Unveiling Hidden Truths: FEELED DAYS' Elephant Metaphor
Lyrics
I've got the b-b-b-b best intentions
I have the best intentions
In the w-w-w-w
Stuttered or hesitant expression, possibly reflecting uncertainty or nervousness
W-w-w-w
-W-w-w-w
-W-w-w-w
-Here's to looking at me and you
Celebrating the connection between the speaker and the listener
The elephants in the room
Addressing unspoken or ignored issues (elephants in the room)
Pack my trunk and prepare to leave
Preparing to leave, making way for a change
My absence for a tune
Turning absence into a musical expression
Tight strings above our heads
Tension or pressure that holds them in a place
That keep us here till noon
Metaphor for enduring difficulties until midday
Break my back and break your heart
Sacrificing for minimal rewards
For peanuts we refuse
Refusing to endure hardships for small gains
You never know, you never know
Repetition emphasizing the unpredictable nature of life
You never know, you never know
-You never know, you never know
-You never know, you never know
-You never know, you never know, you never
-You never know, you never know
-You never know, you never know
-You never know, you never know
-You never know, you never know
-You never know, you never know, you never
-Open your eyes and close the blinds
Suggesting awareness while maintaining privacy
There's hoops to jump through
Obstacles or challenges to overcome
Take it from a seasoned rookie
Claiming experience in deceiving or misleading
I know how to fake the truth
Artful manipulation of truth
Tie my ears in a bow
Symbolic actions to hear distorted messages and deceive
And split my tongue in two
-So I hear twisted words and spit
-A coin flip trick for you
-It's hard to hide when you're thirty feet small
Difficulty in hiding when feeling small
Though I try just the same
Attempting to conceal vulnerability
Cuz you and me together feels a
Struggling in relationships and seeking comfort
Victim of escape
-Run from every back door that I
-Closed in front of my face
-Just to find your open arms
-Scattered all over the place
-I've got the best intentions
Positive intentions despite challenging circumstances
In the worst of ways
-I've got it all
-Contention for a later day
-Won't you
Desire for connection and struggle to maintain distance
Fall in sessions
-While I try to stay
-And I fall when I try to keep away
-You never know, you never know
Repetition reinforcing uncertainty and unpredictability
You never know, you never know
-You never know, you never know
-You never know, you never know
-You never know, you never know, you never
-You never know, you never know
-You never know, you never know
-You never know, you never know
-You never know, you never know
-You never know, you never know, you never
-Hold on for a moment or the rest of my life
Weighing the importance of a moment against a lifetime
You never know, you never know
Continuation of uncertainty and lack of understanding
You never know, you never know, you never
-You know my discretion is oversight
-You never know, you never know
-You never know, you never know, you never
-I've got the best intentions
Reiteration of good intentions despite challenges
In the worst of ways (Hold on for a moment or the rest of my life)
-I've got it all
-Contention for a later day (You never know, you never know
-You never know, you never know, you never)
Asking for involvement despite potential consequences
Won't you fall in sessions
-While I try to stay (You know my discretion is oversight)
-And I fall when I try to keep away (You never know, you never know
-You never know, you never know, you never)
Repetition and uncertainty
