Flesh and Blood, Bone and Dream
Embracing Shadows: A Journey of Self-Acceptance in Flesh and Blood
Lyrics
Here, like skeletons we lived
Living in a state of emotional bareness or vulnerability.
Rose-tinted skin covers a slight frame
The fragile appearance is covered by a distorted optimistic view.
Like a blanket that is too small to fit us both
A metaphor for inadequate emotional support.
Rot lays its roots into my body and mind
The decay of negative influences affecting both body and mind.
I spit in the face of my reflection
Expressing defiance towards one's own image.
But it just won't look back and see the pain I've caused
The reflection doesn't acknowledge the pain inflicted.
This is a pure lesson in self-acceptance
Learning to accept oneself despite flaws and mistakes.
Fear is only temporal
Fear is temporary and transient.
And I could never see this through for you
Unable to endure challenges for someone else.
And I admit that this is bigger than me
Acknowledging the magnitude of personal struggles.
This is something beautiful
Finding beauty in confronting inner fears and pain.
The fear of pain and growing towards the person who I'm supposed to be
Fear of growth and the journey towards self-discovery.
And I reach towards the sky
Reaching for aspirations or a better future.
How could I forget?
Realizing a crucial memory or truth.
(Realizing the nature of reality, we only experience a tiny fragment of actual reality)
A reflection on the limited perception of reality.
How could I forget?
Reiterating the impact of forgetfulness.
(It's all filtered through our lens, it changes constantly too)
Highlighting the subjective nature of perception.
How could I forget?
Emphasizing the struggle to retain awareness.
(Knowing that gives me a feeling of peace that
Peace derived from the understanding of personal reality-shaping ability.
I have the power to change my reality at any moment)
Empowerment through the realization of the ability to change reality.
How could I forget?
Questioning the ease of forgetting important truths.
(By changing my perception or simply by looking around or listening)
Suggesting ways to alter perception and regain awareness.
