Rising Up from the Ashes
Phoenix Truth: Embracing Freedom Beyond Deceit
Lyrics
Just when you thought
Introduction to a moment of realization or change.
That you had it all worked out
Suggesting a prior sense of understanding or control.
You will be the last one
You will be the last to comprehend the situation.
To figure it out
Emphasizing a delayed awareness or realization.
Then you will see
Highlighting the process of gaining insight.
That in order to be free
Freedom requires a genuine understanding.
We just don't want to fake it
Authenticity is preferred over deception or pretense.
Anymore
No longer willing to pretend or deceive.
It doesn't seem to add up
An observation that things don't make logical sense.
And nothing seems to matter
A sense of apathy or insignificance in the grand scheme.
You've outgrown all the anger
Outgrowing negative emotions like anger.
You know that it's not the answer
Acknowledging that anger is not a solution.
Rising up from the ashes
Symbolic rebirth or renewal after a challenging experience.
You know we never meant to burn
Expressing an unintended consequence of previous actions.
Rising up from the ashes
Continuation of the theme of renewal and overcoming.
We don't want to answer
Rejecting the responsibility to explain to a confused generation.
To a mixed up generation
Anticipating division rather than unity.
There'll only be separating
Suggesting a consequence of burning bridges or making mistakes.
And if we burn
The potential outcome if mistakes are repeated.
Then what have we learned
Rhetorical question on the value of the experience.
