Allusions

Allusion is a figure of speech, in which an object or circumstance from an unrelated context is referred to covertly or indirectly. It is left to the audience to make a direct connection. Where the connection is directly and explicitly stated (as opposed to indirectly implied) by the author, it is instead usually termed a reference.

The accumulation of dust
A wealth of opportunities gone by
A film of insight
And passion left inside 
Scratches left on the cover
Scarred by the carelessness of others
Weathered, damaged beyond repair
But the story still remains 

We've only touched the surface 
There's so much between the lines
Born from our head and our hand 
Born on borrowed time

See what you want to believe 
Judge by the scars and not what's underneath
Perpetuate your ignorance 
Everyone's heart beats the same
And in the end we're all subject to fate
Overcome this senseless divide

Hide within the walls of your narrow mind
Or be the change in the world you wish to come alive

Quick to judge a book by its cover
Leave the rest to our thoughts
The cover remains 
Turn the page
Watch your perspective change

He'll never be the hero you wanted him to be
But he'll always be the monster that you made him out to be 

We've only touched the surface 
There's so much between the lines
Born from our head and our hand 
Born on borrowed time

See what you want to believe 
Judge by the scars and not what lies beneath
Perpetuate your ignorance 
Everyone's heart beats the same
And in the end we're all subject to fate
Overcome this senseless divide

Hide within the walls of your narrow mind
Or be the change in the world you wish to come alive
