Running With the Herd
Escape the Herd: Unveiling Life's Silent Scenes
Lyrics
Perils and prizes
Highlighting the risks and rewards
Face you past the crossing roads
Facing decisions at critical points in life
Unglamorous surprises
Unexpected and unglamorous challenges
Troubling your mind's abode
Disturbing thoughts occupying the mind
Half a thousand eyes
Many observers or onlookers
Pay tribute to a pile of ash
Showing respect or homage to a pile of ashes
Wear your glad disguise
Pretending to be happy despite not being asked
Even though nobody asked
Downplaying one's true feelings
Just a minor judgement
A minor judgment of oneself
A simple mind adjustment
Making a simple adjustment in mindset
The architect has lost his mind
The creator or planner has gone astray
A home that he had not designed
A dwelling that wasn't envisioned by its creator
It isn't quite absurd
Not entirely ridiculous or unbelievable
Once you've seen what I have seen
Changing perspective after witnessing certain things
No longer the obscene
No longer morally offensive or indecent
No need to intervene
No need to interfere or become involved
Stop running with the herd
Advice to break away from the crowd
And you'll find yourself disturbed
Resulting in personal disturbance
Somewhere in between
Existing in a state between two extremes
What is heard and what is seen
Considering both auditory and visual perceptions
What a scene
Expressing a vivid or striking situation
Silent contemplation
Quiet reflection and deep thought
Confronting your mortality
Facing the reality of one's mortality
A needless stipulation
An unnecessary requirement or condition
Death was mere formality
Death as a mere formality, possibly trivializing it
Half a thousand eyes
Repetition of the idea of many observers
Pay tribute to a pile of ash
Reiterating homage to ashes, perhaps symbolic
Wear your glad disguise
Continuing to wear a happy facade without being prompted
Even though nobody asked
Not seeking validation or inquiry from others
Just a minor judgement
Another small self-evaluation or assessment
A simple mind adjustment
Adjusting one's mindset in a straightforward manner
The architect has lost his mind
Reiteration of the architect losing control
A home that he had not designed
A dwelling that wasn't intended by its creator
It isn't quite absurd
Emphasizing the not-so-outrageous nature of the situation
Once you've seen what I have seen
Changed perspective after witnessing certain things
No longer the obscene
No longer morally offensive or indecent
No need to intervene
No need to interfere or become involved
Stop running with the herd
Reiteration of breaking away from the crowd
And you'll find yourself disturbed
Resulting in personal disturbance
Somewhere in between
Existing in a state between two extremes
What is heard and what is seen
Considering both auditory and visual perceptions
What a scene
Expressing a vivid or striking situation
What a scene
Reiteration of a vivid or striking situation
