pursue it.
Now you're nothing but a shell
Currently, you seem devoid of genuine substance.
That changes colors all the time
Your identity is fluid, constantly changing its colors.
This thin surface gets boring
Your superficial existence becomes tedious.
But you don't let no one inside
You avoid letting anyone know your true self.
You don't let no one inside
You consistently keep others at a distance.
No, you don't let no one inside
You steadfastly refuse to allow anyone into your inner world.
You take pride in your self-expression
You take pride in expressing your individuality.
But can you draw a line?
However, can you establish boundaries?
Is it not just pride in possession?
Is your pride tied to ownership rather than genuine self-expression?
There's no more satisfaction
There is no longer a sense of fulfillment.
Only destruction and distraction
Destruction and distraction have replaced satisfaction.
The paper, though you'll never hold it in your hands
The symbolic paper, though unattainable, controls us.
Reigns us
Leadership or authority holds power over us.
And woods die
Nature is suffering and deteriorating.
And the planet is sick
The planet is in a state of illness.
And you're addicted
You are dependent on the fleeting pleasure of easy and inexpensive solutions.
To the feeling of a good, cheap, quick fix
There is a fixation on the temporary satisfaction of quick fixes.
Feeding the system with all that you have
You contribute everything you have to sustain a flawed system.
Feeding the system so it will feed you back
You invest in the system expecting it to reciprocate and provide for you.
You can dye yourself in deep blue all you want
You are free to immerse yourself in deep emotions as much as you want.
Now you're nothing but a shell
Presently, you are merely an empty vessel with ever-changing characteristics.
That changes colors all the time
Your superficial existence becomes monotonous.
This thin surface gets boring
The surface level of your identity loses its appeal.
But you don't let no one inside
You remain guarded, preventing others from truly knowing you.
You don't let no one inside
You persistently keep others at arm's length.
No, you don't let no one inside
You adamantly refuse to let anyone into your inner world.
Let no one inside
You are resolute in not allowing others access to your true self.
