Reflections on Self-Deception
Lyrics
What lies we tell ourselves
Self-deception and false narratives we create for ourselves.
Behind the blue motel
Deception takes place at a blue motel, possibly representing a facade or a hidden aspect.
Out on the frontage road
Deception continues on the frontage road, emphasizing a misleading path.
Down by the interstate
Deceptive actions near the interstate, suggesting a larger, public context.
We open up our sores
Revealing vulnerabilities or emotional wounds.
We cauterize ourselves
Attempting to heal or numb the pain, often through drastic means.
Behind the blue motel
Continued deception, possibly behind closed doors or hidden places.
Down by the interstate
Deceptive actions persisting near the interstate, indicating a public front.
Satisfied, full of pride
Feeling content and proud, possibly based on false beliefs.
We become what we defy
Transformation into what is resisted or opposed.
Satisfied, comatose
Contentment leading to a state of indifference or unawareness.
We become what we fear most
Becoming the very thing that is feared the most.
What lies we tell ourselves
Reiteration of self-deception and false narratives.
We open up our sores
Repeating the cycle of revealing and trying to heal emotional wounds.
We cauterize ourselves
Continued attempts to numb or cope with pain.
Behind the blue motel
Deception persists behind closed doors or hidden locations.
Like the insect in the hive
Comparing oneself to an insect in a hive, possibly alluding to conformity or a lack of individuality.
Like the richest junkie still alive
Likening a wealthy addict to an insect, highlighting the paradox of wealth and addiction.
Satisfied, full of pride
Contentment and pride in denying or rejecting certain aspects of oneself.
We become what we deny
Becoming the very thing that is denied or rejected.
Satisfied cast aside
Contentment leads to being discarded or ignored.
The solar lodge has its stride
The solar lodge, possibly symbolizing a higher or enlightened state, reaches its peak.
(Softcore kickstand honey at the source)
Enigmatic lines suggesting unexpected and unsettling events, involving a kickstand, hidden figures, and victimization of the innocent.
(You could hardly see him he came out of nowhere)
-(Always a friend of the victim at the slaughter of the)
-(Innocents)
