Belly of the Beast
Unveiling Truth: Journey into the Depths of Existence
Lyrics
They went digging underground in a foreign land,
Exploration in a foreign land, possibly metaphorical, digging into the unknown.
Dusting off the cache with a careful hand
Carefully revealing and examining a hidden stash or knowledge.
And finally making sense of things that we
Deciphering previously unclear aspects, seeking understanding.
Never knew to understand
Discovering things previously unknown or misunderstood.
Buried in the ages, lost in time
References to ancient times and lost knowledge.
A history out of sight and out of mind
History obscured and neglected, out of sight and mind.
As legend grew like gossip the truth would be
As rumors and myths spread, the real truth remains elusive.
What no one dared to find
The truth remains undiscovered due to fear or reluctance.
And the truth is often hidden underneath
Truth is often concealed, drawing a parallel to a prophet hidden in a dangerous place.
Like a prophet in the belly of the beast
A metaphorical reference to finding truth in challenging or perilous situations.
And like anything that’s worth it
Persistence is required to discover valuable truths.
Takes some time and
Signifying the effort and patience needed for meaningful discoveries.
A little bravery
Courage is necessary to uncover hidden truths.
I’m sitting on a couch in therapy
Shifting to a personal narrative, sitting in therapy, discussing family issues.
I’m still talkin’ about my fucked up family
Continuation of personal struggles and family problems.
And terrified to take a look inside
Fear of introspection, avoiding looking inside oneself.
Afraid what I might see
Anxiety about potential revelations and self-discovery.
But I’m so tired of pretending I’m Ok
Expressing exhaustion with pretending to be okay.
Building playgrounds over graveyards for display
Metaphorically constructing distractions instead of facing deeper issues.
Is there freedom when we take off the disguise
Questioning if true freedom comes from removing masks and confronting reality.
And just look it in the face?
Encouraging direct confrontation with difficult truths.
Yeah, the truth is often hidden underneath
Reiteration of the theme that truth is often hidden, akin to a prophet in danger.
Like a prophet in the belly of the beast
Underlining the importance of facing challenges to discover valuable truths.
And like anything that’s worth it
Emphasizing the time and bravery required for meaningful revelations.
Takes some time and
Repetition of the idea that valuable discoveries demand effort and courage.
A little bravery
Final emphasis on the need for bravery in the pursuit of truth.
