Still Water
Unveiling Life's Veil: Still Waters and Troubled Minds
Lyrics
You don't know the half
You are not fully aware of the situation.
The veil fades to black
The truth becomes obscured or hidden.
You don't know the hangman
You are unaware of the impending danger or consequences.
Already tipped his hat
The executioner has already acknowledged your fate.
Coins on his eyes
A symbolic gesture of paying respect to the deceased.
The blind lead the blind
People without insight are leading others who are similarly blind.
Paid your pound of flesh
You've given a significant sacrifice or endured hardship.
Before your time
You've faced challenges or experienced difficulties prematurely.
Let them alone and they fall down
If left alone, they will face failure or collapse.
Under the bridge the still water did rise
A location where calmness was disrupted by a rising disturbance.
Up from the dead to be your troubled mind
Returning from the dead to trouble your thoughts or conscience.
Under the bridge the still water did lie
Calmness is restored, but with lingering consequences.
I knew it wouldn't last
The situation was not expected to endure.
The die had been cast
A decision or fate was irreversible.
Drink from this well and you will drown
Engaging with something harmful may lead to overwhelming consequences.
Under the bridge the still water did rise
A recurrence of disturbance under the bridge.
Up from the dead to be your troubled mind
Returning from the dead to trouble your thoughts once again.
Under the bridge the still water did lie
Calmness returns, but the disturbance persists in memory.
Up from the dead to be your troubled mind
A repetition of the return from the dead affecting the troubled mind.
