Embracing Renewal: A Journey Through Life's Distorted Lens
Lyrics
Can I present
Expressing a desire to present oneself.
Enough to truly feel a breath run through my skin
Yearning to experience a profound connection, feeling a breath on the skin.
In rumination, I feel apprehension
Reflecting on thoughts with a sense of unease or anxiety.
And of course relive some things
Revisiting past experiences or memories.
Well, I'm at odds with
Feeling conflicted between the current life and the creative process of making music.
A present life and making song
Contemplating on creating songs about past or future times.
Of times gone, or yet to come
Exploring the tension between the present, past, and future.
I was looking through a dark distorted lens
Viewing life through a distorted and negative perspective.
So it ain't no wonder why it all went tense
Acknowledging the reasons for the tense situation, possibly related to distorted perceptions.
If we've got filters through which we see the world
Recognizing the presence of filters shaping one's worldview.
Then I must admit that mine had messed me up
Admitting that personal filters have caused confusion or problems.
Oh, but there'll be no fear to dust off and start again
Expressing a determination to overcome fear and start anew.
Can I be conscious
Questioning the level of consciousness and self-awareness.
Just enough to lift myself out of autopilot
Striving to break free from routine and act with intention.
And in contemplation, I'm having visions
Experiencing imaginative thoughts about an ideal life.
Of a life I'd like to lead
Aspiring to lead a life aligned with these visions.
I'll search for answers
Committing to seek answers and make necessary changes.
And where to alter and amend
Identifying areas in life that require modification.
Will come to light
Believing that solutions will become apparent.
I'm sure of it
Expressing confidence in the eventual clarity of the situation.
I was looking through a dark distorted lens
Reiterating the negative impact of distorted perceptions on life.
So it ain't no wonder why it all went tense
Acknowledging the reasons for the tense situation, possibly related to distorted perceptions.
If we've got filters through which we see the world
Recognizing the presence of filters shaping one's worldview.
Then I must admit that mine had messed me up
Admitting that personal filters have caused confusion or problems.
Oh, but there'll be no fear to dust off and start again
Expressing a determination to overcome fear and start anew.
And start again
Emphasizing the resolution to begin again.
And start again
Repetition for emphasis on the idea of starting afresh.
And start again
-And start again
-Can I be present
Reiterating the desire to be present and break free from autopilot mode.
Just enough to lift myself
Striving to be conscious and lift oneself out of routine behavior.
Out of autopilot
Continuing the theme of breaking free from autopilot and being present in life.
