The Fox
Embracing Shadows: A Tale of Self-Reflection in 'The Fox' by North Bloom
Lyrics
I thought I was always awake
I believed I was always conscious/alert
I thought I wouldn’t make a mistake but
I believed I wouldn't make a mistake but
They say I lost hold of the glue
Others claim I lost control or stability
They say that my view is skewed
Others claim my perspective is distorted
But It's hard to get around
It's challenging to navigate
When you can’t see the ground
Especially when the ground is not visible
Or the path that leads me to
Or the path leading to
A bond built on something other than bluffing
A connection based on sincerity rather than deceit
Talking to myself
Engaging in internal dialogue
Chronically dire
Persistently grim or disastrous
Reliable liar
Consistently untruthful
Yeah your who’s to blame
Referring to someone responsible for blame
Lost sight of myself
Lost my sense of identity
Broken all we had
Destroyed everything we had
Please don’t me be
Request not to let me be
Don't let me become the fox
Asking not to let me turn into the fox
What if I could leave this room
Contemplating the possibility of leaving a confined space
What If I wasn’t out of tune
Considering if I am in harmony
Could I have your attention just for a second
Requesting attention for a moment
I’m trying to tell you that all of this blame and this shame
Trying to communicate that blame and shame are mine
It is all mine to take I have so much to say
Expressing the desire to share thoughts
So I’m trying my best just to do what I can
Doing my best without addressing the main issue
Without addressing the topic at hand
Avoiding discussing the topic at hand
But if I could give you a glimpse of my mind
If I could offer insight into my mind
Every word of this song is
Every word in this song is
Talking to myself
Engaging in internal dialogue
Chronically dire
Persistently grim or disastrous
Reliable liar
Consistently untruthful
Yeah your who’s to blame
Referring to someone responsible for blame
Lost sight of myself
Lost my sense of identity
Broken all we had
Destroyed everything we had
Please don’t me be
Request not to let me be
Don't let me become the fox
Asking not to let me turn into the fox
A room containing all my drear
A room filled with my sorrows
These thoughts birth songs that make it clear
These thoughts give rise to songs that convey my feelings
I’m stuck in here facing my fears alone
Being alone, confronting my fears
I don’t wanna be the fox
Expressing a reluctance to become the fox
Talking to my self
Engaging in internal dialogue
Broken all we had
Destroyed everything we had
Please don't let me be
Request not to let me be
Don't let me become the fox
Asking not to let me turn into the fox
