He sometimes considers "somehow" changing those 'old perceptions" & the old ways' of doing things, because he recognizes that those "labels' given to him, may be not 100% correct', and is thinking that those 'labels' may have to go., He often reflects on, & 'reconsiders' those labels and his self-worth and he recognizes, on & off that maybe, just maybe, he is more "valuable'' than what some people think and the labels he's been given. He is definitely not proud of the "given label" that particular mentors/influences that really quite innocently have tried to convince him that he was/or he is still. I think he has been 'groomed' to think, and is 'used' to, or has 'accepted' the fact, that throughout his life, he has grown accustomed to 'accepting' peoples ideals of HIS 'perceived worth' or 'value', by masking all of that negativity behind a brilliant, self-created mask or curtain. Here's my take on the meaning of Burning Bright - Shinedown. therefore his situation which he did not want show us, is that he knows he has to pick, but hasnt as of yet.) (he see's the paths, new each day, and not sure why he should pick either. There's always something new some path I'm supposed to choose (he cant grasp just what each path leads to, the light leads to? and the dark leads to? In a state of confusion, one might think the dark path is the fun and therefore best pick) I know I cross the lines its not easy to define (the paths are not clear to him, is evil good and good evil?) There's nothing ever wrong but nothing's ever right (did he sin, solely because he wanted to look away from the real reason he was born, to pick a path) (likewise, when the enemy comes, and tests him, he acts if he is of the light) (The more he feels God, the more he looks away) (he thinks about why he doesnt act, make a choice, a path) (he would rather talk about hismelf, then the state of confusion he is in) (because there some things that cant be explained) (he doesnt want to talk about it, no need) General CommentI feel like there is no need for conversation There's always something new, some path I'm supposed to choose I know I crossed the line, it's not easy to define There's nothing ever wrong, but nothing's ever right To spare myself of the constant shame of my existenceĪnd I would surely redeem myself in my desperation I wonder if the things I did were just to be different Some questions are better left without a reasonĪnd I would rather reveal myself than my situation
