Cathartik Reflections: Embracing Change and Confronting Shadows
Lyrics
Try to change
Expressing an intention or effort to change
I never wanted to be a simple man
Rejecting the desire to lead a simple and ordinary life
I'd rahter live all my days as a lion, than a thousand as a lamb
Preferring a bold and powerful existence (lion) over a timid one (lamb)
I only wanted to see, what would happen to me
Curiosity about the consequences of following a certain path
If I followed the road that leads to the palace we all seek
Exploring the journey towards a desired but challenging destination (the palace)
Did you come here lamenting what you missed
Questioning if someone arrived with regrets for missed opportunities
Overcome and seduced by this the beautiful abyss
Being overwhelmed and captivated by a beautiful but potentially dangerous experience
What did you come here to see, what are you trying to be
Asking about the purpose or identity one is striving for
You're like a shadow that swallows life
Comparing someone to a consuming and dark force (shadow)
Now you're crawling over me
Describing a person's presence as overpowering or intrusive
The time's come again, it's nearing the end
Indicating a recurring time of change or transformation
But I feel no shame, do you feel the same
Expressing a lack of shame despite approaching the end
Because I know I'll be alright, if I make it through tonight
Conveying confidence in overcoming challenges and making it through a difficult situation
Well I swear I'll try to change, once again
Pledging a commitment to try and change once more
Innocence is a face that always lies
Portraying innocence as deceptive or misleading
Innocence is a wish for some, but it's something I can't buy
Highlighting the unattainable nature of innocence for some, contrasting personal inability to attain it
What are you trying to prove, so many mountains to move
Questioning the motivation behind someone's actions and the challenges they face
And all your demons are heaven sent
Describing personal struggles as inner demons with a suggestion of divine origin
My lost cathartik friend
Referring to a friend who finds release or purification through intense emotional experiences
