Lyrics

What if this is real?

Contemplating the authenticity of a situation or experience.

In the morning you reveal

In the morning, facing the revelation of hidden truths or emotions.

All that you've concealed

Acknowledging the existence of concealed feelings or information.

Or we could make a deal

Suggesting a possibility of negotiation or compromise.

I'll give everything

Willingness to sacrifice everything for the sake of feeling something.

For anything to feel

Expressing a desire for any emotional experience.

And what if we were there?

Exploring the hypothetical scenario of being present in a particular situation.

What if we could care?

Pondering the capacity to care and empathize in that hypothetical situation.

What if there was sorrow?

Considering the potential existence of sorrow in that imagined scenario.

And all that's left for you

Alluding to the idea that all that remains is to hold onto one's perceived truths.

Is holding on

Emphasizing the importance of clinging to one's beliefs.

To what you think is true

Implying the subjective nature of what one believes to be true.

So go ahead and speak

Encouraging open communication despite potential discomfort.

And cover up their grief

Advising to conceal others' pain or grief, perhaps to maintain a facade.

Like moonlight on the water

Metaphorically describing the act of hiding sorrow as moonlight on water.

Void of any grace

Describing the concealed sorrow as lacking in grace or beauty.

You'll find a way

Suggesting determination to find a justification for one's existence.

To justify your place

Expressing a willingness to justify one's place despite challenges.

And smother us in pride

Describing a tendency to drown others in pride while concealing true feelings.

Pretend to take our side

Indicating a pretense of taking the side of others while hiding true intentions.

You couldn't if you tried

Highlighting the difficulty in genuinely aligning with others' perspectives.

And all that's left for you

Reiterating the notion of holding onto personal beliefs and hopes.

Is hoping that

Expressing a desire or expectation of being accepted or allowed through metaphorical gates.

The gates will let you through

Concluding with the hope that barriers will be overcome for acceptance or progress.
