Docks
Journey of Self-Discovery: Reflections by the Docks
Lyrics
Can you feed me some light?
Expression of a desire for enlightenment or guidance.
From up here I can’t decide
Uncertainty about the direction or path in life.
Where we’re going
Contemplation on the destination or future.
Where we’re going to
Reflecting on the uncertainty of the future.
I could spend some time
Considering spending time avoiding distressing information.
Running from the news
Escaping from negative news or events.
Down by the docks I drowned all my money
Describing a place (docks) where the narrator faced financial difficulties.
And I feel no pain ‘cause I feel no pride
Emphasizing a lack of emotional response due to a loss of pride.
But when that mirror dries
Reflection on self-image and identity after an event.
I get fucked up on “who am I”
Intoxication or confusion about one's identity.
Who am I?
A direct question about self-identity.
As time arranged for all to fade away
Acknowledgment of the passage of time and its impact on everything.
Can you see through the night?
Asking if clarity is possible in the darkness or uncertainty.
To be someone is to be someone, so it is to believe
Philosophical reflection on the nature of being and belief.
Have you packaged all of your pretend?
Questioning the authenticity of one's actions or persona.
Let it sink to the bottom my friend
Suggesting letting go of pretenses and allowing them to fade away.
Floating like a bottle to the shore
Using the metaphor of a bottle floating to convey a detached state of being.
Of my soul
Reference to the core essence or depth of the narrator's being.
Just willingly witnessing, waiting and listening
Observing life without actively participating, waiting and listening.
To the mantra of memory and the collection of past
Mentioning the influence of memory and past experiences.
Is truth’s center surfaced by our inner pessimist?
Questioning if the truth is revealed through a negative perspective.
Or can we re-see the glass?
Pondering the possibility of changing one's perspective.
As time arranged for all to fade to black
Reiteration of the impact of time on fading away.
Vacant silences, un-divided and cold, clear waters will take your fears from you
Describing a serene and transformative environment that can alleviate fears.
Vacant silences, un-divided and cold, clear waters will take your fears from you…
Reiteration of the calming effect of clear waters on fears.
