Threatened
Unveiling Inner Struggles: Confronting Threats and Pride
Lyrics
Do what you want to do,
Expressing the freedom to act as one wishes.
Say what you want to say to me
Inviting open communication, allowing others to express themselves.
I know what you'd like
Awareness of others' expectations or assumptions about oneself.
To think of me
Recognition of others' perceptions or judgments about oneself.
This is not real it can't be real
Doubt about the reality of a particular emotion or experience.
This thing I feel
Expressing an intense and possibly conflicting emotion.
You're threatening
Feeling threatened by external forces or influences.
You're threatening
Reiteration of the feeling of being threatened.
How can I not hate you, hate you
Expressing difficulty in avoiding feelings of hatred.
How can I not be free, be free
Questioning the possibility of achieving true freedom.
I know deep down inside
Acknowledging an inner understanding of divine revelation.
How God reveals himself
Reflection on how God manifests Himself.
I know deep down inside
Reiteration of the inner knowledge of divine revelation.
To know him I must kill pride
Recognizing the need to overcome personal pride to know God.
Why do you care so much for me,
Questioning the motive behind someone's care for oneself.
What's in this for you
Curiosity about the self-interest of others in one's well-being.
Why can't selfishness rule you
Expressing a desire for others to be self-centered like everyone else.
Like everybody else
Observation of societal norms regarding selfishness.
Let go pride, let go pride,
Encouragement to release or abandon personal pride.
Cannot deny, cannot deny
Acknowledging the undeniable nature of letting go of pride.
This thing I feel, I feel inside
Reiteration of the intense emotion felt internally.
How God reveals himself
Reflection on the divine revelation within oneself.
I know deep down inside
Reiteration of the inner knowledge of divine revelation.
To know him I must kill pride
Recognizing the ongoing need to overcome personal pride for spiritual growth.
