/ And tell me your secret / How are you trained? - - - We all carry a trained persona which we present as ourselves, however this is not who we really are, it is a trained set of reactive patterns, a kind of shield for our inner core which is true and pure and thus very vulnerable / Go on explain… / Tell me how you do it…now / Your poison is glowing / Against the night / How can you lose / Just show them tricks we like - - - the persona can be quite amazing and even though it is incredibly deep and even seems luminescent, it is fake and thus toxic to the true core person it is supposed to protect. "The tricks we like" is another take on that, the fake persona is the ego. / Every time it takes my knees out - - - Dislocating joints was/is used as a method of torture. To observe the true self is to relive and face every repressed memory of trauma you have ever felt. Essentially the song may be about inspecting the methods of self deception in yourself and others which may be quite amazing in their complexity and repression, especially if what you are observing is yourself. "Training" may refer to the ways one creates habits, delusions, justifications etc. / I like to watch you release them - - - .... |

Here's a symbolic take: / Take / Out the stories / They’ve put into your mind and brace / For the glory / As you stare into the sky.. - - - Forget everything you know and brace for the impact of new understanding / The sky beneath - - - You will have to look onto the world from a new angle / know you can’t be tired.. - - - Come on, life has just begun, don't give up yet, the mystery of life has just began blooming in front of you / Lay there / Stare at the ceiling / And switch back to your time just go ahead now try and taste it I know it / should be ripe…thrust…ahead. - - - Remember what you were before your fears and doubts. Remember every trauma and face it (continuation of the song's "Graphic Nature" before this one) / Turning in circles / Been caught in a stasis - - - Because until you do you will be trapped / The Ancient's arrival / Cut to the end - - - The Ancients represent the Archetypes within you. Cut to the end, do not get caught in the details. / I’d like to be taken / Apart from the inside / Then spit through the cycle right to the end / I wonder just how you shaped it To get back to your prize…thrust..ahead - - - Deconstruct every aspect of yourself in order to transform yourself into what you truly want to become |
