Lyrics
Dull the edge so that it's softer
Dulling the edge to make it less sharp and provocative.
And it won't offend their ears
Avoiding content that might upset or disturb the audience.
Water down to make it simple
Reducing complexity to make it easily marketable.
You could sell it anywhere
Emphasizing the commercial viability of the diluted content.
But now it seems you're disenchanted
Feeling disillusioned and unsatisfied despite previous efforts.
And you're wanting more
Desiring more from life or artistic expression.
You're afraid to reason
Fearful of logical thinking or analysis.
Your love is saving no one
Realizing that love alone may not bring salvation or change.
The market is open
Highlighting the openness of the market to simplistic content.
If it's easy we will buy it all
Suggesting a willingness to consume anything that is easily accessible.
And I watched you let yourself out
Observing someone exposing their true self.
Like you had something to prove
Acting as if there is a need to prove oneself.
But you're more than who you're sleeping with
Asserting that personal value goes beyond romantic relationships.
And I know it bothers you
Acknowledging internal conflict or dissatisfaction.
And now it seems you're disenchanted
Experiencing disenchantment again, but maintaining a facade.
But you've got to save face
Emphasizing the importance of preserving outward appearances.
Praising all your feelings they are only fiction
Criticizing the insincerity of expressing emotions for praise.
If you search for comfort you won't find it
Warning against seeking solace in artificial or false feelings.
In the end we don't get to answer to ourselves
Reminding that ultimate accountability is beyond personal judgment.
