Careful On Your Way Out
Navigating Shadows: Unraveling Life's Changes
Lyrics
Have you come to the day when everything changed
Reflecting on a transformative moment when everything in life changed.
All the things you were told all your faith and beliefs
Questioning previously held beliefs and values that were taught.
Black is white and the saints are thieves
Expressing a sense of confusion where conventional notions are reversed.
All the characters stayed the same, but the names had changed
Noting a consistency in people's nature despite changes in names or identities.
They have changed
Emphasizing the actuality of change.
The names have changed
Reiterating the alteration in identities.
So you lick your finger, for the winds direction
Searching for guidance but encountering silence.
But the response is silence, and the day meanders
Describing a day that lacks direction and purpose.
But your eyes are open and your rage wants spoken
Awareness of one's surroundings and a desire to express suppressed anger.
Do you claim it as mine, or hide between the lines?
Contemplating ownership of a situation or choosing to remain ambiguous.
Can you open your eyes, to see their disguise
Encouraging a critical look at hidden intentions or disguises.
When we've all but spoken, I think the words are broken
Expressing frustration when communication seems ineffective.
It's such a beautiful hell, I mean we live so well
Acknowledging the paradox of living well in a seemingly beautiful but challenging existence.
Careful on your way out, careful on your way
Issuing a warning to be cautious when leaving a situation or relationship.
Bad karma for a life of doubt, bad karma for a life of doubt
Anticipating negative consequences for a life filled with uncertainty and skepticism.
Can you turn it around, will your voice be sound
Pondering the possibility of positive change and the impact of one's voice.
Cause I'm over this, so are you coming with?
Expressing a desire to move on from a situation and inviting others to join.
Truth be told, I can't feel old
Claiming an inability to feel old, possibly due to a refusal to conform.
So do you wanna wait, or do you wanna escape?
Asking a choice between waiting or escaping from a current circumstance.
Do you wanna escape?
Reiterating the question of escape.
Escape?
Emphasizing the urgency or significance of escape.
So you give it your best, and you try for the test
Encouraging putting forth one's best effort despite a potentially uninspiring environment.
But their language is boredom, and your mind is so sordid
Highlighting a disconnect between personal interests and the tediousness of societal expectations.
So do you swallow it, or do you sell their shit?
Posing a choice between accepting or rejecting societal norms.
Do you claim it as mine, or hide between the lines?
Repeating the earlier question of claiming a situation or remaining in ambiguity.
