Waiting for the Fog to Lift - Behind the Song
Don’t get lost in this confusion; what is real and what’s illusion.
This song is not so much about coming out but more about that period of questioning and growing self-awareness that marked the transition. Feeling some things crumbling while other things are finally making sense and coming into focus is a strange and unsettling experience.
Lyrics
So you’re feeling strange, your truth is leaking
Your identity evolving but it feels like it’s dissolving
You’re no longer sure of who or what you’re seeking
(Waiting for the fog to lift)
Don’t get lost in this confusion
What is real and what’s illusion
You will find the way to be true
Learning how to feel the real you
And you fear the fire you feel awaking
That a lifetime of suppression be undone by one obsession
That the burn could get so strong there’s no mistaking
(Waiting for the fog to lift)
Don’t get lost…
Face the fact, there’s no point in denying, this is who you are and it’s no surprise
So, face the fact, too hard to keep on trying to be someone else when it’s just a front
When you kiss him for the first time, it will feel right, it will make sense
Don’t get lost…
