The Real
Unveiling Reality: Reflections on Perception
Lyrics
I don't know the real from what I thought I saw
Uncertainty about distinguishing reality from perceived experiences.
I can't remember where I went
Memory lapse regarding a specific place or event.
Where I was
Unclear recollection of one's whereabouts.
I'm gonna move toward a point in time
Expressing a desire to progress towards a specific moment in time.
Where where you are is a state of mind
Emphasizing that the state of being with someone is subjective and mental.
And anytime I can read your thoughts
Claiming the ability to perceive the thoughts of another person.
Some of them yours and some I thought up
Acknowledging a mix of one's own thoughts and those attributed to the other person.
There's no good reason for heartbreak
Stating that heartbreak lacks a valid justification.
Nothing's repeating every Monday
Rejecting the notion of repetitive and mundane experiences.
It's no good saying you'll always be mine
Questioning the reliability of promises of eternal commitment.
These jokes life's playing they make me so tired
Expressing weariness from the challenges and ironic twists of life.
It's already to much to always see you off
Suggesting that constantly saying goodbye is emotionally overwhelming.
The sense that hours go back is enough
Reflecting on the perception that time can reverse or regress.
I like to fade when I write this line
Preferring to fade away or retreat while expressing thoughts in writing.
There's every reason to paint a decline
Finding justification in depicting a decline or deterioration.
And every mile i walk is five
Highlighting the difficulty of the journey, where each step feels longer.
I'll get where I'm going in the next life
Optimism about reaching a destination in the afterlife.
And all the while there's a false face
Referring to a deceptive or insincere facade.
This every killing is left untraced
Addressing untraceable consequences of destructive actions.
This kind of falling saved my son
Implying that a personal downfall had a positive impact on the speaker's child.
This constant longing for what's gone
Expressing a continual yearning for something that is no longer present.
