Painter, Painter
Unveiling the Soul: A Painter's Quest Beyond Sight
Lyrics
Painter, painter, painter you got it all wrong
The painter is being criticized for misunderstanding something.
You strived to capture the body and neglected the soul
The painter focused on depicting the physical form but ignored the essence or deeper aspects.
And who is gonna paint the thoughts that sever my sleep
Asking who will depict the troubling thoughts disturbing sleep.
When I am alone with the bottle and all of my sins
Reflecting on solitude, indulgence in alcohol, and personal wrongdoings.
You searched for a truth but you favoured your eyes, painter
The painter sought truth but was biased towards visual aspects.
Painter, paint with your mind
Urging the painter to create with intellectual depth.
Painter, painter, painter you are not Oscar Wilde
Comparing the painter unfavorably to Oscar Wilde, who understood deeper truths.
He knew the body is a vessel with Krakens inside
Referencing Wilde's insight about humans containing complex, unknown depths.
And who will paint the flower when it's still in a vase
Asking who will capture the beauty of a flower while it's confined.
The truth is bitter and sour but it's good for the heart
Recognizing that truth can be harsh but beneficial.
You search for the truth but you favour your eyes
Reiterating the painter's tendency to prioritize sight over deeper truths.
Painter, painter, paint with your mind
Encouraging the painter to create using intellect and depth.
Painter, painter, painter, you were born with a curse
Highlighting a perceived inherent burden or drawback for the painter.
The will to be wanted, adored and caressed
Desire for affection and recognition contrasted with an example of an artist.
But remember Rodin the genius of clay
Referencing Rodin, who depicted the thoughts of marginalized individuals.
He captured the thoughts of beggars and slaves
Emphasizing Rodin's ability to capture the inner thoughts of society's overlooked.
You search for a truth but you search with your eyes, painter
Reiterating the artist's emphasis on visual perception rather than deeper understanding.
Painter please paint with your mind, please paint with your mind
Urging the painter again to create with depth and intellect.
