The Chameleon
Embracing the Enigmatic Persona: The Chameleon's Tale
Lyrics
Like stars up in a clouded sky
Describing oneself as distant and numerous, like stars in a clouded sky.
I stand obscured from view
Being hidden or not easily seen by others.
With shining eyes that did not lie
Having truthful, bright eyes while engaging in an action of turning pages for someone.
I turn the pages for you
Assuming a role of assistance or guidance by flipping through pages for someone else.
The silent shadow in the night
Existing as a silent and elusive presence during the night.
I smile before I steal
Smiling before engaging in secretive actions or taking something.
Behind locked doors, in emptiness
Acting in seclusion, within locked doors and emptiness.
I am the things you do
Identifying oneself as the embodiment of the actions performed by the listener.
Now, I am your only friend
Declaring oneself as the only friend of the listener at present.
You must love the chameleon
Encouraging the listener to love the chameleon, possibly embracing change or adaptability.
Not child, not man, no living thing
Describing the listener as neither a child nor a man, devoid of rest or relaxation.
You have no time for rest
Emphasizing the listener's lack of time for leisure or repose.
No thoughts, no words to comfort you
Highlighting the absence of thoughts, words, smiles, or comforting gestures.
No smile or soft caress
Identifying oneself as a solid and unyielding presence, a rock, and the source of fear for the listener.
I am the rock, the wishing well
Comparing oneself to a lighted candle burning brightly.
The secret to your fear
Posing as the secret that triggers fear within the listener.
The lighted candle burning bright
Referring to oneself as the illumination from distant years, possibly memories or experiences.
The call from distant years
(Blank line, no explicit meaning provided)
Now, I am your only friend
(Repetition of line 11, reinforcing the call for the listener to love the chameleon)
You must love the chameleon
(Repetition of line 10)
Now, I am your only friend
(Repetition of line 11)
You must love the chameleon
(Repetition of line 10)
I said, now, I am your only friend
(Repetition of line 11)
Oh, you must love the chameleon
(Repetition of line 10)
Oh, no
Expressing a sense of finality or conclusion to the statement.
