Eyescaled
Unveiling Hidden Desires: Soulscraper's Eyescaled Revelations
Lyrics
It's funny how it's only me who knows that's not supposed to be
Expressing awareness of a situation that others may not recognize.
The way that things are happening right now
Commenting on the current unexpected events and their impact.
And it's funny how you've got no clue about how the world revolves around you
Noting the lack of understanding about the world's dynamics.
These scales will not fall from your eyes
Suggesting an inability to see certain truths or realities.
The pacifying fact that we have never actually met
Reflecting on the absence of a real-life connection despite a comforting thought.
Is what just keeps me up and keeping tabs on you
Monitoring and observing from a distance, perhaps through surveillance.
From my kitty-cornered view
Observing from an indirect or concealed perspective.
Sometimes it's hard to see
Acknowledging the difficulty in perceiving certain aspects.
The clown that I appear to be
Recognizing a discrepancy between appearance and reality.
Each time you could be close enough
Expressing the desire for proximity without revealing oneself.
To accidently see me
Anticipating a potential accidental encounter.
Each night I watch you sitting all alone right by your window sill
Describing the act of observing someone alone by their window regularly.
And stare at how you sip your glass of wine
Focusing on the details of the person's actions, like sipping wine.
I'm not a dreamer, ain't naive, but I believe
Asserting a belief in happy endings despite a realistic outlook.
That happy ends exist
Acknowledging a belief in happy endings only in the realm of movies.
Although only in movies
Expressing dislike for certain types of happy endings.
The kinds of I don't like
Reiterating the challenge of recognizing one's true self.
Sometimes it's hard to see
Revisiting the theme of hidden identity and challenges in perception.
The clown that I appear to be
Reiterating the discrepancy between appearance and reality.
Each time you could be close enough
Expressing the desire for close proximity without direct interaction.
To accidently see me
Anticipating the possibility of being seen accidentally.
It's not that I ain't used to disappointments
Admitting familiarity with disappointments but suggesting endurance.
But constant drops of water now have
Using a metaphor of constant drops eroding a stone to depict resilience.
Worn away the stone
Connecting the persistence of a cactus to enduring hardships.
That blooming cactus in your window shows perfectly how this works
Highlighting the beauty of resilience but warning about potential pain.
So pretty that you wanna touch
Describing the attractiveness of resilience but cautioning about consequences.
But once you do it hurts
Emphasizing the hidden pain and lack of visible wounds.
The stings stay deep, you don't bleed
Explaining the lasting impact of emotional wounds.
So no one sees the pain
Detailing the hidden nature of emotional pain.
If we finally meet in person
Expressing hope for a positive change if a face-to-face meeting occurs.
That cactus blooms again
Linking the meeting to the potential revival of positivity.
I hope you'll never see
Expressing a wish to maintain the hidden identity in person.
This clown that I appear
Reiterating the theme of a concealed identity or persona.
To be
Concluding with a reminder of the hidden, misunderstood identity.
