Puppet Show
Unveiling Hidden Emotions: Steady Drops' Puppet Show
Lyrics
On cold nights the wind blows straight
Reference to a cold and desolate atmosphere where emotions may be exposed.
When city lights blur far away
City lights in the distance, representing blurred and distant aspects of life.
So many things have changed like you and me
Highlighting significant changes in the speaker's life and relationships.
It´s been a while since I forgot how precious time can be
Expressing a realization of the value of time that has passed.
When all that´s left is just a fading memory
Reflection on memories fading away with time.
Tell me do you feel the same?
A query about shared emotions and experiences.
You know nothing about me
Addressing the lack of understanding or knowledge about the speaker.
And who I am you´ll never see
Emphasizing the hidden or unseen aspects of the speaker's identity.
Whatever mask it takes to make you notice me
Willingness to adopt different personas to attract attention.
Like a puppet on an empty shelve waiting for it´s scene
Comparing the speaker to a neglected puppet waiting for recognition.
Always the shoulder for your tears
Consistently providing support but not receiving the same in return.
Then once again the stars align
Moments when things seem to align favorably.
Not knowing that dark clouds are on their way
Unawareness of impending challenges or difficulties.
And hours pass while I wait for your call
Waiting for a call with time passing slowly.
Not a doubt it is me after all
Confirmation of the speaker's anticipation being correct.
Tell me do you feel the same?
Reiteration of the earlier question about shared feelings.
You know nothing about me
Emphasizing the lack of understanding or knowledge about the speaker.
And who I am you´ll never see
Reiterating the hidden or unseen aspects of the speaker's identity.
Whatever mask it takes to make you notice me
Continued willingness to adopt different personas for attention.
Like a puppet on an empty shelve waiting for it´s scene
Repeating the metaphor of the neglected puppet seeking recognition.
Fake a smile or shed a tear
Describing the duality of expressing emotions – faking a smile or shedding a tear.
The right one is always here
Asserting the constant presence of support for the other person.
Covering who I really am
Acknowledging the concealment of the speaker's true self.
Sad it took so long
Expressing regret for the delayed realization of one's true identity.
Feelings over reason
Choosing feelings over rationality, possibly in reference to emotional decisions.
Your promise turned out wrong
Highlighting broken promises and unfulfilled commitments.
A never changing season
Metaphor for a stagnant and unchanging emotional state.
Looking at the mirror I´m not sure what I will see
Uncertainty about self-perception when looking in the mirror.
So many different faces that don´t belong to me
Acknowledging the presence of various, possibly conflicting, personas.
Tell me do you feel the same?
Repeating the question about shared feelings with a sense of urgency.
You know nothing about me
Reiterating the lack of understanding or knowledge about the speaker.
And who I am you´ll never see
Reiterating the hidden or unseen aspects of the speaker's identity.
Whatever mask it takes to make you notice me
Continued willingness to adopt different personas for attention.
Like a puppet on an empty shelve waiting for it´s scene
Repeating the metaphor of the neglected puppet seeking recognition.
Fake a smile or shed a tear
Reiterating the duality of expressing emotions – faking a smile or shedding a tear.
The right one is always here
Affirming the constant presence of support for the other person.
Covering who I really am
Reaffirming the concealment of the speaker's true self.
Who I really am
Final emphasis on the hidden identity and the desire for recognition.
