Fool in the Photograph
Embracing Liberation: Unveiling the Soul Behind 'Fool in the Photograph'
Lyrics
me and the fool in the photograph
Reflection on a past self captured in a photograph.
a soul many times revealed
A soul that has been exposed and explored multiple times.
the scars only half concealed...
Only partially hiding emotional scars.
i wonder how many days i'll bleed
Contemplating the duration of emotional pain.
with the words i refuse to form:
Struggling to articulate certain feelings.
now i will be free...
Expressing a desire for freedom.
but lately, i refuse you
Rejecting a connection or relationship.
with these arms i will break through you
Asserting the intention to overcome obstacles.
wait only to see you far removed
Anticipating distance from the source of pain.
no more the fool in the photograph
No longer identifying as the person in the photograph.
that night chained in your embrace
Recalling a night entangled in someone's embrace.
day dawned and i saw your face
Realizing the truth about the person at dawn.
i wonder how many days i'll bleed
Contemplating the duration of renewed emotional pain.
with the words i begin to form:
Beginning to articulate suppressed emotions.
now i will be free...
Expressing a renewed desire for freedom.
lately, i refuse you
Continued rejection of a connection or relationship.
with these arms i will break through you
Reiterating the determination to overcome obstacles.
wait only to see you far removed
Anticipating further distance from the source of pain.
wasting time, you tell the story still
Reflecting on wasted time and a persistent narrative.
made you mind you're chasing the moon
Deciding to pursue an elusive goal (chasing the moon).
making scars among the glory
Creating emotional wounds amid achievements.
still you're pulling down
Continuing to bring oneself down despite efforts.
wasting time, you tell the story
Repeating the cycle of wasting time and storytelling.
some kind of magic
Alluding to a mysterious, perhaps deceptive, influence.
i've waited here all too long...
Enduring a prolonged wait for something magical.
