The Observer
Discovering Clarity: The Profound Journey Within 'The Observer'
Lyrics
You hold the whole world in your hand
You have immense power or control.
Respond to all of their demands
You respond to the expectations or requests of others.
I thought I'd seen it all
You thought you had experienced everything.
I'm seeing clearly now
You now have a clearer understanding of things.
You talk but I don't hear you speak
Although you talk, your words are not registering with me.
Your words mean more to you than me
Your words hold more significance for yourself than for me.
I thought I'd seen it all
You thought your experiences were complete.
I'm seeing clearly now
You now see things with greater clarity.
Stare into my eye
A command to look deeply into the speaker's eyes.
Stare into my soul
A command to look deeply into the speaker's soul.
I believe you're lost
The speaker believes you are directionless or confused.
Can't find your way back home
You are unable to find your way back to where you belong.
Stare away your time
A directive to waste or pass time by staring.
Stare away your life
A directive to waste or lose your life by staring.
Is this what you want?
Questioning if the current situation is desirable for you.
Is this what you want?
Repetition of the question for emphasis.
I dream until I fall asleep
The speaker dreams until falling asleep.
And in the dark I see, I see clearly, yeah
In the darkness, the speaker gains clear insight.
Seeing clearly now
Reiteration of the enhanced clarity.
