Signs
Unveiling Shadows: The Dark Journey of Self-Deception in 'Signs'
Lyrics
Let's talk
Initiating a conversation.
Now that you're lying down to your worst achievement
Reflecting on a significant failure or mistake.
Why don't you ask yourselves when you lost your own reflection
Encouraging self-reflection on the loss of identity.
A shadow hiding the weakness
Describing a concealed vulnerability or flaw.
Believe in your dreams as much as you can beat death
Urging belief in dreams despite the inevitability of death.
But everything ends and you can't fight this
Acknowledging the inescapable end and futility of resistance.
You hid the sun which lit your way
Concealing the positive influences that guided one's path.
You roam through the dark, a veil on eyes
Wandering in darkness with obscured vision.
Some will bow, will fear, some will pray
Anticipating varied reactions to deception: bowing, fearing, praying.
When you will get lost in your own lies
Warning of the consequences when falsehood consumes.
Believe in your dreams as much as you can live this
Encouraging faith in dreams despite their inevitable end.
But everything ends, everything was pointless
Acknowledging the pointlessness of everything's end.
You had the chance to be
Reflecting on a missed opportunity to exist meaningfully.
Miracle to disgrace
Balancing the potential for greatness with disgrace.
You had the chance to be
Reiterating the missed chance for significance.
I want to see the signs to know where go these lives
Expressing a desire to perceive signs guiding life's direction.
Even if i clearly feel the fall of your enterprise
Acknowledging the tangible decline of an undertaking.
Burning your children's hands and crying for the reverse
Metaphorically referencing harm to the next generation and seeking reversal.
Of your supplice
Describing a plea for relief from torment.
Why don't you face your reality
Challenging the avoidance of confronting one's true situation.
Tell me why
Prompting an inquiry into the reasons for denial.
We want to see the signs to know where go these lives
Reiterating the desire for guidance amid life's uncertainties.
Even if we clearly feel the fall of your enterprise
Acknowledging the perceptible decline in collective endeavors.
Burning your children's hands and crying for the reverse
Metaphorically referencing harm to the next generation and seeking reversal (repeated).
Of our supplice
Expressing shared suffering and a plea for relief (repeated).
