Lyrics

Through Cellophane

I see the world through cellophane,
Clear but distant, dull with pain.
Shapes and shadows, muted light,
A fragile wall that blurs the night.

I reach but never touch the flame,
Trapped between the real and named.
Faces fade behind the screen,
A life half-lived, a fractured scene.

Through cellophane, I watch, I wait,
The world feels close but comes too late.
Echoes faint, like whispered lies,
Through cellophane, truth barely flies.

Dreams distorted, edges fray,
Colors dimmed by time’s decay.
Words hit soft but never land,
I’m stuck behind this thin demand.

I call but silence meets my voice,
Bound by fate, denied by choice.
Hope refracted, bent in two,
A distant world I can’t break through.

Through cellophane, I watch, I wait,
The world feels close but comes too late.
Echoes faint, like whispered lies,
Through cellophane, truth barely flies.

Maybe someday light will tear,
Rip the veil, leave the air bare.
Maybe touch will feel like home,
Past the film, no more alone.

Through cellophane, I ache, I yearn,
For fires that burn, for tides that turn.
A life unfiltered, sharp, and true —
Through cellophane, I’ll break through.

Maybe touch will feel like home,
Past the film, no more alone.

I like this open feeling music you have going on. It has a big like u2 or arcade fire feel, even though its also super different sounding than either of those bands. Really cool song, Scott!! Also I'm super happy to see you here.
