Sketches From A Motionless Statue
Textures Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is nothing to stand for
Reach out, our minds combined
Bonded by thoughts.
Here is the secret world
We are the same way
Keep it off your side
Waking up and see the dance around
Of a broken harmony
They are feeding off the winters
In our heads
Can't make us wondering
For everything is much the same
We are still being tied by.
Shame, like fighting underwater
Motionless, for we all know
We all shall burn, heavenless.
Blame me for every
Lacerated actions and efforts.
Manage the endeavour
I pledge the open source
Conduct the overlapping
Elements of time.
Waking the yesterdays
Wading through the mind
Waiting to escape the drifted sands.
Breathe, the open wounds
That is what it feeds
Statement to the old remorse
Consolate, eat the flesh
I can't take
What will be the link.
Breathe, the open source
That is what it greeds
Statement to the old remorse
Contrition, harsh regret
I can't take
What will be the link.
Waking the yesterdays
Wading through the mind
Waiting to escape the drifted sands.
Break the chain.
Elevation of the sewers
The waking of the waters
The heritage from the fathers
To their daughters to renew us.
We are disciples
We live our own way
We are persuaders
Defend our own space.
Here is the secret world
We are the same way
Keep it in your mind
We are the same way.
The first verse of Textures' "Sketches From A Motionless Statue" suggests that sometimes we may feel lost and unsure of what we stand for. We might feel disconnected from the world around us, but the lyrics encourage reaching out and combining our minds to find a sense of interconnectedness. The lines "Here is the secret world / We are the same way" emphasize the idea that we all share similar experiences and struggles.
The second verse speaks to the chaos that can consume our minds, with lyrics like "Waking up and see the dance around / Of a broken harmony / They are feeding off the winters / In our heads." The singer acknowledges that life can feel overwhelming and confusing, but they try to find a way to cope and persevere. The repeated phrase "We are the same way" emphasizes that even when we feel alone in our struggles, others are going through similar experiences. The chorus includes the lines "Shame, like fighting underwater / Motionless, for we all know / We all shall burn, heavenless," which suggest that shame and struggle can feel suffocating and unchanging.
The third verse includes the lines "Manage the endeavour / I pledge the open source / Conduct the overlapping / Elements of time," which suggest a sense of agency and control in the midst of chaos. The lines "Waiting to escape the drifted sands" express a longing to find peace or escape from the challenges of life. The final lines of the song, "We are disciples / We live our own way / We are persuaders / Defend our own space," suggest a sense of individuality and even defiance in the face of adversity.
Overall, the lyrics of "Sketches From A Motionless Statue" touch on themes of struggle, interconnectedness, and perseverance. The repeated refrain of "We are the same way" emphasizes the idea that despite our unique experiences, we share common struggles and can find strength in each other.

Can a man stop to realize
Is it possible for a person to take a moment to understand
There is nothing to stand for
That there may be no true purpose in life
Reach out, our minds combined
To connect through thought
Bonded by thoughts.
Joined by shared ideas
Here is the secret world
This is a hidden realm
We are the same way
We all share similarities
Keep it off your side
Don't let it affect you too much
Waking up and see the dance around
Opening your eyes to observe the chaos
Of a broken harmony
In the discordant rhythm
They are feeding off the winters
Some are thriving during difficult times
In our heads
Inside of our own minds
Can't make us wondering
Not causing us any confusion
For everything is much the same
Because things remain relatively unchanged
We are still being tied by.
We are still bound by something
Shame, like fighting underwater
The feeling of shame can be an uphill struggle
Motionless, for we all know
Stagnant, as is commonly understood
We all shall burn, heavenless.
We will eventually all perish without salvation
Blame me for every
Hold me accountable for every
Lacerated actions and efforts.
The harm caused by my actions and attempts
Manage the endeavor
To control the task
I pledge the open source
I make a commitment to an accessible resource
Conduct the overlapping
To manage the overlapping areas
Elements of time.
Aspects of time
Waking the yesterdays
Rousing past memories
Wading through the mind
Navigating through thoughts and emotions
Waiting to escape the drifted sands.
Yearning to be liberated from stagnation
Breathe, the open wounds
Inhale, the exposed injuries
That is what it feeds
That is what nourishes it
Statement to the old remorse
Acknowledgment of past regret
Consolate, eat the flesh
Console yourself by indulging harmful desires
I can't take
I can't handle
What will be the link.
What will bring everything together
Breathe, the open source
Inhale, the exposed resource
That is what it greeds
That is what it covets
Contrition, harsh regret
Remorseful and strong feelings of guilt
Waking the yesterdays
Rousing past memories
Wading through the mind
Navigating through thoughts and emotions
Waiting to escape the drifted sands.
Yearning to be liberated from stagnation
Break the chain.
To end a cycle or pattern
Elevation of the sewers
Raising up things of low status
The waking of the waters
The stirring of a force
The heritage from the fathers
The ideas, values, and beliefs passed down by those who came before us
To their daughters to renew us.
To the next generation, who will revitalize us
We are disciples
We follow a certain way of life
We live our own way
We have our own unique path
We are persuaders
We have the ability to convince others
Defend our own space.
To protect our personal territory
Here is the secret world
This is a hidden realm
We are the same way
We all share similarities
Keep it in your mind
Remember it and hold onto it
We are the same way.
We are not so different after all
