Comparing Yourself to a Silhouette (Demo) Lyrics by Jam Mechanics

Jam Mechanics Season 2

0

[Intro]
Amelia, 'melia, please
Come back to Earth sometime
[Verse 1]
Amelia was born on a Saturday night
In the heat of July in the heart of America
And while the city slept, her mother showed her the sky
And speckles of starlight settled on her eyes and little Amelia Earhart knew one day she would fly
No, that’s not what happened
Can someone tell me why we obsessively mythologizе real people, rеal lives like this
Like no one truly exists unless they live between the lines
Of a fairy story someone writes?
Is it not enough for someone just to have lived, you know?
And to have lived extraordinarily?
[Chorus]
Amelia, 'melia, please
Come back to earth sometime
I'm dangling here by a wire
And it doesn’t feel like flying
[Verse 2]
Do you think Jesus understood that it wasn't enough to be a good man?
To be wise and patient and kind?
Do you think he knew that in order for his message to outlive him he would have to be canonized, and to be canonized
He would have to die before his time?
Or was that narrative thrust upon him against his will
By a disciple who loved the message more than the man
And who knew that humans don't trust humans
We trust gods
And so this all too human friend of his would have to, whether he wanted to or not
Become a god or be forgotten
[Chorus]
Amelia, 'melia, please
Come back to earth sometime
I'm dangling here by a wire
And it doesn't feel like flying
[Bridge]
And here I am
Trying to be the best version of me that I can
Comparing myself to these silhouettes who
In the way they're presented at least
Did not exist
Thinking that because I don't have a narrative
Because you couldn’t project my story on the screen
That somehow makes me less real
And you know, the thing is, I don’t think I'm accepting that
I think I’m trying to turn myself into a story
To see myself as I see them
As only a silhouette
[Chorus]
Amelia, 'melia, please
Come back to earth sometime
'Cause I'm dangling here by a wire
Amelia, ’melia, please
Come back to earth sometime
I'm dangling here by a wire
And it doesn't feel like flying
(Amelia, 'melia, please)
(Come back to earth sometime)
(I'm dangling here by a wire) Oh
(And it doesn't feel like flying)
