The View
Echoes of Self-Discovery: The View by Edge of Chaos
Lyrics
Here I stand once again, going down the roads I tread
Reflecting on returning to familiar paths and experiences
Falling backwards through the mirror
Descending into a state of regression or self-reflection
Face-to-face with the unknown, under iron bars I roam
Confronting the unfamiliar while being confined
Ruination drawing nearer
Approaching destruction or deterioration
So show me what I don't want to see
Requesting exposure to unpleasant truths
I know that you will show me me
Acknowledging the inevitability of self-revelation
Wrapped inside that look you gave
Being influenced by a significant, impactful gaze or expression
So show me what I don't want to see
Reiterating the desire to see uncomfortable truths
I know that you will show me me
Acknowledging the expected revelation of one's true self
This will be my grave
Anticipating the consequences of facing uncomfortable realities
And I like the view
Expressing contentment or acceptance of the current perspective
Lying face-down on the floor, smell like half a liquor store
Describing a state of inebriation and its consequences
Memories spinning around me
Recalling past memories that surround the individual
The echo of the ticking clock reminds me of everything I'm not
Linking time (ticking clock) to a realization of personal limitations
Break the mirror so I can't see
Desire to break away from self-reflection or self-awareness
So show me what I don't want to see
Repeating the plea to witness uncomfortable truths
I know that you will show me me
Confident in the inevitability of self-revelation
Wrapped inside that look you gave
Reiterating the impact of a significant look or gaze
So show me what I don't want to see
Expressing willingness to face uncomfortable realities
I know that you will show me me
Anticipating the revelation of one's true self
This will be my grave
Accepting the consequences of facing uncomfortable truths
And I like the view
Reaffirming contentment or acceptance of the current perspective
So show me what I don't want to see
Continuing the plea to witness uncomfortable truths
I know that you will show me me
Acknowledging the expected revelation of one's true self
Wrapped inside that look you gave
Highlighting the impact of a significant look or gaze
So show me what I don't want to see
Repeating the desire to see uncomfortable truths
I know that you will show me me
Confident in the inevitability of self-revelation
This will be my grave
Accepting the consequences of facing uncomfortable realities
And I like the view
Reaffirming contentment or acceptance of the current perspective
