Embracing Shadows: Foxquel Pope's Take on the Dance of Uncertainty
Lyrics
And you keep your candle lit
The person keeps their hope or positivity alive, but they still struggle to perceive or understand things clearly.
But you still can't see shit
Despite maintaining optimism, there's an inability to comprehend the situation effectively.
Like Cohen said, they never came

We want the darkness, no flame
Desire for obscurity or darkness rather than illumination, symbolizing a preference for ambiguity or mystery.
So tell me what you see
Questioning what someone perceives or understands about a situation or circumstance.
If only we could see clearly
Expressing a wish for clarity and better understanding of the situation.
If only I could think clearly
Desiring mental clarity and coherence in thoughts.
But I don't mind, it's just whatever
Indifference or a relaxed attitude towards the situation, considering it inconsequential.
It's just fine, I'll be alright
Optimism despite the circumstances, believing things will turn out okay.
Away you go, away you go

I don't know, I think so

So take your place on the dance floor

Away you go a little more

I'll take my place against the wall

Do the other one now

Into the other one now

Take it apart before you

Put it in your mind

I love the way you talk sometimes
Appreciation for someone's manner of speaking on occasion, indicating admiration.
And when you see a runner
Questioning whether someone wonders about the identity of others when observing runners.
Do you wonder who they are

Or who you are
Reflecting on the introspection regarding self-identity or self-awareness.
Sometimes
