Lyrics
Open the door
Expressing a desire to open up or start something new
Need rest for my soul
Seeking rejuvenation or comfort for the speaker's inner self
It's been a long and lonely winter
Describing a prolonged and isolating period of time
And I'm running from the cold
Trying to escape difficulties or challenges
Now am I reaching out
Questioning whether the speaker is reaching out externally or introspectively searching
Or am I searching within
Exploring the internal search for meaning or purpose
Am I learning from mistakes
Reflecting on past errors and contemplating the nature of learning
Or am I learning how to sin
Considering whether the speaker is acquiring knowledge or engaging in morally questionable actions
Voices echo down the mountain
Describing distant voices or influences coming from a higher place
Wish I could distinguish the words
Expressing difficulty in understanding or making sense of these influences
I know I'm supposed to let these things guide me
Acknowledging a need to follow guidance, but struggling to do so
But lately all I do is make it worse
Admitting that recent actions have not improved the situation
Defective
Suggesting a perception of being flawed or imperfect
That's what some may say
Addressing potential criticism or negative opinions from others
I'd expose my beating heart
Offering vulnerability by exposing the speaker's true emotions
To prove I'm not this way
Asserting that the speaker is not defined by perceived flaws
Sometimes the lessons
Acknowledging that life lessons are not always clear or straightforward
Ain't so plain to see
Expressing a desire for clarity and humility
So fix my eyes and kill my pride
Recognizing the need to focus and overcome personal pride
To quiet fear in me
Seeking inner peace by suppressing fear
Voices echo down the mountain
Repetition of voices from a higher source, indicating their persistent influence
Wish I could distinguish the words
Reiterating the difficulty in understanding or deciphering these influences
I know I'm supposed to let these things guide me
Reemphasizing the struggle to follow the suggested guidance
But lately all I do is make it worse
Admitting that recent efforts have not led to improvement
Make it worse
Reiterating the negative impact of recent actions
