The Bitter End
Sculpting My Reality: Unveiling the Bitter Truth of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I’ll never fear
I face death without fear.
The fact that I am dying
My concern is not dying but our lack of effort.
Even if I’m 1,000 miles from my home
Distance from home doesn't affect my fear of death.
My only fear is the fact that we're not trying
Fearful that we're not making an effort; world peace remains elusive.
And world peace is something we may never know
Expressing doubt about achieving world peace.
As the cold consumes my body
Feeling overwhelmed by cold; losing control.
I start to lose control
Desire to discover oneself thwarted by external influences.
All I wanted was to find myself
The longing for self-discovery.
But my shadow is all I’ve ever known
Living in the shadow, lacking true self-awareness.
You don’t have to listen to my words
Encouraging others to ignore their words if they wish.
If you don’t want to
Commitment to listen after expressing oneself.
But when I’m done I’ll be sure to listen
Willingness to listen to others.
Listen to you
Recognition of personal responsibility for one's reality.
I am the artist of my own reality
Self-awareness as the creator of one's reality.
With careful hands I sculpted my reflection
Crafting one's identity with care.
Piece by piece at the bitter end
Sculpting oneself at challenging moments.
I held the world in my hands
Having control and influence over the world.
For the first time in my life
A pivotal moment of realization.
I can finally see
Gaining clarity about personal issues.
That the world is not the problem
Realization that personal issues, not the world, were problematic.
The problem was always me
Acknowledging personal responsibility for problems.
You don’t know me
Recognition of the lack of mutual understanding.
Well I don’t know myself
Uncertainty about one's own identity.
You don’t have to listen to my words
Encouraging others to ignore their words if they wish.
If you don’t want to
Commitment to listen after expressing oneself.
But when I’m done I’ll be sure to listen
Willingness to listen to others.
Listen to you
Reiteration of commitment to listen.
I’ll be sure to listen to you
Emphasizing the intention to listen.
I’ll be sure to listen to you
Repeated emphasis on the intention to listen.
Carry me into the sun
Desire to be taken towards positivity and enlightenment.
Let the light pour through my eyes
Seeking illumination and clarity.
Until the dead of night is gone
Waiting for darkness to dissipate.
Carry me into the sun
Reiteration of the desire for positivity and enlightenment.
You're the embodiment of hope
Recognizing someone as a symbol of hope.
It’s the torch that you hold
The hope held by someone as a guiding light.
I’m a thousand miles from you now
Expressing physical distance but emotional closeness.
Just know you were my home
Acknowledging someone as a significant part of one's life.
