Gloria
Euphoric Revelations: Unveiling Life's Ambiguities in 'Gloria'
Lyrics
Open-eyed oversight led me to here
Starting with a realization due to careful observation
Looking for an avenue to simply appear
Searching for a way to be noticed or recognized
One too many steps into the wrong direction
Making several wrong moves or choices
Leading me to throw up my hands
Resulting in a feeling of giving up or surrendering
Soon I'll know exactly where I stand
Anticipating clarity about one's situation
Found in a flood of incendiary plans
Discovered amid intense and explosive plans
Oh, I've been falling fast into the rhythms without rhymes
Rapidly embracing experiences without structure or order
I won't be giving up again; yeah, I'll be getting up again
Determined not to quit, ready to stand up again
I heard a voice it said 'e dolore mangia gloria'
Heard a message in another language suggesting enduring pain for glory
Bring me your heart and then
Offering one's heart in exchange for a euphoric awakening
You will awake in a state of surprising euphoria
Expecting an astonishing state of happiness
But don't tell anyone
Advising against revealing this experience to others
I wasn't wrong to fend their ambiguity
Recognizing the necessity to defend against unclear intentions
Then I learned to turn emotions into weaponry
Learning to use feelings as a means of defense
One too many words said with the wrong inflection
Speaking words with unintended implications or meanings
Leading me to throw up my hands
Resulting in a feeling of giving up or surrendering
Am I giving up the ghost again?
Questioning if giving up is happening again
Surrendering so that my evils will amend
Yielding to allow personal wrongdoings to be corrected
Oh, I've been falling fast into the space between the lines
Falling rapidly into uncertainty between defined boundaries
I'll be getting up again; I won't be giving up again
Determined to stand up again without quitting
I heard a voice it said 'e dolore mangia gloria'
Reiteration of the message about enduring pain for glory
Bring me your heart and then
Asking for one's heart in exchange for a euphoric awakening
You will awake in a state of surprising euphoria
Expecting an amazing state of happiness but advising secrecy
But don't tell anyone what you saw here
Strict warning not to disclose what was experienced
Now I never heard that sound before
Experiencing something completely new
I am nothing but an infant wave stuck in a savage ocean
Feeling insignificant in a turbulent and aggressive environment
Soon I'll know exactly where I stand
Expecting clarity about one's situation
Found in a flood of incendiary plans
Discovered amid intense and explosive plans
Oh, I've been falling fast into the space between the lines
Falling rapidly into uncertainty between defined boundaries
I'll be getting up again; I won't be giving up again
Determined to stand up again without quitting
I heard a voice it said 'e dolore mangia gloria'
Reiteration of enduring pain for glory
Bring me your heart and then
Asking for one's heart in exchange for a euphoric awakening
You will awake in a state of surprising euphoria
Expecting an amazing state of happiness but advising secrecy
Don't fear the words that I say
Encouragement to not be afraid of spoken words
I heard a voice it said 'e dolore mangia gloria'
Reiteration of enduring pain for glory
Bring me your heart and then
Asking for one's heart in exchange for a euphoric awakening
You will awake in a state of surprising euphoria
Expecting an amazing state of happiness but advising secrecy
But don't tell anyone what you saw here
Strict warning not to disclose what was experienced
