The Miracle
Navigating Life's Illusions: Unraveling the Meaning Behind 'The Miracle'
Lyrics
I sailed forever, I sailed so far, and now I know just what the consequences are
The speaker has experienced a long journey or struggle and now understands the consequences.
I laughed out loudy, while I cried inside
Externally appearing cheerful (laughing loudly) while feeling pain or sorrow internally.
But I didn't haave the strength to say enough of this ride
Lacked the strength to put an end to the situation or struggle.
Like a fool-I believed in a miracle
Despite feeling foolish, the speaker had faith in something miraculous.
I wanted to forget, of what I'm not sure
Desire to erase or forget certain memories or aspects of life.
But I found an answer-it seemed to be a perfect cure
Found a solution or remedy that seemed perfect at the time.
Controlled my actions, controlled my thoughts
Exercised control over actions, thoughts, and emotions, leading to a deteriorating state.
Controlled my feelings, and now I feel my body rot-like a fool
Feeling the physical decay or degradation resulting from this control.
I believed in the miracle
Despite feeling foolish earlier, the belief in the miraculous solution persists.
Twisting and I'm turning-freezing then I'm burning
Experiencing drastic emotional shifts and turmoil.
Laughing then I'm crying-am I living or am I dying
Uncertainty about whether the speaker is truly living or merely existing.
Swearing then I'm praying-don't even know what I'm saying
Contradictory actions and thoughts without a clear understanding.
Happy then so sad-forgiving then so mad
Extreme swings between happiness and sadness, forgiveness and anger.
Do you still, do you still believe, do you still believe in,
Questioning belief in miracles and seeking confirmation from others.
Do you still believe in miracles?
Repeating the query about belief in miracles.
Pushing then pulling-who am I fooling
Engaging in conflicting actions without clarity or purpose.
A friend then a foe-do I really even know?
Questioning the authenticity of relationships and self-awareness.
Love and then hate
Experiencing fluctuating emotions between love and hate.
Peace then at war-but what am I fighting for
Struggling between peace and conflict without understanding the cause.
And you always try to
Someone else tries to keep the speaker unaware or subdued.
Keep me-oh so sleepy
An attempt to keep the speaker in a drowsy or ignorant state.
So I can't realize-that it's all lies
Realization that the situation or beliefs are based on falsehoods.
And the more it takes hold of me-the less chance that I'll ever be free
The more deeply entrenched the falsehoods become, the harder it is to break free.
And even though I don't believe-it's so hard to leave-a miracle-a miracle
Even though disbelief exists, breaking away from the miraculous belief is challenging.
Waiting-always hesitating-for that perfect day-that day was yesterday
Constantly waiting for a perfect moment that has already passed.
And the more you're gonna wait-the more of a chance that it will be too late
Delaying actions may result in missed opportunities or consequences.
How can you afford to wait, you just can't afford to wait
Advising against waiting as it may lead to irreparable consequences.
I shed a tear I won't deny it, but just one tear I already cried it
Admitting to shedding a tear but implying that further tears won't be shed.
And now you'll see me cry no more, don't even know what I was crying for
Expressing a determination not to cry again without understanding the reason for the previous tears.
