The song begins with a calm tone that fits perfectly into the soundtrack of a movie about a troubled teenager. It sounds so smooth, like you just had a productive day without any worries. The consistent beat kept me extremely engaged and expectant.
This phrase, ‘show me actions, not words,’ comes to mind repeatedly as I go through the lyrics of this song. The singer clearly values effort more. It’s like a cooking class; you never actually learn until you cook.
He feels clouded, like all he’s ever known was a lie. He’s like a rich kid who woke up in his cleaner’s house and saw reality, trying to make sense of himself and the things around him. He feels troubled by this sudden discovery but is still willing to make sense of it all.
This song has captured what it feels like when your beliefs are looked at from a new perspective. You find yourself questioning everything and hoping that some sort of resolution will come, but will it?
