Lyrics
It's knowing what's important
Expressing the importance of understanding what truly matters.
Hidden lockets of your hair
Referring to cherished keepsakes, possibly symbolizing a deep connection.
Felt excactly every moment
Sensing and experiencing every moment intensely.
Even moments we never share
Acknowledging shared and unshared moments.
And all this land has been discovered
Alluding to the known and explored aspects of life.
Every frame infront of me
Visualizing life as a series of frames, each telling a familiar story.
Is describing in a story
Emphasizing the storytelling nature of one's experiences.
A familiar history
Recognizing the recurrence of history and its familiarity.
Through a city that's all closing
Feeling a sense of confinement in a closing city.
Atleast it's closing in on me
Reflecting on the encroaching nature of urban life.
But you're too old to remember
Highlighting a potential generation gap and its impact on memory.
Or I'm too young to agree
Exploring differences in perception based on age.
Secret teachings take me somewhere strange
Seeking guidance from hidden or esoteric knowledge.
Shadows gained and bottles drain
Referencing challenges and the gradual consumption of resources.
Let your tears fall in the shape
Symbolizing emotional expression in a distinctive form.
Of everyone of the American states
Metaphorically connecting tears to the diverse landscape of the United States.
If I could see your face
Expressing a desire to see the true, unaltered face of someone.
Before it's born and raised
Anticipating the revelation of a person's authentic self.
Before it was born and raised
Reflecting on the past, before experiences shaped and defined an individual.
In memories wake
Nostalgically considering the impact of memories.
Reassure me into changing names
Seeking reassurance through a change in identity or perspective.
Vision strained a seconds change
Describing a moment of strained perception and its fleeting nature.
To be secure of everything
Expressing a desire for complete security and certainty.
If I could make another world
Pondering the possibility of creating a different world.
We're like flies landing on flies
Comparing individuals to flies, possibly emphasizing vulnerability.
We suffer what we never try
Acknowledging the avoidance of challenges and the resulting suffering.
So I slick my hair and I stamp my feet
Symbolic actions of personal grooming and assertion.
Until the darkness
Persisting until darkness, possibly representing challenges or uncertainties.
Until the darkness is complete
Embracing or succumbing to the completeness of darkness.
If I could see your face
Reiterating the desire to see someone's true face.
Before it's born and raised
Repeating the anticipation of revelation before life's influences.
Before it was born and raised
Reiterating reflections on the past and its impact.
In memories wake
Closing with a contemplation of memories and their lasting effect.
