Pyrite Pedestal
Metamorphosis of Self: Unveiling the Pyrite Pedestal
Lyrics
Once, while falling into approvals tricky arms
Reflecting on a past experience of seeking approval, which proved challenging.
I saw esteem's corpse
Witnessing the lifelessness of self-esteem, possibly due to past experiences.
Deafened by allure's sweet, sweet song
Being unable to hear due to the captivating nature of a tempting and attractive song.
On Stygian shores
Referring to dark and gloomy shores, symbolizing a difficult or negative situation.
Affixed like I'm under a spell
Feeling constrained or captivated as if under a magical influence.
That ain't even like myself
Not recognizing one's own behavior, feeling out of character.
No - things are going to change
A declaration that a change is imminent.
That starts today
Expressing the beginning of the change, starting from today.
It seems just yesterday I ate it up
Recalling a recent past where the speaker believed and accepted something.
Your yarns were dipped in gold
Describing someone's stories as attractive and valuable, possibly deceiving.
I swallowed them whole
Swallowing those stories whole, accepting them completely.
The real tragedy is that your act is just boring and old
Critiquing the storyteller's act as uninteresting, lacking novelty or excitement.
Back and forth with this disdain
Experiencing a fluctuation of negative emotions.
That ain't even why I came
Expressing that the reason for the negative feelings is not the original intention or purpose.
And when I scream
Shouting or expressing intense emotions.
You want me crawling on my knees
Describing a desire for submission or vulnerability from the other person.
I guess these days I'm someone else
Acknowledging a transformation or change in identity.
I'm better off all by myself
Believing that being alone is preferable and healthier.
These days I'm just somebody else
Affirming the current state of being someone different from the past.
