Unveiling Hypocrisy: Lost Dakota's Reflection on Belief and Deception
Lyrics
The sun is peeking in through stained glass
The sunlight is filtering through stained glass.
Holy feeling but I know this won't last
Despite a sacred or divine feeling, the speaker acknowledges it won't endure.
Does it bother you to think that
Asking if it disturbs you to consider that others may perceive a martyr, not an outcast.
They'll see a marytr and not an outcast
Anticipating being seen as a martyr rather than an outcast by others.
No, I dont need you to typecast
Rejecting the need for others to categorize or stereotype.
I'm sick and tired of the contrast between
Expressing frustration with the contrast between preached beliefs and unobserved actions.
What you preach and what you don't see
Highlighting the disparity between spoken beliefs and unperceived actions.
So you can walk away and let me be, tell me
Inviting someone to walk away and leave the speaker alone, questioning why.
I know what I believe
Asserting knowledge of personal beliefs.
Did you choose to be so naive
Questioning if someone chose to be deliberately ignorant or naive.
So sick of listening
Expressing weariness of listening to something.
Tell me what I did wrong to deserve this
Pleading to know what the speaker did wrong to deserve a particular situation.
You speak in tongues and yet you still cant explain it
Noting the difficulty of explaining something despite speaking in tongues.
How do you know what's right
Questioning how one can determine what is right.
When you can't sleep at night
Linking the inability to sleep at night with the uncertainty of knowing what's right.
I'll tell you stories from the afterlife
Offering to share stories from the afterlife.
I think I figured out where we stand
Suggesting understanding or clarity about the current situation.
hate to say it but I know this won't last
Acknowledging a negative realization that the current state won't endure.
Repressing years of holy mishaps
Suppressing or holding back years of sacred mistakes.
Took a hold inside my head and I'm not praying for a relapse
A struggle within the speaker's mind, not praying for a return to a negative state.
What's the message if we say that
Pondering the significance of claiming everything has meaning while not giving back.
"Everything has meaning" yet we can't afford to give back
Raising the question of lacking empathy.
Is it empathy that you lack
Addressing potential dismissal and urging understanding.
Don't roll your eyes at me and say that I don't get it
Asserting awareness of hope in the unseen.
I know there's hope in the unseen
Highlighting the irony of being blinded by something anticipated to be necessary.
You're blinded by the very thing you thought you would need
Emphasizing the essential things needed.
The things you need
Repeating the assertion of essential needs.
Tell me what I did wrong to deserve this
Reiterating the plea to know what was done wrong to deserve a certain situation.
You speak in tongues and yet you still cant explain it
Reaffirming the challenge of explaining despite speaking in tongues.
How do you know what's right?
Posing the question of determining what's right again.
When you can't sleep at night
Linking the inability to sleep at night with the uncertainty of knowing what's right, repeated.
I'll tell you stories from the afterlife
Reiterating the offer to share stories from the afterlife.
Tell me what I did wrong to deserve this
Repeating the plea to know what was done wrong to deserve a certain situation, repeated.
You preach forgiveness but it's not like you earned it
Pointing out the discrepancy between preaching forgiveness and not earning it.
How do you know what's right
Reiterating the question of determining what's right.
When you can't sleep at night
Linking the inability to sleep at night with the uncertainty of knowing what's right, repeated.
I'll tell you stories from the afterlife
Reiterating the offer to share stories from the afterlife, repeated.
