After the Lie
Unveiling Life's Hidden Meaning through 'After the Lie' Revelations
Lyrics
For a while I could not lose this childhood spectre,
Reflecting on a lingering childhood influence or memory.
I felt others saw it too.
Feeling that others also perceive this childhood spectre.
Now I notice a change in the way that people look at me,
Noticing a change in how people perceive the speaker.
And how those people look to me.
Observing how people seek guidance or approval from the speaker.
I see they're not so clever, I like them better for it too.
Realizing that others are not as intelligent, but appreciating them more for it.
And one still more.
Reference to another person or realization.
For now I see more clearly
Gaining clearer insight into various aspects of life.
Many things that passed me by.
Perceiving things that were previously overlooked or misunderstood.
Like Paul the visionary,
Comparing someone to Paul, a visionary, and acknowledging a change in perception.
I see things in a different light.
Viewing things differently, akin to a visionary perspective.
For now I know what course to take.
Finding a clear direction or purpose in life.
Now at last I find a meaning in scenes of life
Discovering meaning in previously confusing life situations.
That made no sense to me before.
Understanding and making sense of complex scientific knowledge.
And the complicated structures of scientific knowledge
Acknowledging newfound simplicity in once-perceived mad scientific structures.
Once just mad, they seem so simple now.
A person known since childhood gaining new significance.
And one I've known since childhood, she has new meaning for me too
Expressing the positive impact of these realizations.
These things are good.
Reiterating the benefit of seeing things more clearly.
For now I see more clearly
Reaffirming the increased clarity in understanding various aspects of life.
Many things that passed me by.
Recalling the visionary perspective of Paul and applying it to one's own vision.
Like Paul the visionary,
Viewing things differently, inspired by Paul's visionary outlook.
I see things in a different light.
Embracing a new light or perspective on life.
