Embracing Shadows: Trust, Karma, and Self-Discovery in Silent Ivy's 'LightWork'
Lyrics
Trust in me
Expressing a plea for trust and confidence.
Trust in me
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the need for trust.
In all actuality, there is no guarantee of reality
Suggesting uncertainty about the nature of reality.
Karma slowly creeping in, weakening my anatomy
Introducing the concept of karma affecting the speaker's physical being.
The gravity of agony pulling me back to me
Describing the pull of agonizing experiences back to the self.
Is absurd to me, it's hurting me, and I don't want this hurt in me
Expressing the emotional impact of the absurdity and pain in the speaker's life.
Actively, they worship me, internally attacking me
Highlighting internal conflicts with worship and attacks from within.
I need third eye surgery for my family tree
Metaphorically expressing a need for a deeper understanding of familial roots.
Speaking candidly, used to think the universe abandoned me
Sharing a personal struggle with feeling abandoned by the universe.
But really, it was carrying me
Realizing that the universe was, in fact, supporting and carrying the speaker.
When i was lacking clarity, in this valley so deep
Describing a period of confusion and lack of clarity in life.
In this alley, I weep
Expressing emotional pain and vulnerability in a deep, metaphorical valley.
To clarify, there's a shadow in me
Acknowledging the presence of a dark aspect within the speaker.
Feel like an arrow in my chest when I sleep
Comparing emotional pain to an arrow in the chest during sleep.
As I elevate, recalibrate, and find my feet
Describing a process of personal growth, self-adjustment, and finding stability.
I don't like to chase defeat, I know a place we can meet
Expressing a dislike for pursuing failure, offering a meeting place for resolution.
Get away, take a seat, take you back to where you stay
Suggesting an escape from burdens and offering support.
All that weight on your face, i made a plate so you can eat
Symbolizing providing sustenance to alleviate someone else's burdens.
Make a change, don't repeat the same mistakes
Encouraging personal growth by avoiding repeated mistakes.
You and me, we are the same, we don't really need to speak
Asserting a commonality between the speaker and the listener, minimizing the need for words.
Leaking all through the street
Describing emotional overflow affecting the surroundings.
Don't believe all you see
Advising skepticism toward external perceptions.
When you seek, you shall find
Encouraging active seeking for understanding and truth.
I been bleak in my mind
Describing a period of desolation or hopelessness in the speaker's thoughts.
I release, then retreat, realigned with the signs
Expressing a cycle of release and withdrawal in alignment with life's signs.
In all actuality, there is no guarantee of reality
Repetition of line 3 for emphasis, highlighting the uncertainty of reality.
Karma slowly creeping in, weakening my anatomy
Repetition of lines 4-6, emphasizing the impact of karma and internal struggles.
The gravity of agony pulling me back to me
Repetition of lines 5-6, reinforcing the pain and desire to avoid it.
Is absurd to me, it's hurting me, and I don't want this hurt in me
Repetition of lines 6-7, highlighting the internal conflicts and emotional burden.
Actively, they worship me, internally attacking me
Repetition of lines 7-8, reiterating the need for deeper understanding of family.
I need third eye surgery for my family tree
Repetition of lines 8-9, expressing a need for spiritual insight within the family context.
You can trust in me
Reiteration of the initial plea for trust.
Trust!
Emphasizing trust with an exclamation, possibly as a concluding statement.
