Smoke and Mirrors
Resilience Unveiled: Navigating Struggles in 'Smoke and Mirrors'
Lyrics
If you give up on me, then I give up on everything
If you abandon me, I will lose faith in everything.
I didn't come this far to not tell you the truth
I have come a long way to be honest with you.
And you'll know it's true because the answers that I tell you will make you all feel sick
The truth I share may be uncomfortable, making you feel sick.
Feel hateful, feel useless and used, just remember that every piece of trash
Despite feeling hateful and used, remember that everyone has value.
Was one time itself first used
Even something discarded as trash was once useful.
Say the word
Express your decision or command.
Say the word and I will go quickly to a light
If you command, I will swiftly move towards a positive outcome.
Too much of anyone one thing at a time will leave you blind
Excessive focus on one thing at a time can lead to blindness.
Say the word and I will go quickly to a light
Similar to line 9, expressing readiness to move towards positivity.
Too much of anyone one thing at a time just left me blind
Reflecting on personal experience of being blinded by excessive focus.
You need to get through what you are going through
Encouragement to persevere through challenges.
Some day someone, somewhere will need you
Assurance that someone will need and appreciate you in the future.
If you give up on me, then I give up on everything
Reiteration of the consequences of abandonment.
Back and forth my reason grows, I didn't choose this I was chose
Describing the internal struggle and lack of choice in a difficult situation.
Back and forth my reason grows, I didn't choose this and I want to go
Expressing a desire to break free from the imposed situation.
Home is where the hurt is and no one even knows
Suggesting that home is a place of pain hidden from others.
Say the word and I will go quickly to a light
Reiteration of readiness to move towards positivity.
Too much of anyone one thing at a time will leave you blind
Warning about the negative consequences of excessive focus.
Say the word and I will go quickly to a light
Similar to line 21, expressing willingness to overcome challenges.
Too much of anyone one thing at a time just left me blind
Reflecting on personal experience of being negatively affected by focus.
If you give up on me then I give up on everything
A repetition of the impact of abandonment on faith and determination.
If you give up on me then I give up on everything
A repetition emphasizing the high stakes of giving up.
