Seven
Breaking Strings: Embracing Individuality in Post Profit's 'Seven'
Lyrics
What have we conformed our lives to fit
Questioning the conformity of our lives and choices.
A certain shade of what they think is right or how to live
Criticizing societal expectations and norms.
Are we made of
Reflecting on the essence of our existence.
Movements just controlled by strings that are hanging over our heads
Exploring the idea of external influences controlling actions.
Tugging on the very thing we call decision
Highlighting the external forces affecting decision-making.
Trust ourselves, do we trust ourselves
Questioning self-trust and introspection.
Send me a sign
Seeking a sign or confirmation in the face of uncertainty.
Show me your face or speak
Desiring a tangible expression or communication from an unknown force.
I'm dying to know am I still in control
Expressing a fear of losing control over one's life.
Look in my eyes and tell me I'm not insane
Yearning for reassurance to prevent a descent into madness.
Or I'll fall into place like everyone else
Fearing conformity and losing individuality.
So many days I've questioned why do I owe you anything
Questioning indebtedness to an unseen obligation or authority.
Paying dues to something that I never see
Challenging the value of paying dues to an intangible entity.
What a waste, is it all a waste on
Expressing skepticism about the meaningfulness of actions.
Movements just controlled by strings that are hanging over our heads
Reiterating the theme of external control over movements.
Tugging us against ourselves to cause confusion
Describing how external forces cause inner conflict and confusion.
Lately I can tell I can trust myself
Developing a sense of self-trust amid external pressures.
Send me a sign
Repeating the plea for a sign or confirmation.
Show me your face or speak
Reiterating the desire for a tangible connection or guidance.
I'm dying to know am I still in control
Expressing the urgency of knowing one's level of control.
Look in my eyes and tell me I'm not the same
Seeking confirmation of sanity through eye contact.
Or I'll fall into place like everyone else
Reiterating the fear of conforming to societal norms.
People walk the walk they're told
Observing people following prescribed paths.
And honestly it's getting old
Criticizing the repetitiveness of conforming to societal expectations.
We all can try to fit a mold
Recognizing the temptation to fit into societal molds.
But it might be time to walk alone
Suggesting the importance of individuality and independence.
But it might be time to walk alone
Repeating the idea of choosing individuality over conformity.
Send me a sign
Reiterating the plea for a sign or confirmation.
Show me your face or speak
Reiterating the desire for a tangible connection or guidance.
I'm dying to know am I still in control
Expressing the urgency of knowing one's level of control.
Look in my eyes and tell me I'm not insane
Seeking confirmation of sanity through eye contact.
I won't fall into place like everyone else
Rejecting conformity and asserting individuality.
