Old Magick
Unveiling Hidden Desires
Lyrics
Never quiet now and never quite the same
Constantly active and undergoing change, never remaining silent or consistent.
Can't turn it down or find someone to blame
Unable to reduce the intensity or responsibility, and unable to assign blame to someone.
Let the effects collect until someone complains
Allowing the consequences to accumulate until someone voices dissatisfaction.
Then find a way
Finding a solution or resolution when issues arise.
Get fine with this
Accept and be content with the current situation.
Or you're chasing the cravings of craven agents that insist
Alternatively, pursuing the desires of cowardly individuals who insist on their agenda, referring to it as ancient or traditional magic.
Calling it old magic
Referring to the pursued agenda as "old magic."
Stopped making sense
It no longer makes sense, possibly due to changing circumstances or perceptions.
Sworn to enforcing etiquette that persists
Committed to upholding social manners and customs that endure.
Conjuring old magic
Engaging in the practice of traditional magic.
Give a little then get whatever keeps me fed
Giving a little and receiving whatever is necessary to sustain oneself.
Worked up the nerve
Summoning the courage to face a challenging situation, heavy with responsibility.
Heavy as lead
Feeling burdened, akin to the weight of lead.
Cause either you've been missed or you've been misled
Being either missed or deceived, with the possibility of obsession.
You were so obsessed
Previously being intensely preoccupied or infatuated.
Get fine with this
Accept and be content with the current situation (repeated from line 6).
Or you're chasing the cravings of craven agents that insist
Alternatively, pursuing the desires of cowardly individuals who insist on their agenda, referring to it as ancient or traditional magic (repeated from line 7).
Calling it old magic
Referring to the pursued agenda as "old magic" (repeated from line 8).
Stopped making sense
It no longer makes sense, possibly due to changing circumstances or perceptions (repeated from line 9).
Sworn to enforcing etiquette that persists
Committed to upholding social manners and customs that endure (repeated from line 10).
Conjuring old magic
Engaging in the practice of traditional magic (repeated from line 11).
I didn't need it to be good
The quality did not need to be excellent; it served a purpose.
It was a means to an end
It served as a means to an end, providing a place to organize personal belongings.
It was a place to keep my clutter
The clutter accumulated, and soon the individual interacted with everyone.
But soon I'm meeting everybody
For each person you are acquainted with, there is someone who knows you better.
And for everyone you know there's someone who knows you better
Paranoia becomes difficult to overcome, and imagination runs wild.
Guess I couldn't shake the paranoia
The foundation or core aspects are deteriorating or in a poor state.
Imagination's running wild
Feeling envious and admitting it.
My foundation's in the gutter
Expressing jealousy toward someone who had the freedom to move around.
I was kind of jealous
Still working to overcome challenges and obstacles.
I'll admit it
Continuing the process of overcoming difficulties and moving forward.
At least you got to run around
Struggling to escape or overcome personal challenges.
I'm still digging out my tunnel
Engaged in a continuous effort to overcome personal challenges (repeated from line 36).
