Lyrics - Id Scryer

Here are the prepared website posts for the four lyric files found in your folder. I have formatted each with a clear title, a thoughtful literary analysis introduction that ties back to the “Id Scryer” narrative of philosophical struggle and the loss of tradition, and the full lyrics transcribed for your website.

Creeping

Literary Analysis
“Creeping” explores the overwhelming weight of monotony and the profound loss of vitality in everyday modern existence. Through the recurring imagery of a sun that offers no warmth and an existence described as a state of “blindness,” the lyricist captures the deep desire to simply fade away rather than endure a colorless, highly structured life. The progression from “creeping” to “slipping” reflects an inevitable surrender to the passage of time. The song climaxes in a paradoxical cadence where burning in peace is viewed as the ultimate release from the numbness of “turning time,” fitting perfectly into Id Scryer’s overarching themes of escaping a mediocre fate.

Lyrics
VERSE
Sun comes up again
Another day the same
Walking with no mind
Stuck in turning time

PRE-CHORUS
I can’t keep on creeping, because

CHORUS
I just want to fade away
And be still in my blindness
I just want to fall asleep
And never see the sun

VERSE
All the color gone
Yet it must go on
No light in my eyes
Dull pain in my cries

PRE-CHORUS
I just keep on slipping, because

CHORUS
I just want to seize the day
And be still in my blindness
I just want to fall behind
And never see the sun

BRIDGE
Bells are ringing
Angels cringing
Devils calling
I am falling

CHORUS
I won’t fight fate anymore
And be still in my blindness
I just want to cross my arms
And never see the sun

CODA
Heart still beating
Lungs still breathing
How much longer
How much waiting

Stop the boredom
Stop the kicking
No more hunger
No more willing

CADENCE
I’ll be singing
I’ll be praying
I will burn in peace

Forgive

Literary Analysis
“Forgive” is a stark, confessional piece grappling with the destructive nature of ego and mutual resentment. The lyrics paint a raw portrait of a relationship defined by intentional cruelty, where words are weaponized and pride overrides compassion. By mirroring the verses—first reflecting on the narrator’s malice, then recognizing the shared trauma inflicted by the other—the song forces a reckoning with the realization that being “right” only leads to total isolation. The coda serves as a desperate, breaking plea for absolution and the incredibly difficult, conscious choice to finally let go of the pain in order to reclaim one’s own soul.

Lyrics
VERSE
I just hated
Your soul so I could not see
I was so proud
You were so worthless to me

You are broken
I tried so hard to hurt you
And you listened
Each night my words just cutting

CHORUS
Now alone
In my life
Was it good
To be right

VERSE
You would not change
You could never see the sorrow
That you gave me
Anger beating down upon me

Blood on your hands
My soul was not surviving
I just listened
Each night your worded were cutting

CHORUS
Now alone
In your life
Do you care
To be right

CODA
No one asked to be born
In this world
I can’t punish you

I will try to let go
And do one thing
I have never done

I will stop hurting you
And realize
You are beautiful

I will stop blaming you
For something
That I have never done

Forgive me
Don’t know how
Forgive me
Do this now
Perdona

CADENCE
Let me go

Creature

Literary Analysis
“Creature” dives deep into themes of self-loathing, shame, and the intense longing for a different identity. The narrator feels entirely alienated from their own humanity, imagining that being “someone else” would finally enable them to bring joy and kindness to the world instead of suffering. Adopting the metaphor of a subhuman “creature under sea crawling in the sand,” the lyrics illustrate a total degradation of self-worth. The juxtaposition of wishing to leave a “bloody soul” behind while desiring to “fake the stars to fall above” powerfully underscores the tragic gap between the narrator’s grim reality and their idealized, gentlemanly self.

Lyrics
VERSE
I were . someone else . then I
Could . have made you smile . . .
You . would listen then . so I
Teach . and not pretend . . .
I’d . be . proud of all the
Things I left behind . . .
You . would . welcome me and
I would be so kind . . .

CHORUS
If I could leave this bloody soul .
. break away from all my horror
. I could fake the stars to fall above
. tell myself I am not rotting

CADENCE
Wonder as I wander in the world
How I smell so bad
I should be a creature under sea
Crawling in the sand

VERSE
I were someone else, then I
Would not be in hell.
I could see the joys of each
Day and you could tell.
I would be so wonderful even in pain
I would be so caring no more in my shame

CHORUS
If I could leave this bloody soul .
. break away this stupid body
. I could break the stars to fall above
. stop my dream from fading farther

CADENCE
Wonder as I wander in the world
How I smell so bad
I should be a creature under sea
Crawling in the sand

BRIDGE
Slow, breath
Slow, crawl
Low, and

CODA
Cry, way up
High, sinking
Low, in the
Tide

Dreaming

Literary Analysis
“Dreaming” contrasts the harsh, mundane reality of waking life with the fleeting, tragic solace found in sleep. The transition from the dream world—where the narrator finally experiences acceptance and self-love—to the waking world, described numbly as just “another day,” highlights a profound existential dread. The recurring motif of lies, existing both in the dream (the illusion of happiness) and reality (the facade of daily routine), underscores the narrator’s feelings of entrapment. The abrupt, disjointed ending, “Time to go to work,” serves as a jarring snap back to the inescapable, soul-crushing cycle of modern conformity.

Lyrics
VERSE
I woke up in my bed
I am back, in this world
I can’t go on ahead
Another day in this world

Last night I saw lies

CHORUS
I was just dreaming
That they all said they liked me
I was just feeling
For once, I liked me too

VERSE
I drove down in my car
Go nowhere, in this world
Got no will to go far
Another face in this world

Tonight I let me lie

CHORUS
Can I be dreaming
For once feel like l i’m living
My heart would feel
A joy of never knowing

BRIDGE
That was another life
Another way could have been
I never want to dream

CADENCE
Sleeping . Let me fall . back in there
Drifting . I just see . my terror
Tears are . In my mind . just raining
Truth is . all around . just staying

I lie
I try
I cry
I then

CODA
Open my eyes
I’m here to stay
Light fades away
Dark comes above

Back here in this world
Time to go to work

Doors

Literary Analysis

“Doors” is a poignant narrative of alienation and the search for belonging in a world that offers no entry. The song follows a lonely traveler who is systematically rejected by the very institutions meant to provide solace: the spiritual and the communal. The first closed door, at a monastery, represents a denial of spiritual peace and a connection to tradition. The second, at a bar, signifies a rejection from secular society and the simple human need for sustenance and shared joy. The recurring chorus, “I’m walking oh so long / I’m feeling oh so wrong,” acts as a weary refrain, underscoring the profound isolation of the journey. The song culminates not in resolution, but in resignation. The final scene of the narrator, home but utterly alone and “looking out the door,” is a powerful metaphor for a life spent on the outside, forever waiting for a connection that never arrives.

Lyrics

VERSE
Hiking on the trail
My spirit so lonely
I see monastery
I ask someone to see
They said they are praying
So their souls can be free
The friar doesn’t want me
They close the door on me

CHORUS
Im walking oh so long
I’m feeling oh so wrong
No one to give a hand
Just walking till the end

VERSE
Walking on the highway
My belly so hungry
I see a bar with people
They dance so happily
I ask to play my music
So i can drink and eat
The owner doesn’t want me
They close the door on me

CHORUS
Im walking oh so long
I’m feeling oh so wrong
No one to call a friend
Just walking till the end

BRIDGE
Solo

CODA
At last I am sitting home
Each day just looking out the door
No one walking on the road
Till this day I am still alone

Evil

Literary Analysis

“Evil” serves as a raw confession of the narrator’s internal battle with their own darker impulses. The song explores the volatile duality of human nature, where moments of calm self-reflection (“When I’m cool”) are shattered by uncontrollable outbursts of passion and pride. The central theme is the struggle between the self we present to the world and the “surreal” side hidden away. The line, “I can’t fake forever,” is a declaration of this unsustainable performance. The chorus acts as a powerful moment of self-implication and projection, suggesting this capacity for “evil” is not a unique flaw but a shared human condition with the line, “Maybe you are just the same.” The act of making another “feel ashamed” is presented as a direct consequence of this internal conflict, revealing how a failure to confront one’s own darkness is often turned outward onto others.

Lyrics

VERSE
Lose control
My passions and pride ex-
plode again

When I’m cool
I wonder why I hurt
you again

Look at me, I can’t fake forever

CHORUS
Even if I got some good
I think I got a lot of evil
Maybe you are just the same

It’s so easy to hide away
The side of me that is surreal
So I make you feel ashamed

VERSE
I suspect
The people come here to
Laugh again

When they’re gone
I wonder why I went
Mad again

Look at me, I can’t fake forever

CHORUS
Even if I got some good
I think I got a lot of evil
Maybe you are just the same

It’s so easy to hide away
The side of me that is surreal
So I can make you feel ashamed

Forever

Literary Analysis

“Forever” is a poignant meditation on regret and the irreversible nature of emotional neglect. The song unfolds from the perspective of a narrator who, in the past, was emotionally closed off—their “Open eyes empty” and “hiding what I see.” They admit to a betrayal of the heart, an internal anger that made them blind to the other person’s suffering. The chorus poses a haunting rhetorical question: “How could I have heard you crying / When I turned away, forever.” This refrain powerfully captures the narrator’s self-imposed ignorance.

The narrative shifts dramatically in the final verse when the other person “let go” and is “At last… resting,” implying a final, irreversible departure, possibly even death. This event triggers a profound role reversal. In the final chorus, the perspective is flipped: “How can you now hear me crying / As you turn away, forever.” The narrator is now the one left crying and praying in an empty home, trapped in the very loneliness they once inflicted. “Forever” is no longer about the narrator’s act of leaving, but about the permanence of their loss.

Lyrics

By Edward Bolles

VERSE
Open eyes empty
But hiding what I see
Anger inside me
My heart was betraying

CHORUS
How could I have heard you crying
When I turned away, forever
How could I have seen you praying
Alone in your home, forever

VERSE
Hoping, you would feel
My kind ways returning
Each night in your dreams
You saw me still smiling

CHORUS
How could I have heard the silence
When I turned away, forever
How could I have seen the sorrow
Alone all those years

BRIDGE
Ha ha
Oo Oo

VERSE
One night you let go
At last you are resting
No longer waiting
And no longer praying

CHORUS
How can you now hear me crying
As you turn away, forever
How can you now see me praying
Alone in your home

BRIDGE
Ha ha
Oo Oo

Walking

Literary Analysis

“Walking” is a social commentary that uses a simple journey as a framework to observe and critique the pervasive anger and judgment in society. The narrator acts as a passive observer, encountering a series of vignettes: an angry man hating his neighbors, a fraudulent official, a reckless driver, and a hypocritical priest. Each verse highlights a different facet of societal decay, from personal animosity to systemic corruption and moral decay.

The chorus serves as the song’s philosophical core and a direct response to the anger witnessed in the verses. It shifts the focus from external observation to internal reflection, proposing a path to liberation through self-awareness (“If you will look at you / If I will look at me”) and mutual forgiveness. The song argues that this introspective process is the key to breaking free from the “disease” of judgment. The concluding thought, “We are human / You and me / So let us let them be,” is a powerful plea for empathy and acceptance, suggesting that recognizing our shared, flawed humanity is the only way to heal a fractured world.

Lyrics

VERSE
Walking in the town
Saw an angry man
Hating on the neighbors
He couldn’t stand
Went to city hall
Heard an angry dame
Frauding on the people
Who were ashamed
Then he came to me and he said

CHORUS
If you will look at you
If I will look at me
Then we can start to see
That we’re not free
If I forgive to you
If you forgive to me
Then we don’t need to judge
On everything
We are human
You and me
So let us let them be

VERSE
Walking on the road
Felt a super race
Speeding in a new car
With an angry face
Went into the church
Smelled a smelly priest
Preaching on the people
A dumb disease
Then he came to me and he said
