Lyrics
Full of temptation, heart palpitating
Feeling tempted, heart racing with excitement or anxiety
Hard to stop racing, always the same thing
Difficult to halt the rapid pace, stuck in a repetitive cycle
Stuck like a painting, thoughts rearranging,
Feeling trapped like a painting, thoughts undergoing rearrangement
Love that is wasted, all the...
Love that is squandered or unfulfilled, leading to...
Whatever you do, whatever you say
An admonition to be cautious about actions and words
They can find a way to turn against you
People may find a way to turn against you despite your intentions
Don't let them get in your way
Don't let others obstruct your path
Nobody knows you like your friends do
Your true self is understood best by close friends
So close as your enemies lay
Enemies may be close, but keep them at bay
You kept them there where nothing else grew
Keeping negative influences away from personal growth
You let them grow up like a mushroom
Allowing detrimental influences to grow unchecked
So much room inside yourself
Abundance of inner space within oneself
That’s where you hide yourself
Self-isolation or hiding within one's thoughts
When will you emerge from the cocoon?
Questioning when personal transformation will occur
Or will you hold it for emergency rooms?
Considering whether change should be immediate or saved for emergencies
Nobody knows you if you murder the truth
Being unknown if one distorts or denies the truth
Gotta give it air, gotta give it light
Importance of exposing the truth to light and air
Facing your fears doesn’t make them right
Facing fears doesn't justify them
And your concerns are legitimate
Acknowledging legitimate concerns
But if you can’t see ‘em them how can you fight ‘em?
Questioning the ability to fight unseen issues
I could try to leave I could try to stifle
Contemplating leaving or suppressing beliefs
What I believe to be true and righteous
Struggling with holding onto what is believed to be true and just
I could delay the inevitable
Delaying the inevitable but considering it
And at times I think I might just
Thoughts of postponing decisions
But I remember that the way is long and winding
Acknowledging the challenges in the journey of self-discovery
And I’m trying just to pray and find where I fit
Attempting to pray and find one's place
If I leave will I stop to look behind me?
Considering the consequences of leaving
All I know is it’s a loop, I’m stuck behind me
Feeling stuck in a repetitive loop
Do you want to leave, do you want to breathe?
Questioning the desire to leave or experience something new
Do you want a real sensation?
Desiring genuine and intense experiences
Do you want to turn a new leaf
Contemplating a fresh start or change
Or do you want to keep on waiting?
Deciding whether to continue waiting or take action
And yes you do need patience
Recognizing the necessity of patience
In the operation room you keep pacing
Feeling restless in a situation that requires patience
Full of temptation, heart palpitating
Reiteration of feeling tempted, heart racing
Hard to stop racing, always the same thing
Continuing the struggle with a repetitive cycle
Stuck like a painting, thoughts rearranging,
Persisting in feeling trapped and having thoughts rearranged
Love that is wasted, all the frustration,
Re-emphasizing the frustration of wasted love
All of it tasteless, stuck like the tail-end of procrastination
Describing various negative emotions as tasteless and procrastination
All in the name of protecting the framerate
Alluding to protective measures affecting the smooth flow of life
Crumpled-up flowers rolled under the freight train
Mentioning destruction symbolized by crumpled flowers under a freight train
The touch of the fragrance, shut down for maintenance
Referencing a loss of sensory pleasure temporarily for maintenance
Scentless but ever so painless
Acknowledging a painless state without a particular scent
