Lyrics
Search your mind for secret ills
Encouraging self-reflection to identify hidden problems or issues in one's thoughts.
Find the cracks that require fills
Discovering weaknesses or gaps that need to be addressed or filled in one's life.
Roll it away and give it a name
Suggesting the process of acknowledging and defining issues rather than ignoring them.
We take what's wild and we make it tame
Transforming untamed or chaotic aspects of life into something more controlled and orderly.
Shifting figures in the light
Observing and adapting to changes in circumstances or perspectives.
Find the shapes that serve you right
Finding solutions or perspectives that are beneficial or suitable for oneself.
Just like a slave
Comparing the feeling of being controlled or constrained to that of a slave.
Back in the cave
A metaphorical reference to returning to a confined or restricted state, like being back in a cave.
There's always safe ways over roads unpaved
Highlighting the availability of safe alternatives for navigating challenging paths.
If Eyes can see clearly
Prompting a question about the clarity of perception and understanding.
Why did I wait so long?
Expressing regret about delaying a realization or understanding.
I'm gonna grip the ropes dearly
Expressing determination to hold onto opportunities and elevate oneself.
And lift us to where we belong
Affirming the commitment to raise oneself and others to a better place.
If Eyes can see clearly
Reiterating the question about the clarity of perception, emphasizing its importance.
Why do they close so long?
Pondering the reasons behind periods of unclear vision or understanding.
I tricked myself nearly
Admitting to deceiving oneself, especially in believing that hard work was complete.
Thinking all the hard work was done
Reflecting on the misconception that all challenges have been overcome.
Roll it away and give it a name
Repeating the idea of acknowledging and defining issues to address them.
Roll the stone smoothly
Metaphorically suggesting the smooth resolution or removal of obstacles.
Something to keep your mind on
Encouraging focused and mindful attention to something positive or constructive.
Hand by hand slowly
Emphasizing the gradual and careful process of improvement.
Lift it to where it belongs
Completing the metaphor of lifting obstacles to their rightful or improved place.
