Crazy
Unraveling the Tapestry of Chaos: Katie Herzig's Reflection on a Twisted World
Lyrics
What have they done to the
Questioning the impact on the natural world - birds and bees symbolize nature's purity.
Birds and the bees?
Metaphorical reference to the disruption of innocence and imagination.
Cradle was dropped, the nest make believe
Imaginary settings shattered, questioning the authenticity of the environment.
And they're selling their souls for the
People sacrificing integrity for the sake of a questionable purpose.
Purpose of losing it all
The cost of pursuing a goal at the expense of losing everything.
What have they done to the
Highlighting flaws and imperfections in societal structures.
Cracks in the walls?
Reference to hidden problems in society.
The world has been painted to cover it all
World appearances concealing underlying issues.
And everyone's afraid to admit
Fear preventing acknowledgment of aging.
That they're getting old
Admitting the discomfort of aging.
Oh my Lord, I'm told
Expressing a sense of shock or realization.
What have they done to the revolution?
Questioning the impact on revolutionary ideals.
They call it a war and claimed it was useless
Doubting the effectiveness of conflicts, especially over time.
The voice of the ages will never
The enduring impact of historical voices.
Be heard quite the same
Recognizing the changing resonance of age-old messages.
What have the done to the innocent mind?
Impact on the innocence of the mind.
They spoiled and twisted the truth into lies
Distortion of truth into falsehoods.
And all of the peace lovers are
Peace advocates forced into conflict reluctantly.
Having to draw up their swords
Symbolic reference to the struggle for peace.
Oh my Lord, I'm torn
Expressing internal conflict or turmoil.
If I'm going crazy
Introducing the idea of going crazy.
Then crazy is just that I'm born
Defining the speaker's version of craziness as a natural state of being.
What have they done to Jesus' life?
Questioning the portrayal of Jesus' life.
They're making it cruel, say it's a lie
Accusation of cruelty and falsehood in the representation of Jesus.
They still ask for His peace
People still seeking peace in Jesus despite the distortions.
Cause they feel inside
Internal conflict or turmoil related to seeking peace.
What have they done with the 2000 years?
Reflecting on the passage of time and its impact on beliefs.
Made history into a faithful fear
Perpetuation of fear despite the surface appearing calm.
The cracks don't expire just 'cause
Recognition that underlying issues persist even if not immediately visible.
The surface is dry oh my Lord, I'm tired
Expressing fatigue or weariness from ongoing challenges.
If I'm going crazy
Reiteration of the idea of going crazy.
Then crazy is just my desire
Defining the desire for craziness as a personal choice or inclination.
If I'm going crazy
Reiteration of the idea of going crazy.
Then crazy is just what I've seen
Defining what the speaker has witnessed as a source of craziness.
If I'm going crazy
Reiteration of the idea of going crazy.
Then crazy is just in between
Defining the state of being crazy as existing in the uncertainty or ambiguity.
