PANTOMIME
Navigating Life's Pantomime: A Poetic Journey of Resilience and Revelation
Lyrics
I was high
I experienced a state of euphoria or intoxication.
Then I fell
I came down from that elevated state.
Out of the sky
I metaphorically fell from the sky.
Melted wings and pantomimes
I faced consequences, like Icarus with melted wings, and engaged in pretend actions (pantomimes).
Seemed to hide
The truth seemed to be concealed.
The whitest lies
Deceptive or insincere statements were hidden.
And even real ones
Real truths were also obscured.
Any door can show you
Any opportunity can either lead you out or welcome you in.
Out or show you in
Choices in life can have contrasting outcomes.
Every stone s been overturned
Exploration has uncovered every possible aspect.
As I take taxis in blue sunrise
Traveling in taxis during the early morning.
All I know and I ve learned
Despite experiences, the speaker acknowledges a lack of profound knowledge.
Is I know nothing
The speaker claims ignorance despite their experiences.
It s all right
An affirmation that things are acceptable or tolerable.
They turn it on
Others manipulate the situation.
Say what you want to hear
They speak words that cater to your desires.
And once they ve got you
Once they have what they want, their affection disappears.
Their affections dissapear
(Empty line, no specific meaning provided in the lyrics.)
My only friend s
The speaker's only reliable companions are coffee and cigarettes.
Coffee and cigarettes
These companions provide consistent support.
They won t let me down
They don't let the speaker down, unlike the world.
The way the world does
The world is unpredictable and disappointing.
Any door can show you
Any opportunity can either lead you out or welcome you in (repeated).
Out or show you in
Choices in life can have contrasting outcomes (repeated).
Every stone s been overturned
Exploration has uncovered every possible aspect (repeated).
As I take taxis in blue sunrise
Traveling in taxis during the early morning (repeated).
All I know and I ve learned
Despite experiences, the speaker acknowledges a lack of profound knowledge (repeated).
Is I know nothing
The speaker claims ignorance despite their experiences (repeated).
It s all right
An affirmation that things are acceptable or tolerable (repeated).
