Lyrics
Pick a lens
Pick a perspective or point of view
To look through as life dances and pretends
Observe life's movements and façades through that chosen perspective
To go your way until the day commends you
Continue on your path until circumstances acknowledge your efforts
For an honest try
Be recognized for genuinely attempting
On the sofa watching the TV
In a relaxed setting, watching television
Isn’t it easy to feel everything at once?
Reflect on the simplicity of feeling a myriad of emotions simultaneously
I know it happens all the time
Acknowledge that such experiences are common
Stay in bed
Stay in bed, pondering mental struggles
Wonder what’s wrong with my head
Question the issues within one's mind
Go back to sleep
Return to sleep as an escape
But in my dreams there lies
In dreams, confront another emotional turmoil that cannot be overlooked
Another broken place I can’t ignore
Recognize an unresolved, troubled place
Though I want to
Express a desire to ignore the emotional turmoil
If I could do all of the things I have in mind
If able, accomplish all envisioned goals
I would be refined
Attain refinement through achieving those goals
I would fall in line with the others
Conform to societal expectations and norms
But I can’t right now
Currently unable to conform
Carry forth my burden fragile eyes
Carry the weight of personal struggles with vulnerable eyes
Run me dry
Deplete emotional resources
(Run me dry)
(Repetition) Emphasize the emotional exhaustion
Reinventing ways to let me down
Find new ways to disappoint or hurt
Travel up the mountain
Embark on a challenging journey
Throw me off the ledge
Face potential adversity or rejection
Could you stay your distance
Requesting distance, questioning its impact on self-realization
Knowing that it helps me understand my worth?
Understanding one's value through maintaining distance
Lost girl can you hear me?
Addressing a lost individual, questioning their ability to perceive
The door is closed
Acknowledge a closed opportunity or relationship
Validate your weakness in the arms of a fool
Seek validation in the wrong places, potentially with detrimental consequences
Disappear for good
Express a desire to permanently retreat or withdraw
Disappear for good
Reiterate the intention to disappear permanently
