Level on the Inside
Unveiling Depths: A Journey Through Inner Honesty in 'Level on the Inside'
Lyrics
You sit me down to explain all
You're sitting down to discuss the challenges you've faced.
the trials you've endured
Describing the difficulties endured in the past.
Around and around the refrain
Repeatedly going over the same story or theme.
rings the same each time it's heard
The recurring nature of the story or theme every time it's told.
Entertain the notion,
Considering or contemplating an idea or possibility.
entertain the notion
-That the only thing I hear is
Suggesting that what's heard may not be genuine, possibly a fake smile.
the crack of a smile in a face
The insincerity behind a smiling face.
That ain't so sincere
Questioning the sincerity of the speaker.
When I'm measuring out your qualities
Evaluating the speaker's qualities.
It is only as deep as your modesty
The depth of qualities is limited to modesty.
As your insides fall to pieces,
The inner self falling apart.
shattered by the silent treatment
Being emotionally hurt by silent treatment.
Things are only fragile 'til they break
Things are delicate until they break.
Feigning your humility
Pretending to be humble.
It only serves to weaken the most
False humility weakens common observations.
common observations that you make
Weakening general insights with insincere actions.
Drown me out in conversation,
Being ignored in conversation.
surf a wave of provocation
Deliberately provoking or challenging.
Wash away my interest in your wake
Ignoring the speaker's interest.
I think you can, reach a place
Believing one can achieve genuine purity of intent.
where the impetus is pure
Understanding the impetus behind actions.
You'll understand, a disgrace is
A disgraceful act leads to genuine feelings.
the thing that makes us feel..
Reflecting on emotions caused by disgrace.
"Level on the inside,
Expressing contentment with being true internally and externally without the need to display it.
level on the outside"
-I'm content to know it
-Level on the inside,
-level on the outside
-I don't need to show it
Not feeling the necessity to outwardly demonstrate authenticity.
