Lie To Me
Confronting Shadows: Embracing Change and Rediscovering Self in Heiruspecs' 'Lie To Me'
Lyrics
Just once, I want to poke my negative stress in the chest
Expressing a desire to confront and overcome negative stress directly.
Swing a haymaker left and not rest 'til I beat it to death
Wishing to aggressively confront and eliminate stress until it's overcome.
Breathe in the best breath ever once I clean up the mess
Expecting a sense of relief and well-being after addressing and resolving the mess caused by stress.
Yet whenever I step, it retreats deeper into its nest
Noticing that stress tends to retreat further when attempting to confront it.
Just once, I wish to bridge the gap between me and that dude
Expressing a desire to bridge the gap between one's current self and the potential self.
The man I could've been after I realized that I had to
Reflecting on the realization that personal growth is necessary.
The type of cat to have past loves asking, "Is that you?"
Envisioning a transformed self that others may not recognize due to personal growth.
But that's cool, you still don't recognize when I pass, boo
Acknowledging that others may still not recognize the transformed self.
I wish that I could hold feelings, 'cause feelings hold me
Expressing a desire to experience and express emotions.
Together, yet broken, closely at arm's length from me
Describing a state of being both together and broken, with emotions kept at a distance.
I sometimes wonder if these epiphanies will kill me
Questioning the impact of profound realizations on one's well-being.
Creeping out of the deep, dark, corners of the real me
Describing deep and hidden aspects of the self emerging.
Lost moments of speech, snatched away by the wind
Regretting missed opportunities to express oneself, lost in the passage of time.
I guess it's time to look inside and find a line again
Recognizing the need for introspection to find inspiration.
I revive my grin as I begin to spend the five or ten minutes it takes
Finding joy in the process of self-discovery, spending time to realign and find balance.
To dive within and realign my Zen
Engaging in a reflective practice to rediscover inner peace and balance.
Ask a poet where a song comes from, he'll tell you the soul
Highlighting the connection between a song and the soul, emphasizing depth.
But the detail they fail to unveil is that the tale has been told
Noting that stories and experiences have been repeatedly told.
It's the air when it's cold, it's the parents that carried you home
Symbolizing various elements, including the harsh realities of life and nurturing relationships.
It's what's scary in those areas where you won't dare me to go
Referring to challenging and uncomfortable situations that others hesitate to mention.
In my hand I hold the soul of a poet
Symbolic possession of the essence of a poet, suggesting a creative and reflective nature.
Hoping to throw it over the moat of Moet, and boats full of heads with no necks
Expressing a desire to share creative expression despite potential criticism.
Who protest against my inappropriate openness
Facing resistance and criticism for being openly expressive.
Standing at the edge of this precipice, staring at nothingness, just
Standing on the edge of a challenging situation, facing emptiness.
Abyss
Describing a profound and seemingly endless void or emptiness.
