Blacklight
Unveiling Shadows: Thomas Owen's Blacklight Revelation
Lyrics
You run away from the sunlight
You avoid exposure to positive aspects or situations.
You hide yourself beneath the earth
You conceal yourself, possibly avoiding reality or challenges.
You spend some time with the mayflies
You spend time with short-lived creatures, perhaps emphasizing fleeting experiences.
You get to know all the worms
You become familiar with mundane or lesser-known aspects of life.
The teeth are fake, they're way too white
Fake appearances, possibly referring to insincerity or artificiality, especially in a literal or metaphorical sense.
They're shinier than pearls
The artificial teeth are overly bright, emphasizing their unnatural quality.
And no, I don't need no blacklight
You don't need an ultraviolet light to reveal hidden truths or secrets.
You see the money you're worth
You realize your own value or worth, possibly in a financial context.
And I've been trying to show you the sun
An attempt to expose someone to positivity or enlightenment.
You keep smiling, thinking that you've won
Despite attempts to share positivity, the person remains confident in their perceived victory.
A band of thieves sticks together until they get spread too thin
A metaphorical statement about the loyalty of a group, suggesting that unity can dissolve when stretched too thin.
The hand that feeds ain't no better, even the king plays pretend
The one providing sustenance or support may not be morally superior, and even leaders can pretend or deceive.
I've been trying to show you the sun
Reiteration of the attempt to expose someone to positivity or enlightenment.
You keep smiling, thinking that you've won
Despite efforts, the person remains confident in their perceived victory.
Open your eyes, man, you gotta look up
An encouragement to broaden one's perspective and be aware of the surroundings.
I swear to God you won't go blind
An assurance that facing reality won't harm you; a call to open one's eyes to the truth.
But boy, you ain't seen enough
Suggesting that the person lacks sufficient life experience or exposure to different perspectives.
And I've been trying to show you the sun
Reiteration of the attempt to expose someone to positivity or enlightenment.
You keep smiling, thinking that you've won
Despite efforts, the person remains confident in their perceived victory.
