Pride and Shame
Navigating Pride and Shame: The Enduring Pain of Separation
Lyrics
Pride is only temporary
Pride is a fleeting emotion that doesn't last permanently.
It's only in your mind
Pride exists only in the realm of one's thoughts and perceptions.
This pain will last forever
The pain being referred to here is enduring and seemingly endless.
It's never gonna die
This pain is persistent and will not diminish or cease.
Pride is only temporary
Similar to the first line, pride is emphasized as transitory.
It's only in our head
Again, pride is described as a mental construct, not a tangible reality.
This pain of separation
The agony of being separated from something or someone will endure.
Will never go away
The separation's pain is emphasized to be persistent and unending.
It seems like pride is everywhere these days
Observation that pride seems prevalent in contemporary times.
It's just an ego trip
Pride is portrayed as a self-indulgent journey of the ego.
It comes from never knowing
Pride stems from a lack of self-awareness and understanding.
Who we are and where we fit
The source of pride is linked to not knowing one's identity and place in the world.
Pride and shame
The combination of pride and shame is introduced as a theme.
Are tools they use
Pride and shame are depicted as tools wielded to create confusion.
That keep us in confusion
These emotions are described as mechanisms that maintain a state of perplexity.
But when you know
A shift in perspective – recognizing oneself as both insignificant and significant.
You're nothing and everything too
A philosophical statement acknowledging the dual nature of existence.
