Glow
Message Man Lyrics

Many sparrows to many sparrows, very narrow
There are many thoughts and ideas swirling in my mind, but they often feel limited and confined.

Am I the villain of the story or a fallen hero?
I question whether I am the antagonist or the flawed protagonist in my own life.

Some thoughts intriguing, but some shoot through like an arrow
Certain thoughts captivate me, while others swiftly pass through my mind without leaving a lasting impact.

Got me wondering the composition of my marrow
These thoughts make me ponder the essence of my being and my deepest core.

When I walk the pier I see but can't spot what I seek
As I stroll along the pier, I observe my surroundings, yet I cannot find what I truly desire.

Something inside nagging but what I view seems so bleak
An internal voice persistently bothers me, even though the external world appears dismal and unpromising.

Many mouths sound off, but no one really speaks
People express their opinions and voices, yet genuine communication and meaningful dialogue are lacking.

In this city we feed and nurture, but walk with our hearts that leak
We contribute to the growth and progress of this city, yet deep within our hearts, we feel a sense of vulnerability and emotional turmoil.

Few trees droop, once bloomed, now wilt
Only a small number of trees appear weary and faded, once vibrant and blossoming.

It makes me wonder, warning do not ponder
This observation sparks curiosity within me, but I caution myself not to dwell on it too much.

Should we feel this guilt, a testament to what we built
Is it appropriate to experience guilt considering the consequences of our actions and the things we have constructed?

That sort of idea can kill, warning, do not wander
Exploring such thoughts can be detrimental to our well-being, so I advise against delving too far into them.

Walls up, literally and mentally we stay armed
Both physically and emotionally, we erect barriers and defenses to protect ourselves.

Mugs moving about, these expressions are carved
People go about their daily lives, but their facial expressions reveal the hidden emotions etched within.

How can you long for something you've never known
Is it possible to desire and yearn for something completely unfamiliar to us?

These bones and tissues born scarred and starved
We are born with physical and emotional wounds, deprived of nourishment and fulfillment.

I'm scared that eyes watching me
I fear the scrutiny and judgment of those observing me.

Can see that I'm cooking up theories
They can perceive that I am concocting ideas and hypotheses.

This idea that they brainwashed, this image
I entertain the notion that they have manipulated my thoughts and perceptions, shaping my identity.

My destiny, clemency and my privilege
I ponder the notion of destiny, forgiveness, and the advantages bestowed upon me.

I want to glow but I do not know
I desire to radiate with brightness and positivity, yet I am uncertain of how to achieve it.

What they will say, we all stay low
I wonder how others will react and respond, so we collectively remain hidden and insignificant.

That's why we all live in shadow
This is why we exist in obscurity and concealment, avoiding the spotlight.

But how will I know if I never do go?
However, how can I truly understand if I never take a step forward and explore beyond my comfort zone?

Who do I trust when open mouths turn to dust
In a world where promises and words hold little value, it becomes challenging to determine who is trustworthy.

I want to try, but don't turn a blind eye
I yearn to make an effort, but I refuse to ignore the truth or deceive myself.

Most often these hidden motives underlie
Frequently, there are ulterior motives concealed beneath the surface.

Often that's the reason we disguise and comply
This often explains our inclination to conceal our true selves and conform to expectations.

Maybe those rays of sunshine clear minds
Perhaps the illuminating rays of sunshine can bring clarity and peace of mind.

Maybe if I go outside I'll see clear signs
If I venture beyond my usual surroundings, I might witness unmistakable indications and revelations.

Maybe there lies something under your canopy
Possibly, there exists something significant and transformative within your realm of influence.

But it's hard to see if I sit in here anxiously
However, it becomes difficult to perceive those opportunities if I remain confined and consumed by anxiety.

Or maybe there's people awaiting like a cavalry
Alternatively, there might be individuals eagerly waiting and ready to provide support and assistance.

Waiting with crazed jaws, famished for my flaws
They await hungrily, yearning to pounce on any weaknesses or imperfections I possess.

Ready with drawn claws from big paws
Prepared to strike with sharp claws and fierce determination, emerging from positions of power and influence.

No alchemy, you're always gnawing, but I sit here absently
There is no magical transformation; you continually chip away at my resolve, while I remain passive and uninvolved.

Bone dry but no blue sky
Emotionally parched, devoid of vitality and hope.

Right to die in my Minds eye
The belief that I possess the choice to embrace death within the depths of my imagination.

But it never sleeps, no it never dies
However, this underlying struggle and turmoil within me persist indefinitely.

It's do or die, please stand by
It is a critical situation where I must take action or face the consequences, so I request for support and readiness.

Wanna, wanna go back
I yearn to return to a previous state or situation.

Back, back to the habitat
To retreat and find solace in a familiar environment.

With blooms that aren't shades of black
Surrounded by vibrant and hopeful elements that are not tainted by darkness or despair.

Who do I trust when open mouths turn to dust
In a world where promises and words hold little value, it becomes challenging to determine who is trustworthy.

I want to try, but don't turn a blind eye
I yearn to make an effort, but I refuse to ignore the truth or deceive myself.

However, how can I truly understand if I never take a step forward and explore beyond my comfort zone?

But I don't glow
I lack the radiance and vibrancy that I desire.

I just wanna know what it's like to glow
All I yearn for is a taste of the brightness and positivity that comes from radiating light.

But I don't glow
I lack the radiance and vibrancy that I desire.

I just wanna know what it's like to glow
All I yearn for is a taste of the brightness and positivity that comes from radiating light.

But I wanna know that
However, I still yearn to understand.

Wanna, wanna go back
I desire to return to a previous state or situation.
