Understudy
Unveiling Life's Script: Puddle Splasher's Understudy
Lyrics
Go down the list
Initiating a review or reflection.
Of chances missed
Recalling missed opportunities or chances.
Forgetting some
Choosing to forget some of these missed chances.
No matter what
Regardless of circumstances or actions.
Moments persist
Special moments persist in memory.
Including this
Specifically including the current moment.
The passing time
Time passing by.
Seconds defined
Defining moments in seconds.
By flawed design
Defined by inherent imperfections.
Far too much
An excess amount, possibly referring to flaws.
Or lack thereof
Or the absence of something.
No in-between
No middle ground or compromise.
Half true the new you arrives
Someone new, partially true, emerges.
An understudy rehearsing lines
An individual learning and practicing lines, possibly in the context of life's experiences.
Without wounds
Without visible scars or emotional wounds.
It's barely you
It's almost unrecognizable as you.
Barely you
Reiteration of the idea that this version is barely recognizable as oneself.
The padded paw
A soft or cautious approach revealing a hidden danger or negativity.
Reveals a claw
The hidden danger becomes more apparent.
Dug deeper still
Digging deeper into the concealed negativity.
The open door
An opportunity to escape or change ignored.
Of pain ignored
Ignoring pain and its open manifestation.
Nursing you
Caring for oneself, perhaps symbolized by nursing.
Penetrate
Deeply understanding or absorbing passing thoughts.
the passing thought
Now feeling lost or disconnected.
Now you're lost
A ghostly presence, marked by misfortune.
A ghost star-crossed
Destined to haunt or linger.
Eager to haunt
Fulfilling its purpose, whether positive or negative.
It's purpose served
A shift in focus or accomplishment.
Red and blue
Colors representing opposing or contrasting futures.
A future lies
A future lies ahead, marked by choices.
Your understudy
Someone learning and adopting your life's experiences.
Learned the lines
Mastering the lessons without visible scars.
Without wounds
Similar to previous lines, a transformed and unrecognizable version of oneself.
It's barely you
Reiteration of the idea that this version is barely recognizable as oneself.
Barely you
Repetition emphasizing the transformed or unfamiliar self.
Barely you
Further emphasis on the altered or distant self.
Barely you
Final repetition, underscoring the unfamiliarity of the present self.
