Blood Diamond
Blood Diamond Unveiled: A Struggle for Perfection
Lyrics
What am I?
Questioning identity and existence.
Change me, shame me
Asking for change and feeling ashamed.
tell me what I should be
Seeking guidance on what to become.
Is this the only way to make it, make it
Questioning if conforming is the sole path to success.
And I should know
Understanding or recognizing something.
you put your pressure on me
Feeling pressured by external forces.
To remove my flaws
Expectation to eliminate imperfections.
you think that this way I'll be
Belief that perfection will meet expectations.
perfect in your eyes
Striving for flawlessness in the eyes of others.
So shape me and change me
Openness to change and shaping.
I'm a blood diamond
Self-identifying as a metaphorical 'blood diamond'—a product of conflict and suffering.
The product of your rage
Being a result of someone else's anger or hostility.
I'm a blood diamond
Reiteration of being a 'blood diamond,' expressing regret or sorrow.
It's a shame such a shame
Expressing sadness or disappointment in this state of being.
Yeah a blood diamond was made
Confirmation of existence as a 'blood diamond.'
But the value never exceeds the price I paid
Emphasizing that despite being valuable, the cost paid (suffering) exceeds the value.
The value never exceeds the price I paid
Reiteration that the price paid surpasses the worth.
The price I paid
Reaffirmation of the suffering endured.
Hate me, change me
Desire for change amid dislike or hostility.
Tell me what I should be
Seeking direction or guidance for transformation.
Is this the only way to make it
Querying if conforming is the sole path to success.
You put your pressure on me
Feeling pressured by external forces to change.
To remove my flaws
Expectation to eliminate imperfections due to pressure.
You say, true diamond are made this way
Belief that this process creates true diamonds.
I'm a blood diamond
Reiteration of being a 'blood diamond' due to external influence.
The product of your rage
Resulting from someone else's anger or hostility.
I'm a blood diamond
Repeated expression of regret or sorrow in this state.
It's a shame such a shame
Re-emphasis of sadness or disappointment.
Yeah a blood diamond was made
Confirmation of existence as a 'blood diamond.'
But the value never exceeds the price I paid
Stating the excessive cost (suffering) over value yet again.
The value never exceeds the price
Reiteration that the cost paid surpasses the worth.
Even diamonds can break by pressure
Even valuable things can break under immense pressure.
Even diamonds can be flawed
Recognition that even valuable things can have imperfections.
We're all diamonds we're shaped by pressure
Acknowledgment that everyone is shaped by life's pressures.
But now it's time to move on
Realization that it's time to progress from this state.
Even diamonds can break by pressure
Reiteration that even valuable things can break under immense pressure.
Even diamonds can be flawed
Recognition that even valuable things can have imperfections.
We're all diamonds we're shaped by pressure
Acknowledgment that everyone is shaped by life's pressures.
But now it's time to move on
Realization that it's time to progress from this state.
Even diamonds can break by pressure
Reiteration that even valuable things can break under immense pressure.
Even diamonds can be flawed
Recognition that even valuable things can have imperfections.
We're all diamonds we're shaped by pressure
Acknowledgment that everyone is shaped by life's pressures.
And now it's time to move on
Strong affirmation that it's time to progress from this state.
We're all diamonds
Unity in acknowledging everyone's inherent value despite flaws.
We're all diamonds
Reiteration of the inherent value despite imperfections.
