A Taller Friend
In the Shadow of Lost Love: A Taller Friend's Reflection
Lyrics
I won't stand inside
I refuse to conform
To be alive
To truly live
I won't sell my soul
I won't compromise my integrity
My love has died
My love or passion has withered
I try to live in light
I strive to embrace positivity
To be alive
To genuinely experience life
I might sell my soul and see their eyes
I might consider compromising my values and face judgment
It goes and goes and goes and goes it's in my head
Repetition of thoughts and struggles in my mind
My love has died
Reiteration of the loss of love or passion
I strain my eyes
I put effort into understanding or finding meaning
To see a sign
Searching for a sign or guidance
I won't find a path far to hide my soul away from them
I won't take an easy route to conceal my true self
It goes and goes and goes and goes it's in my head
Continued struggle and repetition in my thoughts
My love has died
Reiteration of the emotional pain or loss
And I live in a shadow
I exist in the overshadowing influence
Of a taller and smarter friend
Comparing oneself to a superior and more intelligent friend
And I live in a shadow
Ongoing existence in the shadow, fading away
As I fade away again
Continued fading and retreat
And I live in a shadow
Persistent existence in someone else's shadow
And I strain my eyes (And I)
Straining to perceive or understand
To see a sign (Won't stand inside, to be alive)
Searching for meaning and refusing conformity
I won't find a path far to hide my soul away from them (I won't sell my soul)
Avoiding an easy path to hide one's true self
It goes and goes and goes and goes it's in my head
Continued repetitive thoughts and struggles
My love has died
Reiteration of the emotional pain or loss
And the sun lies to me
The sun deceives with false praise
Saying there's no finer man
False flattery, denying one's worth
And the sun lies to me
Continued deception by the sun, blinding truth
As it blinds my face again
Blinding deception persists
And they lie
Ongoing falsehoods
