[Chorus]
Equal, we fall.
We all stand tall.
Revolve, recall.
We rise, we fall.
Real.
[Verse 1]
If I were alone, I would never pretend to be
any man to rule the heavens.
Situations have me entangled in the dreams, allegedly ending in disillusion.
[Verse 2]
When yet I go back, and try to believe,
in the darkness of where I used to bleed.
There is only one, one only way hidden beneath the dichotomy.
[Bridge]
Losing it all, living alone in need.
Turning the page, no hesitation here.
[Refrain]
Equal, we fall.
We all land tall.
Entangled Dreams
A meditation on how aspirations can become traps. "Allegedly ending in disillusion" suggests both the fear of dreams failing and the possibility that this fear itself is the real illusion. The entanglement metaphor captures how deeply our dreams embed themselves in our identity, making it difficult to separate self from aspiration.
Hidden Unity
The album's central revelation and philosophical climax. This line suggests that beneath all apparent contradictions—love/loss, joy/pain, connection/isolation—lies a single truth that encompasses everything. Rather than resolving the dichotomy, it reframes it as the pathway to understanding. The "hidden" nature preserves mystery whilst offering hope for transcendence.
