Peril
Unveiling Inner Turmoil: Kevin Wulf's 'Peril' Meaning
Lyrics
Hate yourself until you see
Hate yourself until you gain self-awareness and insight
You caused yourself this agony
Recognize that you are responsible for your own suffering
Your single mind
Your focus is narrow and centered on yourself
Precious seconds, wasting time
Wasting valuable time on trivial matters
Lost love, you start to fiend
Longing for a lost love, becoming addicted
Your innocence concealed by greed
Your purity is hidden by greed and selfish desires
All praise to your majesty
Sarcastic praise for your self-proclaimed majesty
Lay down on the Earth
Submit to the Earth, the only entity recognizing your value
The only one who knows your worth
Recognize your self-worth through connection with nature
Lay down on the Earth
Repetition emphasizes the importance of humility
Let them claw at the birch and deal with the takers
Let others face difficulties while you remain grounded
Rip yourself until you bleed
Inflict pain upon yourself until you reveal your inner self
I am the only one who sees
Claiming sole understanding of someone's suffering
Your tender scars
Observing the emotional wounds others carry
Long healed burns of stale cigars
Old wounds that have healed, but the scars persist
I dreamt of leaning trees
Dreaming of stability represented by leaning trees
And tunnels made of maples leaves
Imagery of nature symbolizing a peaceful existence
The peeled old bark
Symbolism of resilience represented by peeled old bark
Laid afoot, wait for a spark
Waiting patiently for a positive change
I know myself (whatever I need)
Self-reflection, understanding one's own needs
Convinced I know the only working route (I need more than I know)
Confidence in knowing the right path, seeking more knowledge
My pagan health (this stagnant air)
Emphasizing the importance of mental and spiritual well-being
Keeps me still inside the walls I've built (hold our coughs for so long)
Feeling trapped within self-imposed boundaries
These sturdy bones (the bricks of these walls)
Strong foundations that resist breaking until a significant downfall
Hard to break before the fall I felt (gently laid down together)
Resilience before a significant failure or setback
Hold out my son (stand in front of everyone)
A paternal instinct to protect others in the face of challenges
