Sara And The Silent Crowd
Sara's Solitude: Unraveling the Cost of Chasing Recognition
Lyrics
What happened, Sara? You lost
Asking Sara about a loss she experienced.
Yourself in the cost
Sara lost herself at a cost.
That you paid to be someone, to no one
The cost paid to be someone, but recognized by no one.
Well, how is it now?
Questioning Sara's current state.
To feel so alone, just to be known
The loneliness of being known after hurting loved ones.
You hurt who you love to be loved
Sacrificing relationships to seek love.
And so the pattern goes, goes
Describing a recurring pattern in Sara's life.
What happened, Sara? You've changed
Highlighting Sara's transformation.
You've gone out of range
Sara is now beyond familiar territory.
You said if that were true, surely you would have noticed by now
Sara's disbelief in her own change.
But low numbers round to a dangerous amount
Small numbers round up, dangerous when unnoticed.
When your only concern is making sure you don't get counted out, out
Concern about avoiding being overlooked.
Do you stand in a room full of strangers now?
Isolation in a room full of strangers for Sara.
Amazed at how they follow your orders
Noting how others follow Sara's orders.
And when the glamor dies down, there's only you now
When the glamour fades, only Sara remains.
Only you and yourself to appease the silent crowd
Sara is left with herself to please the silent crowd.
No one can shelter you now
No one can protect or comfort Sara now.
Sara, you went after it
Sara pursued something passionately.
Said you wouldn't quit 'til the fire died out
Commitment to continue until the flame extinguishes.
And now there's not a trace left of it
Nothing remains of Sara's pursuit.
They're not looking at you like you think that they do
Misinterpretation of others' perceptions of Sara.
Really they only care about their own affairs
Others are self-absorbed, caring only about their affairs.
Let me tell you, oh
An attempt to share wisdom or insight with Sara.
Do you stand in a room full of mirrors now?
Sara confronting herself in a room full of mirrors.
Horrified at how they sharpen the image
The harsh reality of self-reflection.
And when the glamor dies down, there's only you now
After the glamour fades, only Sara remains.
Only you and yourself to appease the silent crowd
Sara must please the silent crowd within herself.
And no one can shelter you now
Again, no one can provide shelter or solace.
Well, how much is too much?
Questioning the limits of excess.
And how fast is too fast?
The speed at which Sara is changing is a concern.
Sara, it's only you who can answer a question like that
Sara must answer her own critical questions.
You remind me of myself in so many ways
Comparison of Sara's characteristics with the speaker.
In so many ways
Highlighting shared traits between Sara and the speaker.
Too nervous to move, but too stubborn to stay
Sara is hesitant to act but reluctant to remain stagnant.
