Atonement: Unveiling the Hidden Layers of Soul and Hypocrisy
Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

You are such a hypocrite, so I'm leavin for a bit

You are hypocritical, so I'm leaving temporarily

Because I am blessed with soul, something you would never know

I possess a soul, a depth you cannot understand

When you're this close, it gets hot before it's cold

In proximity, emotions intensify and fluctuate

And I will never know you're gone

I won't realize you're absent

Whatever's possible becomes impossible

What seems possible turns impossible


Woah

Expression of emotion, possibly frustration or realization

This is atonement

Acknowledgment of wrongdoing and seeking redemption

You're the painting

Referring to someone as a work of art

You're the pain that I feel

The person is the source of emotional pain

Follow the trail with some bad politics

Following a path marked by dishonest politics

If they never know I'm gone, they will never notice it

If my absence goes unnoticed, there's no consequence


You looked so tame, I saw you in the rear view mirror

Describing someone's appearance as controlled or subdued

You looked so challenged when I caught up, and this is what I do

Despite challenges, I pursue what I believe is right

Sometimes you still think I am crazy when I'm sane

Others perceive me as crazy despite being rational


And you will never know I'm gone

You won't realize I've left

Don't ever get too close, cause I'm not good up close

Keep a distance, as I'm not comfortable up close


Woah

Repetition of emotional expression

This is atonement

Reiterating the theme of seeking redemption

You're the painting

Comparing someone to a painting causing emotional pain

You're the pain that I feel

Emphasizing the emotional pain caused by the person

Follow the trail with some bad politics

Continuing on a path marked by dishonest politics

If they never know I'm gone, they will never notice it

If my absence goes unnoticed, there's no consequence (repeated)


No, don't get upset, cause you never played fair

Expressing dissatisfaction with unfair behavior

Please, just remember me when I am not around

A plea to be remembered in absence

And I can't forget her lips, so red

Memories of someone's captivating lips

Go sit back down, cause I can't go back until we just finish

Unable to move forward until a situation is resolved


And they will never know were gone

Others won't realize we've departed

The best has yet to come

Better times are yet to come

The best has yet to come

Repeated anticipation of a better future


Woah

Repetition of emotional expression

This is atonement

Reiterating the theme of seeking redemption

You're the painting

Comparing someone to a painting causing emotional pain

You're the pain that I feel

Emphasizing the emotional pain caused by the person

Follow the trail with some bad politics

Continuing on a path marked by dishonest politics

If they never know I'm gone, they will never notice it

If my absence goes unnoticed, there's no consequence (repeated)


No, don't get upset, cause you never played fair

Expressing dissatisfaction with unfair behavior (repeated)

Please, just remember me when I am not around for the taking

A plea to be remembered in absence (repeated)

For the taking

Emphasizing being taken for granted or advantage
