Nothing As It Seems
Unveiling Illusions: Sean Nicholas Savage's Poetic Reflections
Lyrics
acting through my daily routine
Expressing the act of going through daily activities.
playing someone i used to be
Portrays the act of pretending to be a past version of oneself.
cameras anywhere you name it
Highlighting the pervasive presence of cameras in various places.
people they don’t understand it’s tearing me apart at the seams
Describing the struggle and internal conflict causing emotional distress.
that’s what makes me wanna sing
Expressing a desire to sing as a coping mechanism.
something i can never be
Desire to embody something unattainable.
that’s the way i wanna feel
Expressing a preferred emotional state.
like nothing’s the way that it seems
Yearning for a reality where appearances do not deceive.
maybe it’s too unreal
Doubting the feasibility or reality of the desired state.
if it don’t make any difference now
Questioning the impact of current actions on the overall situation.
maybe i just can’t feel if i’ll ever make it through anyhow
Expressing emotional numbness or inability to foresee the future.
and that’s what makes me wanna sing
Reiterating the desire to sing as an outlet for emotions.
something i could never be
Aspiring to be something beyond one's current capacity.
and now nothing is the way it seems
Highlighting a shift in perception where reality is different from appearances.
got this feeling we just made it
Expressing a strong sense of accomplishment or relief.
so strong i can hardly taste it
Describing the intensity of a positive emotion.
good times how they come and they go
Reflecting on the transient nature of enjoyable moments.
smells like someone i used to know
Referencing a familiar scent associated with the past.
pouring over me like a wave
Describing an overwhelming experience reminiscent of a wave.
that’s what makes me wanna sing
Reiterating the connection between emotions and the desire to sing.
if language is only a dance and image is everything
Questioning the significance of language and emphasizing the importance of image.
but you’re only gonna give us a glance
Expressing frustration at only receiving a brief or superficial understanding.
maybe it hurts too bad
Suggesting that the emotional pain might be too intense.
and if it don’t make any difference at all
Questioning the impact of current actions on the overall situation.
maybe it’s all i have and i’ll never make it through to the wall
Indicating a potential sense of hopelessness or reliance on a specific situation.
and that’s what makes me wanna sing
Reiterating the desire to sing as a response to the emotional state.
somewhere i could never be
Desiring to be in a place or state that is currently unattainable.
cos tonight you know nothing is the way it seems
Emphasizing the contrast between appearance and reality.
oh yeah, oh yeah
Expressing agreement or acknowledgment of the current state.
ooo nothing is the way it seems
Reiterating the theme that appearances can be deceiving.
