Oblivion
Navigating Ambivalence: Roy Shakked's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
On one hand I've got my way
Expressing having a defined path or approach.
And on the other one who's to say
Indicating uncertainty or lack of clarity about whose perspective or opinion holds weight.
One side breathing no stress
Describing a side characterized by calmness, devoid of pressure or strain.
And on the other side it's anybody's guess
Contrasting with uncertainty, emphasizing an unpredictable situation.
Give me one more shot of ambivalence
Requesting for a moment of uncertainty or indecisiveness.
before I hit the road
Before embarking on a journey or undertaking.
Give me one last sniff of my innocence
Seeking a final moment of purity or naivety.
I hold on tight to save the one
Struggling to preserve or safeguard one aspect.
Fade the other to oblivion
Allowing the fading of the other aspect into obscurity.
Keep my eyes locked on you, no doubt
Being focused on a certain person or objective without uncertainty.
One life through the door, the other out
Describing a transition between two different phases or situations.
It's shaking me back to front and sideways
Experiencing a tumultuous, disorienting effect in various directions.
I bounce back rattled, eyes glazed
Rebounding after difficulty, feeling dazed.
Keep your words short so I don't confuse myself
Requesting concise communication to avoid confusion.
I hear the bell but I don't wanna to get up
Being aware of an obligation or signal but resisting involvement.
Don't wanna get up
Expressing a reluctance or refusal to engage.
Give me one more shot of ambivalence
Reiterating the desire for a moment of uncertainty or indecision.
before I hit the road
Prior to departing on a journey or action.
Give me one last sniff of my innocence
Seeking a final experience of purity or innocence.
I hold on tight to save the one
Struggling to maintain or safeguard one aspect.
Fade the other to oblivion
Allowing the fading of the other aspect into obscurity.
Keep my eyes locked on you, no doubt
Being focused on a particular person or goal without uncertainty.
One life through the door, the other out
Transitioning between different phases or situations.
Get up off the fence and don't look back
Encouraging decisiveness and forward movement without hesitation.
