A Human Certainty
Unveiling the Turmoil Within: A Human Certainty
Lyrics
Don't come in here
Warning against entering a personal space
You'll see something ugly
Anticipation of witnessing something unpleasant
It's not the kind of thing
Unexpected and unsettling aspect of the body
You'd expect from a body
Contrasting the appearance with expectations
Don't come in here
Reiteration of the warning not to enter
Don't see me this way
Desire to hide one's vulnerable state
With my knees on rice
Physical position with a prayer for survival
And a prayer for the prey
Reference to the prey, suggesting vulnerability
My face is heavy
Expressing emotional burden on the face
My mind is clenched
Mental tension and stress
My eyes are disgusted
Disgust in the gaze
My hands are hot
Physical warmth or intensity of feelings
My walls are green
Symbolic reference to the environment
My walls are red
Another symbolic reference to changing emotions
I only cry wolf
Metaphorically using 'crying wolf' as a false alarm
When all my sheep are dead
Only seeking help when it's too late
Don't come in here
Repetition of the plea not to enter
I beg of you
Emphatic request to stay away
Yes there's love in my heart
Acknowledging love in the heart despite inner conflicts
But there's hatred in my thoughts
Conflict between love and hateful thoughts
Don't believe in me
Distrust in belief and credibility
Or anything that speaks
Skepticism towards spoken words
For you won't be deceived
Warning against deception by human certainty
By a human certainty
Highlighting the certainty of human flaws
My face is heavy
Repetition of emotional burden on the face
My mind is clenched
Reiteration of mental tension and stress
My eyes are disgusted
Repetition of disgust in the gaze
My hands are hot
Repetition of physical warmth or intensity of feelings
My walls are green
Repetition of symbolic reference to the environment
My walls are red
Repetition of symbolic reference to changing emotions
I only cry wolf
Repetition of the metaphor 'crying wolf'
When all my sheep are dead
Reiteration of seeking help when it's too late
Last night I had a dream about you
Narrative of a dream about the person
And in my dream you were only
Describing the person as asleep in the dream
Asleep I sat in a chair and watched
Observation of the person's beauty while asleep
You as you laid there so beautifully
Feelings of loneliness in the still of the night
The still of the night made me lonely
Desire to physically connect with the person
I wanted to touch you. I wanted
Expressing the wish to touch and feel the person
To feel you. I wanted things to be
Desire for a perfect scenario with promises
Just like they rise to be except I'd
Expression of shame for not keeping promises
Keep all my promises the I felt
Continued shame and realization of shared guilt
So ashamed
Admission of feeling ashamed
I was so ashamed until
Continued shame until recognizing commonality
I realized we're all guilty of that dream
Acknowledgment of the universality of the dream
And forever I wish you
Wishing a peaceful sleep for the person
A beautiful sleep
Final wish for a beautiful sleep
