"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance."
--Aristotle
Stand
1997
Take it shallow, like a man, take it any way you feel
Make the choice to stand and fight, or move onto something real
Or is that what you’re looking for
She holds you down, holds you back, keeps the reigns tight at her side
Barely let’s you be a man, barely let’s you stay alive
Baby is that what you really want
I know that ledge on where you’re standing
I know you want to spread your wings and fly
I don’t know why you wont jump
Off of that ledge where you’ve been standing
I don’t know why you wont fall
Into the peace of mind that you could land in
The one thing I do know
Is all you do is stand there
Take is shallow, like a man, take it any way you please
Have the balls to stand your ground, or just drown in your disease
Or is that what you’re hoping for
I know that ledge on where you’re standing
I know you want to cut the strings and fly
I don’t know why you wont jump
Off of that ledge that you’ve been standing
I don’t know why you wont fall
Into the peace of mind that you could land in
The one thing I do know
Is all you do is stand
The same friend I wrote '4am' about is also the topic of this song as well. The relationship was not a healthy one for him, however, he couldn't leave her either. From what I have heard, she finally left him a bit later. It's weird how the world works.
