Don't Follow Me
Unveiling Hidden Truths: Fates Warning's Cryptic Confessions
Lyrics
Through another late night confession
Confessing during another late night
Told to a captive audience
Sharing to a captivated audience
And YOU listen with your ear to the door
Listener eagerly anticipating insights
Waiting for pearls of wisdom to fall
Expecting profound advice
Like open secrets overheard
Revelations that feel like secrets
Through the cracks in the wall
Information seeping through unnoticed gaps
With calculated candor YOU play the part
Acting as a trustworthy confidant deliberately
Of a trusted confidant
Playing the role of a reliable listener
Moving closer for a better view
Moving closer for a better understanding
Looking for more than eyes can see
Seeking deeper insights than what's evident
On the tattered pages
Referencing personal experiences in a diary
Of an open diary
Openness about personal thoughts and feelings
If YOU want to know
Challenging the listener to introspect
Just what I see
Encouraging self-reflection for understanding
Look at yourself
Suggesting self-examination instead of inquiries
And don't ask me
Refusing to provide direct answers
And if YOU want to know
Encouraging distance to seek personal direction
Where we're going
Requesting not to follow one's path
Keep your distance
And don't follow me
Comparison to an old, exhausted friendship
Like an old friend with nothing left to say
Realization of personal divergence
You'll find I'm not who YOU thought I'd be
Not fitting the expected persona
As YOU contemplate the silence
Reflecting on silence for answers
Waiting for pearls of wisdom to fall
Awaiting insights from introspection
From the still uncertain heart
Seeking understanding from within
That beats behind the wall
Hidden emotions or thoughts
If you want to know
Reiterating the need for self-examination
Just what I see
Stressing personal reflection
Look at yourself
Declining to give direct answers
And don't ask me
Emphasizing individual self-discovery
And if YOU want to know
Asking for space to explore personal paths
Where we're going
Urging not to imitate or trail
Keep your distance
And don't follow me
Repetition of distancing oneself
If you want to know
Insistence on self-examination
Just what I see
Stressing the importance of personal perception
Look at yourself
Declining to provide straightforward answers
And don't ask me
Encouraging self-discovery
And if YOU want to know
Requesting personal navigation of the future
Where we're going
Seeking personal paths independently
Keep your distance
Avoiding following another's footsteps
And don't follow me
If you want to know
Refusal to provide direct insights
Just what I see
Encouragement for personal introspection
Look at yourself
Emphasizing individual self-discovery
And don't follow me
Discouraging emulation of personal choices
