Steps to Failure
Journey Through Inner Tides
Lyrics
Only with time this role heals
Healing from a role takes time.
But I’m looking alone for life in this sea
The search for meaning or purpose in life is a solitary journey.
Diving in waves that emerge from your own sight and cry
Engaging with emotions and experiences that originate from one's own perspective.
Life into my skin
Injecting vitality and significance into one's existence.
Strolling among stones that define this line of peace
Walking amidst challenges that define a state of tranquility.
Indistinct from the lid
Blurring the distinction between the known and the unknown.
Despite floating into this sea
Despite navigating difficulties, there is awareness and control to move forward.
I’m conscious enough to swim and reach it
Conscious effort to overcome obstacles and attain a goal.
Told my pals I’m keeping the distance
Choosing to maintain distance from others.
But I don’t want you far away
Despite distancing, there's a desire for closeness.
Rumbling in my mind your last smile
Replaying memories of a significant smile in the mind.
I think It’s time to run away
Contemplating the need to escape or change the current situation.
Weird time to erase what I wrote
Unusual timing to erase a written expression, aiming for poetic redemption.
But with paper this crime will poetically fall
Using paper to symbolically rectify a perceived wrongdoing.
Either went home with a misleading lie
Choosing between deception and inner sincerity.
Or a bow inside me
Reflecting on internal conflicts or hidden emotions.
Try to get away with fear and betray what you feel
Attempting to escape fear and betray authentic emotions.
knowing before was a hiss
Acknowledging past mistakes or insincere actions.
how much a dance will define what
Contemplating the impact of a dance on previous perceptions.
we used to think?
Questioning the stability of previous beliefs.
Told my pals I’m keeping the distance
Reiterating the desire for distance while craving proximity.
But I don’t want you far away
Despite maintaining distance, there's a reluctance for complete separation.
Rumbling in my mind your last smile
Replaying memories of a significant smile in the mind (repeated).
I think It’s time to run away
Contemplating the need to escape or change the current situation (repeated).
Sure I’m hesitating a lot
Expressing uncertainty and hesitation.
Sun makes sand shine along
The sun enhances the brilliance of a landscape filled with personal guilt.
This firehills made of my same guilts
Acknowledging the burden of guilt in the form of metaphorical "firehills."
Maybe it’s time for me
Considering the need for personal change or transformation.
To make out I’m not in
Projecting an image of not being present or involved.
Out this place there’s more life
Emphasizing the potential for a richer life beyond the current circumstances.
But it’s dead without lies´
Highlighting the emptiness of life without honesty or authenticity.
I’m the mirror here that reflects your desire
Acknowledging one's role as a reflection of others' desires.
But I’ve sinned enough to become opaque
Having committed enough wrongs to obscure one's true nature.
