Analysis of The Strength of Distant Reality
The strength of the light keeps them away.
The new moon has the influence to swoon.
The strength of the light makes us grow.
The new moon reminds of the past we show.
We grow and shed our skin through the moon we act strange.
Tortured between reality and a spiritual dream.
We are all stuck in this distant reality.
Eternal life brings us strife.
To some means a delusional life.
Attracted to a call of a girl.
Thinking spiritually lips begin to curl.
Change would rearrange your life.
Internally can cause strife.
Between the sun and the moon, and now.
The power of the day stands still.
Watching at my window it is love I need to feel.
