Wiser

Old Man Canyon's song 'Wiser' is a reflective and introspective piece that delves into the themes of personal growth, understanding, and the journey towards wisdom. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for a future where the singer has gained more insight and maturity. The repeated line, 'When I'm wiser and grown taller, I will see your ways,' suggests a future self who has learned from life's experiences and can understand the complexities of relationships and life itself more clearly.

The song also touches on the pain and struggles that come with growth. Lines like 'I can feel the hurt now I can turn this pain to blame' and 'I'm trying to see it clear but I don't know why it's here at all' highlight the confusion and emotional turmoil that often accompany personal development. The mention of pushing blame onto others, yet recognizing them as 'your brother,' underscores the importance of empathy and understanding in the process of becoming wiser.

In the chorus, the lyrics 'All my heart I'll follow, try until we all glow, we'll shine like diamonds in the rough' emphasize the idea of perseverance and the belief that everyone has the potential to shine despite their imperfections. The journey, though long and filled with both losses and lessons, is portrayed as a path to becoming one's true self, as encapsulated in the line 'Go and be who you are, shine like the Sun on the stars.' The song ultimately conveys a message of hope and the transformative power of time and experience in achieving wisdom and self-discovery.
