Triptych - The Dunce

Copied!edit Lyrics

Well aware that the spurts stem slightly
From left and right fights nightly pull
To which extreme the false seems the prophet
But truth leaves him less than full

Designed to pull more than inward
Crippled by love and the girl
He breathes but cannot grab ahold of
That which may give him the world

And fall with the leaves all around you
The beauty lies under the coals
You've kept up the weight on your back
And the heat that you've tended
Is starting to burn at your soles
If for once the dunce in the class
Could learn to be more of less
Then air could be shared by more than one
This sound is around when walls are coming down

"Triptych - The Dunce" is a haunting and introspective song that delves into themes of self-awareness and personal growth. The lyrics speak to the struggle of trying to find one's place in the world, feeling weighed down by love and the expectations of others. The protagonist grapples with the idea of truth and falsehood, unsure of where he fits in amidst the chaos around him.

The imagery of falling leaves and burning coals paints a picture of a person on the brink of change, feeling the weight of their past mistakes and decisions. The repetition of the word "dunce" hints at feelings of inadequacy or failure, but also suggests a desire to break free from these limitations and learn from past experiences.

The overall tone of the song is contemplative and melancholic, with a sense of urgency in the repeated refrain of walls coming down. It is a plea for growth and understanding, a reminder that change is possible if one is willing to embrace vulnerability and let go of the past.
