Book Upon My Shelf
Unveiling Life's Choices Through "Book Upon My Shelf
Lyrics
Your attitude colors the shape of the decisions you make
Your attitude influences the decisions you make.
The choice I chose was to choose what I believe is fake
The decision I made was to embrace something I consider false.
Your mind won't compromise the feelings you shake, girl
Your mind refuses to compromise on the emotions you experience.
The time that's flying won't be gathered with a rake
The fleeting time cannot be gathered or controlled like leaves with a rake.
Everybody cares that nobody cares
A sense that people care about the fact that no one cares.
The world is a wall and I'm a blank stare
The world feels like an impenetrable barrier, and I am indifferent.
I spoke to god, I was talking to myself
I communicated with a higher power, but it felt like I was talking to myself.
This seemed kinda odd or psychotic if nothing else, I said
This interaction seemed peculiar or even mentally disturbed.
I said, where you been man I've been looking for some help?
I asked, "Where have you been? I've been seeking assistance."
The devil shined his eyes behind that book upon my shelf
The devil revealed himself through the eyes in a book on my shelf.
Book upon my, book upon my, book upon my shelf
A repetition emphasizing the significance of the book on the shelf.
I've been looking back upon the things that I had done
Reflecting on past actions and decisions.
A demon held my hand and pointed towards the gun
A malevolent force guided me toward a dangerous path.
I was just a boy when I had flown into the sun
Recalling a moment of recklessness in youth, symbolized by flying into the sun.
I had to catch the sunset before the moon had all the fun
Chasing moments of joy before they are lost.
Your attitude colors the shape of the decisions you make
Reiteration of the influence of attitude on decision-making.
The choice I chose was to choose what I believe is fate
The decision I made aligns with what I believe is destined.
Your mind won't compromise the feelings you shake, girl
Your mind remains resolute in the face of emotional turbulence.
The time that's flying won't be gathered with a rake
The passing time cannot be controlled or collected, similar to the earlier metaphor of the rake.
