Snake Oil
Healing Shadows: Unraveling Nightshade's Snake Oil Wisdom
Lyrics
Time will heal only sterile wounds
Time alone won't heal deep emotional wounds.
To fix your soul go howl at the moon
To heal spiritually, seek solace in unconventional ways, like connecting with nature.
Go to the witch doctor see what he says
Consult unconventional sources or practices, like a witch doctor, seeking unconventional solutions.
Play for the lot and regret when you're dead
Take risks, but be cautious of consequences and potential regrets in the future.
Oooh
(Refrain)
So go to your island and hide all alone
Seek isolation, but it may not resolve deeper issues.
Try to call that wasteland a home
Try to find comfort in an unsuitable or desolate environment.
Light a fire and call it a start
Start afresh, but be mindful of superficial changes.
Then you can mend all of your broken parts
Attempting to fix oneself after damage.
Oooh
(Refrain)
But it's time for you to realise
Realize the absence of support or companionship.
There is no one by your side
Confront the consequences of one's decisions.
Turn to face the choices you've made
Reflect on past choices.
Go back to the path where you strayed
Return to the right path, away from the deviation.
Where you strayed
(Refrain)
Well you're just another face in the crowd
Feeling insignificant among many others.
So don't you dare go talking so loud
Don't boast or draw attention unnecessarily.
Swallow your pills and strap on a smile
Mask pain with medication or artificial happiness.
Close your eyes and sleep for a while
Escape reality temporarily through sleep.
Oooh
(Refrain)
Well if you want the oil you better charm the snakes
If you seek a solution, you must first manipulate the situation.
Don't think the seas will boil for your sakes
Don't expect extraordinary outcomes without making an effort.
Search for a cure where there's none to be found
Seeking solutions where none may exist.
Go to your corner and don't make a sound
Withdraw and remain silent in adversity.
Oooh
(Refrain)
But it's time for you to realise
Recognize the absence of support or companionship.
There is no one by your side
Confront the consequences of one's decisions.
Turn to face the choices you've made
Reflect on past choices.
Go back to the path where you strayed
Return to the right path, away from the deviation.
Where you strayed
(Refrain)
Go ooh
