What’s Behind Every Door?
On radical transparency — and the courage it takes to look.
Lyrics
[Verse 1] What would happen if we could see behind every door? If the truth wasn’t hiding, would we need to hide no more? Would the shadows disappear, would the fear just fade away? Or would we stand in the light, with no secrets left to say? [chorus] Tell me now, what’s behind every door? Would we find the truth, or just hunger for more? Is the mystery the key to control what we see, Or is the truth the only way to truly be free? [Verse 2] Why do we turn away, from the things we don’t want to know? Is it power we protect, or the seeds we refuse to sow? If intentions are the gold, not the actions that we show, Why do we play the game, when the win is letting go? [chorus] Tell me now, what’s behind every door? Would we find the truth, or just hunger for more? Is the mystery the key to control what we see, Or is the truth the only way to truly be free? ——— V2: (Simplified) [intro] [gentle hums] [verse 1] What if we peeked through our own disguise, Would the cracks show or would we realize? We wear our armor like a second skin, Almost brave, but not quite in. [chorus] Round and round, we walk that line, Dancing close, but never crossin' time. Almost there, but never free, Almost brave, almost we. [verse 2] Secrets kept like coins in a jar, Heavy but shiny, won’t take us far. Fear’s a friend that likes to stay, Keeps us almost brave today. [chorus] Round and round, we walk that line, Dancing close, but never crossin' time. Almost there, but never free, Almost brave, almost we. [bridge] What if courage wasn’t such a fight, Just a whisper in the quiet night? Would we hear it, would we know? Or keep our souls on standby, slow. [outro] Almost brave, but never free, Almost brave, almost we. ——— V3: (Internalized) [Verse 1] What would happen if we could see inside our own soul? If the walls we had built started losing their hold? Would the doubts start to fade, would the fear lose its weight? Or would we find the strength we’ve been searching for too late? [Chorus] Tell me now, what’s inside every heart? Could we find the peace, or just tear ourselves apart? Is the journey the way to discover who we are, Or is it time to break free and finally reach the stars? [Verse 2] Why do we close our eyes when the truth gets hard to see? Is it comfort that we seek, or just the illusion of being free? If it’s courage we require, not the masks we choose to wear, Why do we cling to the fear when the freedom’s always there? [Chorus] Tell me now, what’s inside every heart? Could we find the peace, or just tear ourselves apart? Is the journey the way to discover who we are, Or is it time to break free and finally reach the stars? ——— V4: [Verse 1] What would happen if we could see behind every door? If the truth wasn’t hiding, would we need to hide no more? Would the shadows disappear, would the fear just fade away? Or would we stand in the light, with no secrets left to say? [Chorus] Tell me now, what’s behind every door? Would we find the truth, or just hunger for more? Is the mystery the key to control what we see, Or is the truth the only way to truly be free? [Verse 2] Why do we turn away, from the things we don’t want to know? Is it power we protect, or the seeds we refuse to sow? If intentions are the gold, not the actions that we show, Why do we play the game, when the win is letting go? [Chorus] Tell me now, what’s behind every door? Would we find the truth, or just hunger for more? Is the mystery the key to control what we see, Or is the truth the only way to truly be free?
