A Look Inside
Unveiling the Shadows: A Journey of Self-Discovery in 'A Look Inside'
Lyrics
I was hurt, I didn't know it
I experienced emotional pain, but I was unaware of it.
When I came to know it, I couldn't show it
Upon realizing the pain, I struggled to express it outwardly.
I left an invisible trail of destruction
I caused harm unknowingly, leaving a trail of unseen damage.
Private scars and bruises of corruption
I bear internal wounds and marks of moral decay.
It never dawned on me
I never realized the impact of my actions.
What I had been learning
I was learning, but oblivious to the consequences.
How to abuse to keep
I learned to exploit others to maintain my world.
My own world turning
My selfish actions kept my life in motion.
I thought we were both just having a good time
I believed we were both enjoying ourselves.
But I cut and I left at the drop of a dime
I abruptly ended relationships without hesitation.
Hungry for new, hungry for more
I craved novelty and sought more experiences.
A thirst for adventure, to seek and explore
A desire for adventure drove me to explore.
Few names, mostly numbers, adding them up
I interacted with people, mostly as numbers, to fulfill my desires.
Compensating for fear, it's never enough
I compensated for fear but found it insufficient.
I looked great on the outside
Externally, I appeared impressive and successful.
I felt like it too
Despite appearances, I felt good only superficially.
Or at least so I thought
Selfishness and being used characterized my existence.
Being selfish and used
I believed we were both having a good time, but I acted selfishly.
I thought we were both just having a good time
I repeated the pattern of cutting ties abruptly.
But I cut and I left at the drop of a dime
Similar to line 18, emphasizing the repeated behavior.
A look within now, the past is thin
I introspect now, realizing the thinness of my past actions.
A shallow shell of what I could have been
I am a mere shell of what I could have become.
Years that were wasted, seeking glory
Years spent seeking glory turned out to be wasted.
In truth only brought flames to the pages of my story
My pursuit of truth brought only destruction to my story.
Whatever I touched
Anything I touched, devoid of truth, became tainted.
If not grounded in truth
Without a foundation in truth, my actions spread negativity.
Could catch the virus
My actions could infect others with lies and ruin.
Of the lies and the ruin
Similar to line 26, emphasizing the destructive potential.
I thought we were both just having a good time
Believing we were both enjoying, I repeated my abrupt exits.
But I cut and I left at the drop of a dime
Reiterating the pattern of cutting ties abruptly.
