Lyrics
It is possible to have two places
Expressing the possibility of existing in two places simultaneously.
Being not so far apart
Highlighting that these places are not very distant.
Yet impossible to reach

My eyes can see the world around
Observing the world through the eyes, acknowledging brightness and innocence.
In all the brightness, innocence

Me and you are the same boy, it's you and me...
Reiterating a connection between two individuals.
But they walk in the deep shadows
Referring to people walking in deep shadows, possibly symbolic of personal struggles.
All of that is self-inflicted
Suggesting that personal challenges are self-imposed.
Cannot pour that on the shoulders of others like me
Rejecting the idea of burdening others with personal issues.
How can that be...
Expressing confusion or disbelief about this situation.
That grey and revolving shadow of lies
Describing a pervasive shadow of lies that is difficult to penetrate.
Too thick for the light to pass through at all
Highlighting the thickness of the shadow, making it impenetrable by light.
You need some treatment for your eyesight
Suggesting a need for corrective vision to see through the lies.
To cover the lack of your empathy that's gone away
Connecting the lack of empathy to the fading away of understanding.
That leaking bucket of soil

Spills on your weary old shape-
Depicting weariness and aging through spilled soil on a tired form.
And your ignorance is getting older too
Connecting ignorance to the aging process.

even you cannot escape

I would cry for you if I only

knew that you lived
Conveying a sense of empathy and a desire to understand the other's existence.
I only see
Noticing only the individual's own existence during the daylight.
The daylight me
Revealing a self-centered perspective limited to one's own experience.
I must have forgotten something
Acknowledging a forgotten or unknown aspect of oneself.
I never knew I even had
Realizing the existence of something previously unrecognized.
I am on my path

I only see the brightest day
