Takes a Lot Less
Discovering Peace in Lesser Ways
Lyrics
Last call to my senses
Feeling disconnected from reality, unable to perceive clearly.
I can’t hear a word above this noise
Difficulty in understanding amidst chaos or loud distractions.
I build up the fences and wait for time to put all things on its place
Creating barriers and waiting for time to resolve situations.
What makes you think it works this way
Questioning someone's belief in a certain outcome or method.
I didn’t see it coming back again
Unexpectedly experiencing a situation again.
I’ll go take a deep breath
Preparing to calm down and reflect.
I’ll get hold of everything that hurts
Confronting and dealing with emotional pain.
I’ll call for a recess and live among those believing in themselves
Stepping back to be with confident individuals.
Well, try to tell it to someone else
Dismissing someone's attempt to explain.
I didn’t see it coming back again
Encountering an unexpected repetition of events.
I got lost into the features, it’s off-season hunting day
Getting caught up in details during an inappropriate time.
Someone send me a reminder of the reasons why I left
Yearning for reminders of why departure occurred.
Someone help me find a reason
Seeking a motive or purpose.
Please give me back a reason to be scared
Desiring a reason to feel fear again.
It always takes a lot less to find peace on a prayer
Expressing how little effort is needed for solace through prayer.
It always takes a lot less to get home to cry again
Indicating how easily one returns to vulnerability or sadness.
It always takes a lot less for the dumb to understand
Commenting on the simplicity in understanding for some.
It always takes a lot less time to stop watching from behind
Realizing it takes less time to act than to observe passively.
and do the right thing for a change
A call for change in behavior towards doing the right thing.
Too many sleepless nights ahead
Anticipating many nights of insomnia as a consequence.
I guess this is the price to pay
Accepting the consequences of a chosen path.
Why am I always dreaming backwards?
Questioning the nature of dreams being regressive.
I’m more skilled in second chances
Skilled at granting second opportunities.
My head’s not often where my heart stands
Recognizing a discrepancy between thoughts and emotions.
And I waste time thinking there’s no time to waste
Wasting time by believing time is scarce.
I didn’t see it coming back again
Experiencing a repeated unexpected event.
Someone send me a reminder of the reasons why I’ll stay
Seeking reminders for reasons to stay in a situation.
The blow waits calm and vicious
Describing the impending blow as calm yet severe.
Please give me back a reason
Desiring a reason to feel fear again.
It always takes a lot less to find peace on a prayer
Reiterating the ease of finding peace through prayer.
It always takes a lot less to get home and cry again
Highlighting how easily one returns home to cry.
It always takes a lot less for the dumb to understand
Emphasizing the simplicity in understanding for some.
It always takes a lot less time to put a blindfold on your eyes
Expressing how quickly one can ignore reality.
everytime you turn the page
Continuously avoiding facing situations head-on.
as if watching from behind is ever gonna make a change
Criticizing passive observation's inability to effect change.
Takes a lot less, yes it does...
Reiterating that it takes significantly less.
