Fencewalker
Navigating Shadows: Unveiling the Inner Struggle in 'Fencewalker'
Lyrics
Choose a side
Undecided, make a choice
Stop riding the line
Stop being indecisive
Blank inside
Emotionally empty
You scan the room before the light is on
Observing the surroundings before others are aware
Looking for scraps before they even hit the floor
Seeking opportunities before they become available
Play it cool so you can stay
Acting casually to maintain a position
Now the reflection in the mirror is fake
Presenting a false image in the mirror
Avoid commitments because they always sour
Avoiding commitments due to fear of negativity
The truth a hoax. The time has passed
Belief that truth is deceptive, time has passed
Fencewalker
Identifying as a fence-sitter
Choose a side
Encouragement to take a clear stance
Stop riding the line
Advising against indecision
Blank inside
Inner emptiness
Afraid to be the losing team
Fear of being on the losing side
Choose a side
Reiteration of choosing a side
Stop riding the line
Emphasizing the need to decide
Blank inside
Internal void
Truly impressive the rate that you change
Highlighting rapid and constant change
Always reinventing as a means to stay safe
Continuous self-reinvention for safety
Play it cool, don’t let it out
Advising to maintain composure and secrecy
Fencewalker
Reiteration of identifying as a fence-sitter
Repress the feeling to ever be free
Suppressing the desire for freedom
You scan the room again to see if you’ve been spotted
Checking for possible exposure
The truth’s a hoax. The time has passed.
Belief that truth is deceptive, time has passed
Fencewalker
Reiteration of identifying as a fence-sitter
Choose a side
Encouragement to make a choice
Blank inside
Emphasizing internal emptiness
Choose a side
Reiteration of choosing a side
Blank inside
Emphasizing internal void
Fencewalker
Final identification as a fence-sitter
