Negative
Act of Denial Lyrics

Hello, hello adrenaline pulse
The start of a new day, filled with excitement and energy

Rise it’s time to wake up
An urging to wake up and seize the day with everything you have

Like a shotgun blast it spreads
The energy of the day rushes through you like the explosion of a gun

There’s no way out
Once the day has begun, you must face it head-on with no way of turning back

At first it seems so simple
The start of the day seems easy and straightforward

At first it seems so right
Everything you do at the start of the day seems like the correct decision

Same patterns I can tell you
Routines that are familiar and comfortable

I know I am missing one
One routine or pattern is missing

Different paths one by one
Instead of following the same routine, different paths are being explored

They’re stuck no holding back
These different paths have become stagnant with no way to move forward

Like a rollercoaster ride
Life is like a rollercoaster, with ups and downs that are chaotic yet exhilarating

Into paralyzing trap
Sometimes the ups and downs of life can leave you trapped and paralyzed with fear

I will be the lifetime wanderer
A commitment to always seek new paths and experiences throughout life

The negation of ones
Refusing to follow the beliefs and opinions of others

Former believes with act of denying
Rejecting the beliefs and opinions that were once held

Rooted deep inside, the longer I give
The more time that passes, the more firmly these new beliefs and opinions take hold

The stronger they become
These new beliefs and opinions become stronger with each passing day

I will remain, I’ll never go away
A commitment to stand firm in these new beliefs and opinions

Negative, they come by night
Negative thoughts and doubts often arise at night, causing fear and uncertainty

Behind curtains of dusk
The end of the day brings with it a veil of darkness and uncertainty

But I am still standing firm and humble
Despite the negative thoughts and doubts, there is still a sense of groundedness and humility

I cover my eyes just to see you in silence
Sometimes in order to truly see something, you must close your eyes and listen in silence

My mind has no fear of you
Once the fear is gone, the mind can focus on what is truly important

I keep your face together with sadness
There is a sense of sadness and longing associated with a person or memory

My soul is stuck in your world
The person or memory is so powerful that it has become intertwined with the soul

What we see in the world is fear
Often times we see only fear in the world around us

Is often nothing but distort illusion
This fear is often an illusion, distorted by our own perceptions

We don’t see ourselves deceived
We fail to recognize that we ourselves are deceived by this distorted illusion

We maintain heart and moral
Despite the fear and illusion, we must hold true to our values and beliefs

Is this my role, my story, story of my life
Questioning if the events of life are predetermined or if we are the authors of our own story

I am gone in this circle
The feeling of being lost and unable to break free from a repeating pattern

Like single straight line
Life seems to be a straight, unchanging path

They’re stuck, no holding back
There is no way to move forward, feeling trapped and stagnant
