Promises
Echoes of Deception: Unraveling the Intricate Dance of Promises
Lyrics
Given time it'll bleed you
Given time will have a draining effect on you
Dry you out from inside
It will desiccate you internally
Empty promise to please you
A promise without substance meant to satisfy you
Then it eats you alive
Eventually, it consumes you emotionally or spiritually
This uncontrollable call it needs you
This irresistible urge or desire requires your attention
Is it all in your head
Questioning if it's a product of your imagination
Careful just where it leads you
Caution is advised in following this urge
We might be feeding the dead
Suggesting actions may contribute to a negative outcome or support something lifeless
Never be like the first time
Subsequent experiences won't be as impactful as the first
Always running in place
Stuck in a repetitive cycle, making no progress
Chasing tails on a rewind
Pursuing things that have already happened
Is it all just a game
Questioning the meaningfulness of it all, wondering if it's just a game
But something deep in your bones it pleads too
Deep inner instincts guide a decision already made
Choice is already made
Emphasizing the lack of choice due to prior decisions
Yeah when your heart it deceives you
Deception by one's own heart, with no one else to blame
And there's no one to blame
Highlighting personal responsibility
Control
Reference to the theme of control
Just for the venture
Control pursued merely for the sake of exploration
Maybe the pressure
Possibly feeling the weight of expectations
Experimenting just to fill this hole
Engaging in activities to fill an emotional void
And we continue
Continuing a journey or process
And we return
Returning to familiar patterns or situations
Illuminating all the ways to go
Clarifying various paths forward
Given time it'll bleed you
Reiteration of the draining effect of time
Dry you out from inside
Reiterating the internal desiccation caused by time
Empty promise to please you
Repetition of an empty promise leading to consumption
Then it eats you alive
Reiterating the devouring nature of empty promises
This uncontrollable call it needs you
Reiteration of an irresistible, uncontrollable call
Is it all in your head
Repetition of questioning if it's a product of imagination
Careful just where it leads you
Reiterating the need for caution in following the call
We might be feeding the dead
Repeating the idea of actions possibly supporting something lifeless
Yeah
Expression of acknowledgment or agreement
Control
Reiteration of the theme of control
Just for the venture
Repetition of control pursued for exploration
Maybe the pressure
Reiteration of feeling pressured, possibly by external factors
Experimenting just to fill this hole
Repeating the idea of experimenting to fill an emotional void
And we continue
Continuation of the journey or process
And we return
Repeating the idea of returning to familiar patterns or situations
Illuminating all the ways to go
Reiteration of illuminating various paths forward
