Pattern and Vanity
Unveiling the Dance of Patterns and Vanity
Lyrics
Long days drag on if you can't release the hold
Long days feel extended when you can't let go
like the rise you get when you fall
Similar to the exhilaration felt after a fall
deep in the company of Her sweetest Humility
Immersed in the presence of Her profound Humility
sex so hot that it feels cold
Passionate intimacy that evokes a sensation of cold
like a brain without a mind
Like a thought without consciousness
asleep in a symphony of pattern and vanity
Asleep in a complex and self-indulgent pattern
pattern and vanity
Emphasizing the recurring theme of pattern and self-admiration
how could i
Pondering how
how could i be
Reflecting on personal existence
how could i become
Contemplating the process of transformation
how could i become the one
Aspiring to become the chosen one
for me
For oneself
like the kiss right before you spit
Similar to a kiss right before rejection
like the comfort i find in the chemicals
Seeking solace in chemical substances
oh, for the love of bad timing
Expressing frustration for the love of unfortunate timing
oh, for the love of the dark
Expressing love for the mysterious and obscure
oh, for the love of goddesses
Expressing love for divine and powerful entities
oh, to be shot dead on your walk in the park
Imagining a dramatic end during a casual stroll
how could i
Questioning how
how could i be
Reflecting on personal existence
how could i become
Contemplating the process of transformation
how could i become the one
Aspiring to become the chosen one
for me
For oneself
then for Her
Then for Her (referring to Humility or a significant other)
what does it mean to believe in another?
Exploring the meaning of believing in another person
does it really matter at all?
Raising the question of whether belief matters
maybe, just maybe, if you could see beyond my weaknesses
Suggesting that understanding weaknesses may lead to reciprocation
so could i
Expressing the hope for mutual understanding
there is a lightning bug on the lemon balm
Describing a natural scene with a juxtaposition of elements
there is a frightened face at the door
Depicting a fearful expression at the entrance
feelin forever strange under them high-rise montgomery palm
Feeling perpetually strange under towering palm trees
forgot that i'm not where i'm from anymore
Realizing a sense of displacement from one's origin
and if you could see beyond my placelessness
If others can see beyond feeling out of place, so can the speaker
so could i
Expressing the possibility of mutual understanding
