Keep Your Eyes Peeled
Lost Souls in a Blue Sky Dream
Lyrics
Don't look, just keep your eyes peeled
Emphasizing the need to stay alert and aware without actively seeking or focusing on specific things.
Thoughtless, trapped in my minefield
Feeling reckless and stuck in a situation fraught with personal dangers and challenges.
Shotgun, never behind the wheel anymore
Metaphorically, not in control of one's actions or life's direction, like being a passenger rather than driving.
Danger, monsters of smoke and mirror
Referring to deceptive and threatening elements that obscure reality.
Slowly, can one so lost be found?
Questioning the possibility of redemption or being saved when feeling profoundly lost.
And I know, you will never believe
Awareness of the doubt or skepticism others might hold regarding personal struggles.
I play as though I'm alright
Pretending to be okay despite inner turmoil or difficulties.
If life is but a dream, then
Contemplating the nature of existence and the possibility that life is not entirely real.
Wake me up
An expression of wanting to break free from the perceived dreamlike state of life.
Fallen leaves realize they are no friend of autumn
Realization that something seemingly beautiful (leaves) can also signify the end or bring negative connotations.
The view from Hell is blue sky
Describing a contrasting and unexpected perspective of suffering, where even hell has a deceptive beauty.
So ominously blue
Highlighting the eerie and foreboding nature of the sky in the mentioned view from Hell.
Daydream until all the blue is gone
Escaping from reality by daydreaming until the unsettling feelings or negativity dissipates.
And I know you'll never believe
Reiteration of the lack of belief or understanding from others regarding personal struggles.
I play as though I'm alright
Continuing to act as if everything is fine despite internal turmoil.
If life is but a dream,
Reflecting on the potential unreality of life's experiences and existence.
Wake me
Expressing a desire to awaken from this perceived dreamlike or unreal state of life.
Underwater is another life
Portraying an alternate reality or situation that contrasts with the known or perceived one.
Disregarding every myth we write
Choosing to disregard or ignore constructed narratives or falsehoods.
Rag doll churning
Describing a chaotic or uncontrollable situation symbolized by a rag doll in motion.
Eagerly alive
Being enthusiastically engaged or active despite adverse circumstances.
Big smile, really a show of teeth
Appearing happy or content outwardly while concealing deeper emotions or fears.
Without a care in a world of fear
Living seemingly carefree despite being surrounded by anxiety and apprehension.
Lonely, you don't know how I feel
Expressing the isolation or lack of understanding regarding personal emotions or experiences.
Praise God, nothing is as it seems
Asserting that appearances can be deceiving and reality might differ from what it seems.
