Be Honest
Confronting Fears: Unveiling Inner Turmoil in 'Be Honest' by Dom the Composer
Lyrics
You fear the things you want the most
You are afraid of the things you desire the most.
I fear the ghosts that stare
I am afraid of the lingering presence of ghosts.
You fear a heart that burns too long
You fear a passionate and enduring heart.
I fear the heart I have
I fear the heart that I possess.
Weigh on it
Weigh on the heart, contemplate it.
Be honest
Be truthful about your emotions and feelings.
Weigh on it
Weigh on the heart, reflect on it.
Be honest, tell me
Be honest, disclose your true thoughts to me.
Can you ride a ship
Can you navigate through life without confronting challenges?
And never face the waves
A metaphor: facing the waves symbolizes confronting difficulties.
Can you trust the hands
Can you have faith in actions that have not embraced experiences?
That never held a face
Distrustful of hands that lack the touch of familiarity.
And be honest, just be honest
Reiterating the importance of honesty in expression.
I hate the thoughts that wander off
Expressing dislike for thoughts that drift away unexpectedly.
The ones I have to chase
The need to pursue thoughts that elude and require effort to catch.
The ones that make me think too long
Discomfort with thoughts that demand prolonged contemplation.
The ones I never want
Rejecting thoughts that one does not wish to entertain.
Weigh on it
Weigh on the heart, reflect upon it.
Be honest
Emphasizing the need for honesty in self-reflection.
Weigh on it
Weigh on the heart, contemplate it.
Be honest, tell me
Urge for honesty, request the truth from the other person.
Can you ride a ship
Repetition of the earlier metaphor with sailing and facing challenges.
And never face the waves
Reiterating the importance of facing life's difficulties.
Can you trust the hands
Questioning the reliability of hands that lack experience.
That never held a face
Expressing skepticism toward actions that lack personal connections.
And be honest, just be honest
Emphasizing the need for honesty in communication and relationships.
Can you ride a ship
Pondering if one can navigate challenges without facing them.
That never faced the waves
Metaphorically exploring the idea of avoiding life's difficulties.
Can you hold the hands
Questioning the stability of hands that constantly tremble.
That always seem to shake
Doubting the reliability of shaky and uncertain actions.
And be honest, just be honest
Reiterating the importance of honesty in various aspects of life.
Just be honest
An overarching plea for sincerity and truthfulness in all matters.
