Stop Looking Start Seeing
Embrace the Truth: Break Free and Live Fearlessly with Papa Roach's 'Stop Looking Start Seeing'
Lyrics
Hit or miss, Fuck or fight,
Indicating choices in life, suggesting a decisive moment.
It's time to live your life,
Encouragement to live life to the fullest.
Go ahead, I know I'm right,
Confident assertion of being correct.
I'm gonna lay it on the line,
Expressing intent to be straightforward and honest.
Put yourself in my shoes,
Encouraging empathy by asking to consider another perspective.
Line em up, knock em down,
Suggesting facing challenges and overcoming them.
I'm not running scared tonight,
Declaring bravery and refusing to be fearful.
(Chrous:\)
Transition to the chorus.
I have climed these walls before,
Reflecting on past struggles and overcoming them.
And I'm not scared anymore,
Asserting courage and lack of fear now.
There's a time to lead,
Highlighting the importance of both leading and following.
And a time to follow,
Emphasizing the balance between leading and following.
Because I won't take this anymore (these walls)
Expressing refusal to tolerate a situation any longer.
I've found these walls before (these walls)
Recalling previous instances of facing challenges.
There's a time to lead and to follow (these walls),
Reiterating the importance of both leading and following.
I see the walls closing in,
Sensing a feeling of confinement or pressure.
I feel like I'm in danger,
Feeling threatened and in a precarious situation.
My enymy is not alone,
Acknowledging the presence of adversaries.
In a mirror there's a stranger,
Discovering an unfamiliar aspect of oneself.
As I tried to break out,
Attempting to break free from a difficult situation.
My panic led to fear,
Admitting that panic has led to fear.
Hopeless, I'm alone,
Expressing a sense of hopelessness and isolation.
I'm afraid the end is near,
Anticipating an impending conclusion or outcome.
The truth dosen't always have to hurt
Contemplating the idea that truth doesn't always cause pain.
(Chorus)
Reiteration of the chorus.
Stop Looking,
Commanding to stop merely looking and to truly perceive.
Start Seeing Now,
Emphasizing the importance of active observation.
Right Now
Immediate insistence on starting to see.
The truth dosen't always have to hurt,
Repeating the idea that truth doesn't always cause pain.
(Chorus)
Final repetition of the chorus.
