Lyrics
If you look you'll find the traces in every page of the book
If you observe closely, you'll discover evidence in every aspect of life, akin to reading a book.
Something hidden in the places they tell you never to look
There are hidden aspects in places advised to be avoided or ignored.
Gonna teach you a lesson, gonna put out the fire
The speaker intends to impart a lesson and extinguish a metaphorical fire or issue.
Gonna need to keep your voice down while they preach to the choir
It is necessary to lower your voice while they deliver their message to the like-minded individuals.
So step outside the light that blinds you to maybe
Step away from the blinding light that hinders your perception, perhaps revealing truths.
Everybody in your life will tell you you're crazy
Despite external opinions, everyone around you may label you as insane.
But what do they know
Questioning the credibility of others' knowledge and understanding.
They never stop trying to sell you things you won't ever need
People persistently attempt to persuade you to acquire unnecessary items.
What they call fallin' apart looks pretty good to me
Challenging the conventional notion of falling apart, suggesting that it might be appealing.
And when you come to your senses, when the game's wearing thin
Upon realizing the situation, when the novelty wears off, acknowledging the game being played.
Once they've shown you the fences, what's left keeping you in
After being exposed to restrictions, what remains to confine or limit you?
So step outside the light that blinds you to maybe
Reiterating the call to step outside the blinding light, implying the importance of gaining clarity.
Everybody in your life will tell you you're crazy
Despite external judgments, people in your life may persist in considering you as crazy.
But what do they know
Continuing to question the depth of others' understanding.
So turn against the tide that drowns you in safety
Encouraging a deviation from the safety or conformity imposed by societal expectations.
Everybody asking why will tell you you're crazy
Inquiries about unconventional choices may lead others to brand you as crazy.
But what do they know
Reiterating the skepticism towards others' comprehension.
What do they know
Persistent questioning of others' knowledge and judgment.
What do they know
(Repetition of the question from line 21)
