Complexion
Rebirth of Reflection: TAPE HOUSE's Odyssey through Transformation
Lyrics
My fading complexion
Reflection on the deterioration of one's skin or identity.
The future moves towards me
A contemplation of the approaching future and its impact.
The perfect reflection
Feeling like a flawless mirror image, possibly due to external validation.
The way that you adore me
Acknowledgment of someone's admiration or love.
And I don't have much time
A sense of urgency or limited time available.
Feelings of the waves rush over me
Being overwhelmed by emotional experiences.
Sunken are the cheeks
A metaphorical description of facial features losing vitality.
The man that use to starve
Transformation from a state of scarcity to a better life.
Sprits leave my skin, left the bottle in the dark
Release of inner struggles, perhaps related to addiction.
I've given my confession
Admitting personal faults or mistakes.
I hope I find a place of your mercy
Desire for forgiveness or understanding from others.
Think I lost my mind
Suggesting a mental break or loss of stability.
Trying to be sane
Struggling to maintain sanity amidst challenges.
Escaping what I worked for
Regret over avoiding what was once pursued.
Has only brought me pain
Recognizing that avoidance led to pain or disappointment.
Your touch has made me see myself and stopped me in my ways
Acknowledging the transformative power of someone's touch.
I don't want the old me
Rejecting the past self and seeking personal growth.
That man is dead
Confirmation of the symbolic death of the old self.
That man is dead
Reiteration of the metaphorical death of the previous identity.
That man is dead
Emphasis on the irreversible nature of personal transformation.
Inside, I knew it was me
A realization of one's true identity.
What a crime for my energy
Reflecting on the consequences of expended energy.
I'm back alive and I reckon
A revival and acknowledgment of being on the brink of ecstasy.
You were the edge of ecstasy
The person was a source of intense pleasure or happiness.
I feel unleashed
A feeling of being liberated or free.
I feel unleashed
Reiteration of the feeling of liberation.
It only takes a person
The impact of an individual in changing your perspective.
To take you of your feet
The influence of someone else on your life, possibly romantically.
I've drifted from depression
Having overcome a period of deep sadness or low mood.
And now I'm out to sea
A metaphor for being adrift in life but now in a better place.
I barely recognise my complexion
Feeling unfamiliar or changed in one's appearance.
Think I lost my mind
Repetition of the idea of losing mental stability.
Trying to be sane
Continuing struggles to maintain a sense of sanity.
Escaping what I worked for
Reiteration of regret for avoiding previous pursuits.
Has only brought me pain
Emphasis on the negative outcomes of avoidance.
Your touch has made me see myself and stopped me in my ways
Recognition of personal growth through self-reflection.
I don't want the old me
Rejecting the undesirable aspects of the past self.
That man is dead
Confirmation of the symbolic death of the old self.
That man is dead
Reiteration of the metaphorical death of the previous identity.
That man is dead
Emphasis on the irreversible nature of personal transformation.
