Lyrics
It's hard to reconcile so you smile to save face
Dealing with difficulty by putting on a smile to maintain composure.
Just another grip to shake
Referring to routine challenges that need to be overcome.
There's no bottom line so you'll fall til you fade
Facing uncertainty and persisting despite the lack of clear conclusions.
We're all just images these days
Commenting on the superficial nature of contemporary existence.
Does it feel bittersweet, all the time you keep
Questioning the mixed emotions experienced in maintaining certain secrets.
Eyes closed to the signs but you're not asleep
Being oblivious to warning signs while remaining conscious.
You can run you can hide but in it creeps
Expressing the inevitability of confronting challenges despite attempts to avoid them.
You've got your back to the fire, it's still
Facing a difficult situation with resilience.
Gonna burn you deep
Emphasizing the intensity of the challenges that will profoundly affect the individual.
Gonna burn you deep
-This is no straight line, it can break, it can bend
Life's path is unpredictable and can be fragile.
Change has always been our friend
Highlighting the inevitability and positive aspects of change.
More than most you feel that they don't understand
Feeling misunderstood, especially when others lack empathy.
This could so easily be the end
Suggesting that challenges could lead to a potential end.
Does it feel bittersweet, all the time you keep
Reiterating the emotional struggle and the persistent threat approaching from behind.
Eyes closed to the signs but you're not asleep
-You can run you can hide but in it creeps
-You've got your back to the fire, it's still
-Does it feel bittersweet, all the time you keep
Repetition of the theme, emphasizing the inescapable nature of challenges.
Eyes closed to the signs but you're not asleep
-You can run you can hide but in it creeps
-You've got your back to the fire, it's still
-These lives are worth more than what you deplore
Affirming the value of lives despite opposing views.
And if you don't bend there's worse yet in store
Warning of potential consequences if one remains inflexible.
This land's in a fog but what can be done
Describing a confusing and uncertain state of affairs.
A true demagogue what will be enough
Referring to a charismatic leader with questionable motives.
Left hand over eyes right hand over heart
Symbolizing a gesture of partial blindness and loyalty.
These words you despise it's only the start
Anticipating resistance to unwelcome truths.
Bite the bill that feeds, yeah, we all have needs
Exploring the idea of sacrificing principles for personal needs.
It comes at a cost, but what has he lost
-Does it feel bittersweet, all the time you keep
Repeating the theme of internal conflict and external threats.
Eyes closed to the signs but you're not asleep
-You can run you can hide but in it creeps
-You've got your back to the fire, it's still
-Does it feel bittersweet, all the time you keep
-Eyes closed to the signs but you're not asleep
-You can run you can hide but in it creeps
-You've got your back to the fire, it's still
-Gonna burn you deep
Final emphasis on the profound impact of challenges.
Gonna burn you deep
