Miracles
Unveiling Life's Illusions: Slow Machines' Miracles
Lyrics
Not quite sure what to think
Expressing uncertainty about one's thoughts.
When faced with my own vanity
Contemplating own vanity and self-awareness.
Guess I'll just try and go to sleep
Deciding to cope by attempting to sleep.
We never did believe in miracles
Acknowledging a lack of belief in miracles.
You never did believe in anything
Highlighting a general lack of belief in anything.
So I protect myself with shallow mediocrity
Using shallow mediocrity as a defense mechanism.
I've learned to make myself look clean
Learning to present oneself as clean and put together.
Just don't look underneath the rug, my dear
Warning against looking beneath the surface.
Don't look to far beyond the cool veneer
Advising not to explore beyond the superficial.
I'll disappear
Hinting at a tendency to disappear or withdraw.
I can't hide
Expressing inability to hide from something.
I can't fight
Expressing inability to fight against something.
And here we are you see
Acknowledging the present situation.
We've learned to love our enemies
Claiming the ability to love enemies.
We're just so fucking pure and clean
Satirizing a self-perceived purity and cleanliness.
We never learned to handle suffering
Admitting a lack of learning to handle suffering.
We were never taught to deal with anything
Not being taught how to deal with anything.
And here in silence
Describing a silent contemplation.
We will dance around this reckoning
Engaging in a dance around a difficult situation.
It's all good as long as we don't speak
Accepting silence as long as the truth remains unspoken.
We never did believe in miracles
Reiterating a disbelief in miracles.
I never did believe in anything
Personalizing the lack of belief in anything.
I can't hide
Expressing inability to hide from something.
I can't fight
Expressing inability to fight against something.
Here in these frozen halls
Describing a situation in frozen halls.
The silences are deafening
Noting the deafening nature of the surrounding silence.
You can pray to God
Suggesting that praying may not yield results.
But God won't hear a thing
Emphasizing the lack of divine response to prayers.
We never did believe in miracles
Reiterating a disbelief in miracles.
We never did believe in anything
Reiterating a general lack of belief in anything.
In anything
Finalizing the statement of disbelief in anything.
