Lyrics
You can say what you like
You are free to express your opinions
About all of the good you could do
Talking about the positive actions you could take
But your hands are opposed
Your actions contradict your words
and idle in prayerful fugue
Your hands are inactive in a contemplative state of prayer
So come on, come on,
Encouraging someone to pay attention
I dare you to notice
Challenging the person to be aware
Come on, come on,
Repeated challenge to notice
I dare you to bleed
Daring someone to experience pain or vulnerability
So whitewash your walls
Suggesting covering up flaws or imperfections
and powder the marks on your face
Making yourself appear flawless, hiding true feelings
The trappings of riches,
Mentions of material wealth and superficial pleasures
the sugar that masks the distaste
The sweetness that conceals unpleasant truths
So come on, come on,
Reiteration of the challenge to be observant
I dare you to notice
Encouraging awareness once again
Come on, come on,
Continued challenge to notice or understand
I dare you to bleed
Reiterating the dare to experience vulnerability
Take me through to morning
Expressing a desire to be guided towards a positive future
Gold to breakfast blue
Metaphorical transition from valuable experiences to mundane reality
and I
Emphasizing personal commitment to follow
will follow you
Commitment to follow the person through experiences
