The Realist
Embracing Truth: Mountain Kid's Anthem of Growth and Redemption
Lyrics
On my own I thought I could save
Expressing a belief in the ability to rescue or fix something independently.
The rest the of the world
Referring to the broader world or society.
When I found my place
Finding a personal sense of belonging or purpose.
The weight only unfurled
The burden or challenge becomes more apparent.
Then I heard to not be afraid
Receiving advice to face fears and not succumb to them.
From not my lips
The advice is not coming from the speaker but from an unspecified source.
Melting all of the shame
Overcoming feelings of guilt and repentance.
And chains of regret
Breaking free from the chains of past mistakes.
All others are crawling into a black hole
Others facing a negative situation with no apparent way out.
The buzzards campaign coming to a hault
The scavengers' negative actions or influences coming to an end.
Just as it goes you will reap what you sow
A general statement about cause and effect, implying consequences for actions.
Gold scattered seed and good makes it grow grow grow the world
Positive actions and virtues contribute to the growth and improvement of the world.
Not an achievement less you should boast
Highlighting that genuine achievements are not meant for boasting.
The Realist's precise in all that's refined
The Realist is someone who values precision and refinement.
Good scattered seed and mud makes it grow
Mud or difficulties also contribute to growth.
And on our own we tried to change
Attempting to bring about change collectively but facing obstacles.
With no avail
Efforts to bring change are unsuccessful.
The stumbling stone remains
An unresolved challenge or problem persists.
Unsettling men
Creating discomfort or unrest among people.
All others are crawling into a black hole
Others also facing a negative situation with no apparent way out.
The buzzards campaign coming to a hault
The negative influences or actions of certain individuals are ceasing.
Just as it goes you will reap what you sow
A repetition of the cause-and-effect principle.
Gold scattered seed and good makes it
Positive actions contribute to the growth of the world.
Grow grow grow the world
Emphasizing the continuous nature of growth.
Not an achievement less you should boast
Reiterating the idea that genuine achievements do not warrant boasting.
The Realist's precise in all that's refined
The Realist values precision in refined matters.
Watching the ground coming down low low low
Observing a decline or downfall, possibly with a sense of inevitability.
