Lyrics
They come and go
People come and go, transient like waves on an uninhabited shore
Like waves at an empty coast
Uncertainty about when understanding will dawn
When will we know
Curiosity about what lies beneath the surface
What lies under the skim?
Exploration of deeper meanings or truths
And if we look in and ignite
Exploring inner thoughts and sparking self-awareness
The candlelight behind our eyes
Inner enlightenment and realization represented by candlelight
What will we find?
Questioning what revelations lie within
We give and we take
Reciprocal actions in relationships
And we bend 'til we break
Bending and adapting until reaching a breaking point
We pick up the pieces
Picking up the broken pieces and discarding them
And then throw them away
A cycle of giving, breaking, and discarding
Experiencing reality for the first time again
Rediscovering reality with fresh perspective
Cause everything looks different through a different lens
Perceiving things differently through a changed lens
Like waking from a dream
Comparing the experience to awakening from a dream
With a sixth sense
Attaining a heightened awareness, possibly a spiritual awakening
Is this how it feels to be enlightened?
Questioning if enlightenment brings a distinct feeling
We give and we take
Reiteration of the give-and-take nature of relationships
We bend 'til we break
Continuing the cycle of bending until breaking
We pick up the pieces
Repeating the process of picking up and discarding fragments
And then throw them away
The repetition of a cyclic pattern in relationships
Now I've given up everything
Surrendering everything and feeling emotionally vacant
I'm just empty space
Emptiness as a consequence of letting go
And in this moment
Experiencing a moment of self-awareness or clarity
I'm finally awake
Achieving a state of wakefulness or enlightenment
Light the candle
Symbolic act of lighting a candle, possibly representing hope or understanding
Light the candle
Repetition of the symbolic act, emphasizing its significance
We give and we take
Reiteration of the give-and-take dynamic in relationships
And we bend 'til we break
Continuing to bend until reaching a breaking point
We pick up the pieces
Repeating the process of picking up and discarding fragments
And then throw them away
The recurring pattern of cyclical relationships
Now I've given up everything
Complete surrender, resulting in emotional emptiness
I'm just empty space
Existence as a void after letting go of everything
And in this moment
Experiencing a moment of profound wakefulness
I'm finally awake
Attaining a state of heightened awareness
We give and we take
Reiteration of the give-and-take nature of relationships
And we bend 'til we break
Continuing the cycle of bending until breaking
We pick up the pieces
Repeating the process of picking up and discarding fragments
And then throw them away
The cyclic nature of relationships and emotional patterns
And in this moment
A moment of profound wakefulness or clarity
I'm finally awake
Achieving a state of heightened awareness
And in this moment
Emphasizing the current state of wakefulness
I'm finally awake
Reiteration of the current awakened state
