Lyrics
Questions in disguise
Uncertain inquiries hidden behind a facade
Your eyes ask all your words can't say
Your gaze communicates what your spoken words cannot express
Your mouth won't let escape
Your lips prevent the release of certain thoughts or emotions
Your hands reach out to find
Your actions seek something
You're out of time, you're out of line
You've run out of time or breached boundaries
Too young to die
Too inexperienced to face mortality
With all the questions in disguise
Repeated notion of concealed queries
Secrets in the lies
Hidden truths nested within falsehoods
I'll try to make it my own way
Striving to find a unique path
To blindly duel with fate
To confront destiny without clear awareness
Find meaning in the signs
To discover significance in symbols or occurrences
I'm out of time, no peace of mind
Running out of time without inner tranquility
An endless high
A continuous state of intense euphoria
Seals all the secrets in the lies
Locking away truths within falsehoods
I told you you could see
Assuring someone of their ability to perceive
You knew that you were free
Acknowledgment of one's freedom
We proved your morals empty
Proving the lack of ethical principles
And showed you there's no way to be
Revealing the absence of an ideal way of existence
Way to be, way to, way to be
Reiteration of the absence of a clear path or manner of existence
We on that 34th & 7th, commercial beings heaven
Reference to a specific location, possibly symbolizing a materialistic world
A million lost souls trying to find themselves in excess
A multitude lost in indulgence seeking self-identity
Head up in the billboards
Attention captured by advertisements
Captured by the message
Being influenced by the messages conveyed
Pushing you to be you in every product they're selling
Encouragement to not succumb to commercial influences
Breathe deep, friend, there's more to life than the gimmicks
A call to look beyond superficialities in life
Don't sell yourself to corporate dreams that use you for their image
Advising against sacrificing oneself for corporate ideals
The only one who's stopping you is you
Realization that self-limitation is self-imposed
The only one who's moving you is you
Recognition that personal actions drive oneself
The only one who's there for you is you
Emphasis on self-reliance and self-support
The only one to make it true is you
Assertion that self-determination is crucial for actualization
Questions in our minds
Hidden uncertainties within our thoughts
Our lives wash over like the sea
Life's passage is overwhelming like the sea
The days show no relief
Days pass without respite
What moments we control
Our influence on specific instances in time
We search our souls to find our roles
Seeking our purposes and identities
Too old to go
Too mature to undertake certain actions
Through all the years with no control
Through the years, lacking authority over one's life
