Lyrics
Stranger, it seems that you have wandered
Feeling like a stranger, it appears that you've strayed far from your familiar surroundings.
A long way from home
You are a long distance away from your place of origin or comfort.
Away from all the things you know.
Apart from everything you are accustomed to.
Still I wonder how long you will run for
Curious about the duration for which you will continue running and avoiding confronting yourself.
And chase yourself.
Pursuing a self-destructive path, stealing moments that will have consequences.
Stealing all that time that you will pay for.
Engaging in activities that will have a cost in the future.
Only you and only you
Emphasizing that the responsibility lies solely with the individual to address their issues.
Can save you from all these things.
Reiterating that only the person themselves can rescue from challenges and struggles.
Time, it cuts you like a knife
Time has a sharp and hurtful impact, akin to a cutting knife.
And it bleeds you dry,
It drains you completely, leaving you without any resources.
Leaving you all empty inside.
Resulting in a feeling of emptiness within.
And the mirror
Referencing a mirror as a metaphor for self-reflection and accountability.
Well it makes you pay for
The mirror demands payment for your wrongdoings.
All of your crimes and
Accountability for all your committed offenses.
All those silly times you have lied through
Recalling the times when lies were spoken.
Only you and only you
Reiterating the exclusive responsibility of the individual to bring about change.
Could ever change the way you cover up you
Only the person themselves can alter the way they hide their true selves.
I will watch you drown, I will let you sink,
Expressing a passive stance, watching someone struggle and potentially fail.
Send you out to sea, send you without a line.
Abandoning the person, allowing them to face challenges without support.
I can't help you here, I can't guide you in
Unable to provide assistance or guidance.
Only the waves that come, could ever help you now
The solution lies in external forces, only the natural course of events can aid now.
I can't help you now, I won't help you now
Declining to offer help in the current situation.
I can't help you now, I will let you drown
Choosing to let the individual face the consequences without intervention.
Until you see
Continuing to refrain from assistance until the person gains awareness.
