Power
Transforming Shame into Strength: Unveiling the Meaning of 'Power'
Lyrics
Do not mistake me for warm embrace
Caution against misinterpreting warmth for genuine care or affection.
If I can't see your hands, I can't distinguish your face
If hands are unseen, facial expressions are indistinguishable, suggesting a lack of transparency.
I have then made a fool
Admission of foolish actions or decisions made in the past.
I have then disgraced
Acknowledgment of having brought shame upon oneself.
I've been trapped in the mirror
Metaphorical reference to being trapped in a reflective surface, possibly symbolizing self-awareness without escape.
Where there is no escape
Highlighting a situation where there seems to be no way out or resolution.
Through years I've learned lessons
Accumulated wisdom gained over time.
And through some I have died
Survival through various challenges, possibly involving personal growth or transformation.
I was made to feel shame
Forced to feel disgrace and guilt.
Made to give up my pride
Compelled to surrender one's dignity or self-respect.
But each brick through the window
Each negative experience can contribute to building resilience or strength.
Can be stacked very high
Challenges or obstacles can accumulate, but they are manageable.
Can restrain the red anger
Metaphorically, obstacles can control or suppress intense emotions like anger and resentment.
And resentment inside
Internal struggles can be restrained and managed.
