Made To Look
Reflections on Time: Embracing Change Beyond the Surface
Lyrics
Looking back.
Reflecting on the past.
At how time was spent.
Contemplating how time was utilized.
One regret allow to cause discontent.
Expressing regret that leads to dissatisfaction.
No man, having put
No person, once committed to a task (plow), can easily reverse course.
Hand to the plow
Metaphorically, starting a task or endeavor.
Can turn back
Highlighting the difficulty of turning away once committed.
And expect to endow.
Not expecting to receive benefits or endowments by turning back.
I was.
Referring to a personal experience of inability to change.
Unable to change.
Expressing a sense of helplessness in effecting change.
Made to look
Suggesting being manipulated or misrepresented.
Beyond.
Forced to perceive beyond the superficial.
What's on the surface.
Looking past what is readily apparent.
Seeing through.
Discerning the truth.
A lie.
Identifying falsehoods and not acknowledging them.
Paying it no service.
Choosing not to give credibility to lies.
Yet you still stay and you still divide.
Despite challenges, someone remains in the situation and causes division.
I am pushed out and forced to move on.
Feeling compelled to move forward despite being pushed out.
