Grizzly
Soulful Disguise: Unveiling the Meaning in Horace Greene's 'Grizzly'
Lyrics
You've got to hold on to what is happening
You need to grasp and understand the current situation or reality.
You just get messed up and drown your mis-happenings
When facing difficulties, you might engage in destructive behaviors to cope with your misfortunes.
Before you feed it you've got to get wise
Prior to accepting or embracing a situation, it's essential to become discerning or knowledgeable.
The man in your attic's a soulful disguise
The person in your life who appears harmless may have a deep, soulful identity.
It seems your savior is selling light
Someone you depend on as a source of salvation is offering enlightenment or guidance.
It seems your savior is selling light
Reiteration of the notion that your perceived savior is providing enlightenment.
Don't get your hopes up when you're scraping by
Caution against optimism when struggling financially or emotionally.
Pick up your brain and you'll realize
Regain control of your thoughts, and you will understand the situation better.
That the sun shines different through a stained glass window
The sunlight appears different when filtered through a stained glass window, implying distorted perceptions.
And I'm too afraid of how far you'll go
The fear of the extent to which someone may go in a situation.
It seems your savior is selling light
Reiteration that the perceived savior is offering guidance or enlightenment.
It seems your savior is selling light
Continued emphasis on the idea that your savior is providing light or wisdom.
But darling what gives you the right
A questioning of the legitimacy or entitlement of the perceived savior.
It seems your savior is selling light
Reiteration of the notion that your perceived savior is offering enlightenment.
My dear, you're daylight shines
An expression of endearment, suggesting that the person is a source of light in your life.
On that western sky
The daylight of this person brightens the western sky, metaphorically symbolizing positivity.
How did we miss your goodbye?
A reflection on the unnoticed departure of the person who brought light into your life.
My dear
A term of affection addressing the person who has departed.
It seems your savior is selling light
Reiteration that the perceived savior is offering guidance or enlightenment.
It seems your savior is selling light
Continued emphasis on the idea that your savior is providing light or wisdom.
But darling what gives you the right
A questioning of the legitimacy or entitlement of the perceived savior.
It seems your savior is selling light
Reiteration of the notion that your perceived savior is offering enlightenment.
