DNA
The Johari Window Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fragile
I awaken to find myself safeguarded
In the palm of your hands I consort my obsession
To idolise the ones who unveiled me
To the essence of life and all its upright flaws
I will never unveil you
As a ghost that redefined its own self-righteousness
Crooked, branded with its own elusiveness

You're wearing a golden collar
Honestly, I have never witnessed such a pure purity as you

(I hold the world you created as me)
We'll entwine
(I'll keep you near)
Dear Mother, Father
A connection defying the hands of time
(Undertake fear)
Dear Mother, Father

Connected fingertips
As you transfer me your leadership
Suppressing me
To idolise the ones who unveiled me
To the essence of life and all its upright flaws
I will always unveil you as a ghost that redefined me

Dilate

We'll entwine
(I'll keep you near)
Dear Mother, Father
A connection defying the hands of time




(Undertake fear)
Dear Mother, Father

Still listening today. This band is a beautiful example and masterpiece of what every other band wants to be and yet still fails miserably to achieve such a sound. Thanks, Dreambound. Thank you, The Johari Window.

The Johari window is a technique[1] that helps people better understand their relationship with themselves and others. It was created by psychologists Joseph Luft (1916–2014) and Harrington Ingham (1916–1995) in 1955, and is used primarily in self-help groups and corporate settings as a heuristic exercise[2][3] . Luft and Ingham called their Johari Window model 'Johari' after combining their first names, Joe and Harrington.

I knew i would find something like this if i googled their name.
