Eyes and Ears
Embracing Self-Acceptance: Liberating Lyrics Decoded
Lyrics
Always trying to impress everybody else
Expressing a constant effort to impress others.
But myself
Highlighting the absence of self-focus in the pursuit of impressing.
From the way I speak to the way I dress
Referring to the external influence on speech and attire choices.
It's always for somebody else
Emphasizing that actions are always directed towards pleasing others.
What the hell
Expressing frustration or confusion about the situation.
Cause they always judge and see
Perception that others constantly judge and evaluate.
Or so I think
Qualifying the perception as a personal belief ("Or so I think").
All these eyes and ears on me
Awareness of attention from both eyes and ears (observation and listening).
Or so I think
Reiteration of the perceived scrutiny by others.
Soul is hiding in my head
Mentioning the soul being concealed in the mind.
This needs to end
Expressing a desire for the concealment or judgment to end.
Be myself
An appeal to embrace one's true self.
From the way I speak to the way I dress
Connecting authenticity to speech and attire choices.
It's gotta be for myself
Stressing the importance of personal fulfillment in choices.
No one else
Clarifying that authenticity is for oneself, not for others.
But they always judge and see
Reiteration of the belief that others consistently judge.
Or so I think
Qualifying the repeated belief in others' judgment.
All these eyes and ears on me
Highlighting the continuous attention from both eyes and ears.
Or so I think
Reaffirming the perception of being under scrutiny.
Cause they always judge and see
Repetition of the idea that others consistently judge.
Or so I think
Requalifying the repeated belief in others' judgment.
All these eyes and ears on me
Emphasizing the continuous attention from both eyes and ears.
Or so I think
Reiterating the perception of being under scrutiny.
All these eyes and ears on me
Further repetition of the idea that others consistently judge.
Or so I think
Concluding with a requalification of the belief in others' judgment.
