Lyrics
I'm not the hero of the story
I acknowledge that I am not the central figure or hero in this narrative.
Tall tales with lightning sails
Stories filled with exaggerations and fantastical elements, symbolized by "lightning sails."
Depict another glory
These tales portray another form of glory or success, not necessarily my own.
It's not how I imagined it
The reality doesn't match my initial expectations or visions.
Closed eyes with dreams inside
Having closed eyes, I carry dreams within, but they don't align with reality.
Left prayers that never fit
Prayers left unfulfilled, indicating a sense of disconnect or unanswered pleas.
I manifest my narrative
I shape and control my own narrative, defining my experiences.
I give my reasons my disease gets to exist
I provide explanations for why my struggles or challenges persist.
And if my ship begins to list
If my situation becomes difficult, challenges arise.
Cold water rises
Adversity increases, symbolized by rising cold water.
And excises paralysis
Removes the state of paralysis or stagnation.
So now you see
A statement emphasizing a realization or revelation.
Where has the darkness been
Questioning the presence and duration of darkness in one's life.
Been waiting patiently
Implying a patient wait for a change or improvement.
This is where we sleep
This is a metaphorical space representing a state of rest or introspection.
So now you see
Repetition of the earlier theme of questioning darkness.
Where has the darkness been
Reiterating the enduring wait for change.
Been waiting patiently
Continuing the theme of patiently awaiting transformation.
This is where we sleep
Reiteration of a symbolic place of rest or reflection.
I have resided in discomfort
I have lived in discomfort, suggesting a prolonged state of unease.
I have presided over periods of disjuncture
I have overseen periods of disconnection or disruption.
So now you see
Repetition of the earlier realization about the presence of darkness.
Where has the darkness been
Reiterating the question about the existence and location of darkness.
Been waiting patiently
Continuing the patient anticipation of change or improvement.
I don't decide the end
Emphasizing a lack of control over the conclusion or outcome.
