Lyrics

Some say a trick, some say a look

There are different perspectives on a situation, some see it as a trick, others as a look.

It's just a way of thinking after all

It's a mindset or way of thinking in the end.

From underneath something concrete

Refers to something solid or real that may be concealed or not immediately apparent.

It's just a way of coping with it all

It's a coping mechanism for dealing with life's challenges.

Some with revolt, some will obey

People react differently - some rebel, some conform.

Who attains perfection and who's to say

Questions who can achieve perfection and who has the authority to judge.

A criminal, a cardinal

Contrasts a criminal with a cardinal (high-ranking church official) - both fear angels.

Both frightened of angels

Indicates fear, possibly of divine judgment.

It doesn't mean much now

Past actions may not have significance now.

It's built for the future

Despite past actions, the present is designed for the future.


For some a walk, to some a dance

Walking or dancing symbolizes different approaches to life.

It's just a form of motion one and all

Motion, regardless of form, is a universal experience.

Without dispute the least aware

Some are less aware and may witness the irrational actions of a fool.

Will no doubt see the ragings of a fool

Emphasizes the likelihood of witnessing foolish behavior.

First we look then we spy

Observation precedes scrutiny.

The man who has a vision wants it all

A person with a vision desires everything.

A sin so clean rule supreme

Suggests a paradoxical concept - a sin that appears pure holds supreme authority.

The power to undermine

The ability to subvert or weaken holds great power.

It doesn't mean much now

Past actions may not have significance now.

It's built for the future

The present is designed for the future.


First a glance, then a chance

Emphasizes the progression from looking to taking a chance.

To make a simple gesture worth it all

A simple gesture can be meaningful.

A conquer all, a desert stall

Refers to overcoming challenges and providing comfort to others.

That serves a drink to people under sun

Describes a place that caters to people under the sun.

At last the place, now where's the time

Questions the availability of time to consider various perspectives.

To take in all the other points of view

Suggests the importance of considering different points of view.

Some are inert but one exists

Some are inactive, but one is active in building bridges.

To build a bridge

Building bridges metaphorically represents creating connections and understanding.

It doesn't mean much now

Past actions may not have significance now.

It's built for the future

The present is designed for the future.
