Lost in Desire
Unveiling the Maze: Tony Creek's Reflection on Society's Desires
Lyrics
A human race
A reflection on the collective human experience
Lost in desire
The human race is entangled in the pursuit of desires
Often misplaced
Desires are often directed in the wrong or misguided ways
With paranoia
Accompanied by feelings of paranoia
On their way
In the journey of life
To Babylonia
Heading towards Babylonia, symbolizing a complex or confusing destination
Got to rest far west
Need to find rest, possibly representing a quest for peace or fulfillment
In California
In California, suggesting a specific location or state of mind for rest
It surrounds us
Desire surrounds and influences people
It misguides us
Desire can lead people astray or cause confusion
Don't you worry my darling, no
An assurance not to worry despite the challenges
The mask is up
A metaphorical mask, influenced by media pressure
By media pressure
Media exerts pressure, influencing behavior
Better fake it
Suggests pretending is preferable to revealing one's true self
Then show your treasures
Choosing to hide instead of showcasing one's valuable qualities
The beauty is there
True beauty exists in superficial or shallow aspects
In shallow waters
Metaphor for a lack of depth in understanding
All of these people
People follow orders without questioning
Accepting orders
Conformity to societal expectations
It surrounds us
Desire continues to influence and misguide
It misguides us
Reiteration of the negative impact of desire
Don't you worry my darling, no
Repeated assurance not to worry despite challenges
Don't be afraid
An encouragement to express personal visions
To share your vision
Overcoming fear to share one's unique perspective
You were born
Birthright of having personal decisions
With your decision
The importance of individual choices
To be free
To be truly liberated
Is to thread the needle
Symbolic act of navigating challenges with precision
To move at the fast lane
Choosing a fast-paced, decisive approach to life
To be a hero
An aspiration to be a hero, possibly in the face of adversity
