Building Walls
Breaking Chains: Unmasking Life's Paradoxes in Evan Denley's Melody
Lyrics
I figured out where it's at
I have discovered the true nature or essence of something.
Let's live our lives behind masks
Let's hide our true selves behind facades or masks.
We'll keep our troubles in silence
We'll keep our problems and difficulties to ourselves without expressing them.
I heard it's simple like that
I've heard that life is straightforward or uncomplicated in that manner.
We should stay between the lines
We should adhere to established boundaries or rules.
Stoned, sedated, hypnotized
Feeling numb, calm, and entranced.
Soon we'll be paraded to the sky
In the future, we will be celebrated or praised, perhaps in an exaggerated way.
With common sense out of view
Practical and logical thinking is no longer considered or visible.
We're taking constant abuse
We endure ongoing mistreatment or harm.
You wouldn't know cause we're smiling
You wouldn't realize our struggles because we present a happy facade.
We're happy, what's it to you?
We are content, and it's none of your business.
I don't think that I can take it
I feel overwhelmed and don't believe I can handle it.
Building walls is overrated, overrated
The act of constructing emotional barriers is not as valuable as perceived.
So much for taking it slow
Our attempt at slowing down or being cautious has failed.
You left us nowhere to go
You've left us with no options or alternatives.
I think my ego's a tyrant
I recognize that my self-importance is oppressive or domineering.
You think you're Marilyn Monroe
You believe yourself to be an iconic figure like Marilyn Monroe.
You were trying to be somebody
You were attempting to be someone significant.
I was trying to see myself
I was trying to understand my own identity.
All the days with you and I became somebody else, somebody else
All the time spent with you has changed me into a different person.
Oh the people all around me
People surrounding me have unwavering skepticism or lack of belief.
They've got unshakable doubt
They possess doubts that cannot be easily shaken.
And the reason far as I can see
The rationale, as far as I can discern, will lead them to a grave outcome.
Soon they'll be six feet down
In the near future, they will face the consequences, possibly death.
Blame, distortion in our eyes
Responsibility and misrepresentation affect our perspective.
Our freedom's getting pulverized
Our freedom is being gradually destroyed or dismantled.
Soon we'll be paraded to the sky
Soon, we will be celebrated or praised in the sky, possibly in an ironic sense.
