Vlad Holiday：Meaning of It Was Always There Songmeaning

The song "It Was Always There" by Vlad Holiday tells the story of a person who finally realizes that they can't continue living a life full of lies and deceptions. They are suddenly awakened to the truth that was always there in front of their eyes but they were too blind to see it. The person has been living inside a disguise for too long and they know that they can't keep on living like this. The house that they live in has its own secrets, stories that it will never share with anyone. But it's a place that has been burned down like a fire, with nothing left but the last drop in the well. The person feels like they are fading away, far from everything they've ever known. The person's mother is an outlaw, the best there ever was. They learned everything they needed to know within the four walls of their house. Life seems to be good, they even have gold in a package delivered by the mailman. But just one taste of it and they lose control, like their mother knew they would. The person wonders how they could have missed the truth that was always there, right in front of them. It was always there, but they were too blind to see it. They need someone to help them understand and explain the meaning of it all. The song is a reflection on the importance of self-awareness and the dangers of living a lie.
