Shepard from The Machine by Not of Man
04. Shepard
Key Themes: Guidance, Isolation, Loss of Innocence
The yearning for a "Shepard" symbolizes a longing for direction and support, which taps into fundamental human needs for connection and guidance as posited by psychologists like Maslow. The confusion between childhood and adulthood speaks to developmental psychology, where the individual struggles to transition from dependence to autonomy. The repetition of awaiting "something other than this silence" underscores a depressive feeling associated with loneliness and existential uncertainty.

Lyrics
A turning for the worst
A smile that becomes cold
A gift becomes a curse
A heart that turns to stone
A life that fades away
A boy that's left alone
A man won't find his place
If his world is unknown
Where's my Shepard
Where's my guidance
I'm awaiting something
Other than this silence
A negative decline
Positive for pain
A wall that's built inside
A heart that falls away
A time that's standing still
A boy that never grows
A man without the will
To carry on alone
Oh oh oh
Where's my Shepard
Where's my guidance
I'm awaiting something
Other than this silence
Oh oh oh
Where's my Shepard
Where's my guidance
I'm awaiting something
Other than this silence
Oh oh oh
Is there changing
I'm so far gone
I have no need to carry on
Oh oh oh
Where's my Shepard
Where's my guidance
I'm awaiting something
Other than this silence
Oh oh oh
Where's my Shepard
Where's my guidance
I'm awaiting something
Other than this silence
Oh oh oh
