about

Metaphors dives into the feeling of wanting to escape by becoming someone or something else.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Speaking in metaphors
I find it hard to say the truth
I'll cover it up some more
Maybe a folly of my youth

What if my skin was the ocean
And my hair was the breeze
Maybe it would all roll over me
With such a comical ease

[Chorus]
If I'm someone else than I'm not here
If I'm not here I may as well disappear
And if I disappear I have no cause to fear
‘Cause if I'm someone else than I'm not here

[Verse 2]
I was hoping for an ending
Where I would know what's right
Where shades of grey won't bother me
And I won't waste my time

Maybe I've had my eyes closed
Oh I've surely been asleep
Dreaming in shades of black and white
Despite the colour TV

[Chorus]
If I'm someone else than I'm not here
If I'm not here I may as well disappear
And if I disappear I have no cause to fear
‘Cause if I'm someone else than I'm not here

[Bridge]
Oh did you think I would say it
That I’d open up my mouth?
Did you think I was praying
For things to go south?
Well I don't know now
Can't think my way out
Sorry boys, didn't mean to let you down

[Chorus]
If I'm someone else than I'm not here
If I'm not here I may as well disappear
And if I disappear I have no cause to fear
‘Cause if I'm someone else than I'm not here
