Faces
Embracing Authenticity Amid Life's Turmoil
Lyrics
Smooth waters, as far as the eye can see
Expressing a calm and peaceful environment, extending as far as the eye can see.
And these small pebbles getting stuck in my toes can be
Small challenges or discomforts, like pebbles, are present but manageable.
A little reminder of all the ripples we create
Reflection on the impact of actions, acknowledging the ripples created in life.
I know there's space somewhere, even though we're standing cheek to cheek
A sense of personal space, even in close proximity; a desire to share but awareness of differences.
And I'd take you with me but I know that you can't stand the rain
A reluctance to involve someone in difficulties or challenges they may not handle well.
All this thunder could never survive the noise we make
The strength of the relationship can withstand external challenges but may struggle with internal conflicts.
But there ain't nothing I can grab onto
A feeling of lack of stability or something to hold onto in the relationship.
That you don't seem to need to take
Observing a partner's self-sufficiency, possibly feeling unnecessary in their life.
And we roll and roll and roll
The continuous, repetitive nature of the relationship without significant change.
Until we're brave enough to break
Continuing in the relationship until a breaking point is reached, requiring courage to confront.
And time goes on and on
The passage of time, an unstoppable force in life.
Not really something we can shake
Acknowledgment that some aspects of life are unchangeable or unavoidable.
But if you can find someplace inside of you that makes you feel safe
Encouragement to find internal strength and security within oneself.
Then I promise, you won't have to wear the faces that you make
A promise that authentic self-expression eliminates the need for artificial personas or masks.
Slowly sinking even though the sand is out of sight
Feeling a gradual decline despite the absence of visible problems.
And always thinking that I can't be wrong when there is no right
A belief in one's correctness, even in the absence of a clear right or wrong.
If I can be something, I can be the song before the storm
Aspiring to be a source of comfort or positivity before challenging times.
Cause there ain't nothing I can grab onto
Sense of lacking a stable foundation or purpose in the relationship.
That fits the mold of what I'm for
An inability to conform to expectations or predefined roles.
And we roll and roll and roll
Continued repetition in the relationship, persisting until a point of rupture.
Until we're brave enough to break
Reiteration of the need for courage to confront and break the repetitive cycle.
And time goes on and on
Time's relentless progression, unaffected by attempts to resist change.
Not really something we can shake
Acknowledgment that certain aspects of life are immutable and enduring.
But if you can find someplace inside of you that makes you feel safe
Encouragement to discover an internal sanctuary for emotional security.
Somewhere beyond the borderline to call your home to stake your place
Encouraging the search for a place beyond conventional boundaries to establish one's identity.
Then I promise, you won't have to wear the faces that you make
Reiterating the promise that authentic self-discovery eliminates the need for facade or pretense.
