The Optimist
Echoes of Optimism and Familial Strife: Feast IV Eyes Unveils a Powerful Narrative
Lyrics
I was an optimist
I had a positive outlook on life
Until I saw my father fight someone
My perspective changed after witnessing my father in a physical altercation
Such a loaded gun
The situation was intense and potentially dangerous
And they say
Referring to people's opinions or beliefs
I get my temper from you
People claim that I inherit my anger from you
Let's leave genetics to the pros
Suggesting that genetic traits should be left to experts
I say we're fucked up on our own
Expressing dysfunction and problems within the family
And for heaven's sake
An exclamation expressing surprise or frustration
How could you two be so cruel
Questioning the cruelty of the parents' actions
I'll make sure I turn off the lights after you
Symbolically turning off the lights after their departure
And I hope you found
Wishing that the father has found inner peace
The peace that you are looking for
Uncertain about the father's fate
I don't know
Expressing uncertainty or lack of knowledge
Well that I don't know
Reiterating uncertainty
My silver tongue
Referring to the ability to speak persuasively
Land me on the silver screen
Being featured in movies or television
Honestly, does that mean anything
Questioning the significance of fame
What is your cost for fame
Asking about the personal sacrifice for achieving fame
Do you believe
Inquiring about genuine belief versus a facade
Or are you putting on a show
Questioning authenticity and sincerity
Give my faith up to the sky
Surrendering faith or trust to the unknown
Who are you to question my demise
Challenging others who question one's downfall
And for heaven's sake
Repeating the question about parental cruelty
How could you two be so cruel
Reiterating the sense of parental cruelty
I'll turn off the lights after you
Symbolically turning off the lights after someone's departure
And I wonder who will play me
Contemplating who will represent or portray oneself
Such Fickle Things
Describing things that are unpredictable or changeable
I don't know
Reiterating uncertainty about a particular matter
Well I don't know
Repeating uncertainty
