Unveiling Truth: A Poetic Journey through Imperfections and Fading Memories
Lyrics
No one could capture this moment on film
No one can capture the authenticity of this moment in a photograph because film tends to smooth over minor imperfections.
'Cause film smooths the smallest cracks
Film has a tendency to hide small flaws, and the truth is often more nuanced than what is portrayed on film.
And truth has been told in papers and frames
The truth has been communicated through various mediums, including papers and frames.
In the pencils of the broken and confused
Broken and confused individuals express their truths through the medium of pencils.
And no truth has been told in atoms and cells
Truth has not been conveyed through the microscopic world of atoms and cells or the royal bloodlines.
In the bloodstream of kings
The bloodstream of kings is not a source of genuine truth, and those destined to fall are within it.
Destined to fall
Destiny awaits, and some are destined to fall.
The dust on a photo covers certain imperfections
The dust on a photo conceals specific imperfections, akin to certain flaws in the mind.
Certain crystal potholes in your mind
Crystal potholes in the mind are covered by the dust of memories.
Meaning is only what you give
The meaning is subjective and depends on individual interpretation.
Everything that was sacred lives in your mind
Sacred things find their existence in one's mind, and everything sacred lives on through fading memories.
Nestled softly with your fading memories
Fading memories cradle sacred things, softly nestled in the mind.
A poster on the wall will make a face much larger than it is
A poster can magnify a face, distorting reality and creating unreachable standards.
It'll bloat them so you'll never reach
The distortion may prevent one from reaching the true essence hidden behind external glamour.
The empty glamour in their eyes
Empty glamour is reflected in their eyes, portraying a superficial facade.
And the glitter in their graves
Even in their graves, the glitter of false appearances persists.
Let the breath fly away
Let go of the breath, allowing it to fly away, symbolizing detachment.
Someone will remember one day
Someone will remember eventually, acknowledging the significance of what is forgotten.
Just another silly tune lost to the world
A recognition that certain tunes are lost and forgotten in the vast world.
Just another tall tale written to confuse
Tall tales are written to confuse, adding layers of complexity to stories.
And I'll be breaking bread with the bakers soon enough
The speaker anticipates joining common people, symbolized by bakers, in a shared experience.
So give a toast to our betters above
A toast is proposed to those considered superior or more fortunate.
We, the workers and idealists
The collective identity of workers and idealists, characterized by humility and forgiveness.
Small and forgiving
Despite being small and forgiving, the workers are built to serve.
Built to serve you
A reminder of the purpose to serve others and fulfill a higher calling.
Meaning is only what you give
Similar to line 12, emphasizing the subjectivity of meaning based on individual interpretation.
Everything that was sacred lives in your mind
Reiteration that sacred things reside in the mind and persist in fading memories.
Nestled softly with your fading memories
Fading memories gently cradle sacred elements within the mind.
A dull man, a bricklayer
A common, ordinary man, perhaps a symbol of simplicity and humility.
Helping the prince
Assisting a prince, suggesting a collaborative effort towards a greater purpose.
We mean the best
The speaker and others strive to do their best and mean well.
We mean the best
A repetition emphasizing the collective intention to do the best for others.
We mean the best for you
Collective commitment to ensuring the best outcomes for others.
We mean the best for you
A reaffirmation of the collective desire to act in the best interest of others.
