Another Face
Unveiling Shadows: A Journey Through Pain and Reflection in 'Another Face'
Lyrics
You’re not who you say you are
You are not truthful about your identity
There’s something strange about the way you stare
There's something unsettling in the way you gaze
The pain’s so far behind us now
The emotional pain is in the past
We’ve given it up still we don’t know how
We have let go, but the process remains unclear
Is this goodbye now?
Is this a farewell?
Is this not quite what you had dreamed?
Current reality doesn't match past aspirations
When I looked in the shadows all I could see
Shadows reveal the remnants of unfulfilled dreams
Was the fading light of my unfinished dreams
The fading light symbolizes incomplete ambitions
How have I come so far to still feel so far away?
Despite progress, a sense of distance persists
“Is there another face?”
Questioning the existence of an alternate self
So, I try not to listen to their stifled screams
Ignoring suppressed cries
The reflections tend to be now what they seem
Reflections deceive, not reflecting reality
Maybe I’ll just forget and hope they all die away…
Contemplating forgetting, wishing problems away
“Is there another face?”
Questioning the existence of another persona
The pain hits like an opiate
Pain numbs like a drug
My past just slips away in a haze, frame by frame
Memories fade in a hazy manner
Is this really all that’s left of me
Doubting the remnants of one's identity
I pick up the pieces, still I can’t see
Attempting to rebuild, yet clarity eludes
“Who will survive now?”
Uncertain about who will endure
And I’m not sure how they all fit
Confusion about fitting into the situation
When I looked in the shadows all I could see
Shadows reveal the remnants of unfulfilled dreams (repeated)
Was the fading light of my unfinished dreams
The fading light symbolizes incomplete ambitions (repeated)
How have I come so far to still feel so far away?
Despite progress, a sense of distance persists (repeated)
“Is there another face?”
Questioning the existence of an alternate self (repeated)
So, I try not to listen to their stifled screams
Ignoring suppressed cries (repeated)
The reflections tend to be now what they seem
Reflections deceive, not reflecting reality (repeated)
Maybe I’ll just forget and hope they all die away…
Contemplating forgetting, wishing problems away (repeated)
“Is there another face?”
Questioning the existence of another persona (repeated)
In asking ourselves questions to which the answers may surprise us
Posing unexpected questions with surprising answers
In multiple iterations come revelations that may bind us
Revelations in various forms that may unite us
The consequences follow us to the end of time
Consequences persist throughout time
Though it may be a bit confusing which sin is yours, and which is mine
Confusion about distinguishing one's sins from another's
Waiting, on the edge of a storm
Awaiting on the brink of a crisis
All the signs point to nothing
No clear indications point the way
They won’t carry us home
No external guidance to lead us home
Waiting, on the edge of a storm
Awaiting on the brink of a crisis (repeated)
All the signs point to nothing
No clear indications point the way (repeated)
They won’t carry us home
No external guidance to lead us home (repeated)
Waiting, on the edge of a storm
Awaiting on the brink of a crisis (repeated)
And the tempest is coming
The impending chaos is approaching
And we’ll face it alone
Facing the impending turmoil alone
Waiting, on the edge of a storm
Awaiting on the brink of a crisis (repeated)
All the signs point to nothing
No clear indications point the way (repeated)
They won’t carry us home
No external guidance to lead us home (repeated)
