Transparent Lyrics
Consume all the obscene
Persuade the most hideous and ugly
Under every pile and stone.
A rebirth, for you to find
Freedom is to be able to go in any direction
So take the uncertain path
One foot in the open
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And don’t lie to yourself.
Secrets left above the grave
It’s not for one to keep.
You’re all so self destructive
Spend more time with the broken
See what became of their mistake
You know you lost when you feel transparent
Be at one with the wind (ever changing)
Even if it’s a struggle
Make this your priority
Open all your senses to new impressions
Act like all that was has vanished
One foot in the open
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And don’t lie to yourself.
Secrets left above the grave
It’s not for one to keep.
You’re all so self destructive
Spend more time with the broken
You know you lost when you feel transparent
One foot in the open
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And don’t lie to yourself.
Secrets left above the grave
It’s not for one to keep.
You’re all so self destructive
Spend more time with the broken
See what became of their mistake
You know you lost when you feel transparent
You know you lost when you feel transparent
Persuade the most hideous and ugly
Under every pile and stone.
A rebirth, for you to find
So take the uncertain path
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And don’t lie to yourself.
It’s not for one to keep.
You’re all so self destructive
See what became of their mistake
You know you lost when you feel transparent
Even if it’s a struggle
Make this your priority
Act like all that was has vanished
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And don’t lie to yourself.
It’s not for one to keep.
You’re all so self destructive
You know you lost when you feel transparent
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And don’t lie to yourself.
It’s not for one to keep.
You’re all so self destructive
See what became of their mistake
You know you lost when you feel transparent

This song speaks of choosing your own path in life and not being certain of everything you do. It is no good to go through life not sharing your experiences and daring to do something different(also being open to new ideas). Eventually people start to ignore who you are and you die without leaving something for people to remember you by.
In general we have limited ourselves to what our eyes can see; never We appreciated what for many is considered ugly (marked by society). Why continue so? We have freedom to chart our own course, without tracking stereotypes and prejudices, and not feel guilty even if we are criticized; be autonomous and responsible for our own progress and we not feel despised, always be sure to who we are to avoid becoming self-destructive. Every word and action performed in our life will be remembered or forgotten, we will be remembered or forgotten. So it is better to live with a soul open to new experiences and enjoy each day without yearning for the past.
Also, its about learning from other peoples mistakes, hence
"Spend more time with the broken (see what becomes of their mistake), You know you lost when you feel transparent "
