Calamine
Lost and Found: Navigating Broken Paths with Calamine
Lyrics
I am lost and can’t find my way back to broken
Feeling disoriented and unable to return to a state of being broken or damaged.
I’m spent, can’t stand
Emotionally exhausted, unable to endure.
My whole world’s blown open
Feeling exposed and vulnerable, as if everything has been revealed or laid bare.
I can’t find the calamine lotion
Unable to find a remedy or relief for emotional distress, likening it to the absence of calamine lotion for soothing.
A petri dish to hold our wish
A metaphorical container or environment where desires and aspirations are nurtured.
The cells all mixed and hoping
Hopes and aspirations mixed together within the context of uncertainty.
Someday soon we’ll rope the moon
An expression of optimism or ambition to achieve something seemingly unattainable.
Once we leave this room and stop moping
Once they overcome their current state of despondency and inaction, they'll accomplish significant things.
I am lost and can’t find my way back to broken
Reiterating the feeling of being lost and unable to return to a damaged state.
I’m spent, can’t stand
Reiterating emotional exhaustion and inability to tolerate the situation.
My whole world’s blown open
A repetition of feeling exposed and vulnerable.
I can’t find the calamine lotion
Continued inability to find relief for emotional distress.
An implant with a rope’s strand
An analogy of an implant with a rope's strand symbolizing surrender or yielding.
Holds its hands in surrender
Acceptance of defeat or inability to change a situation.
Can’t infect our mindset
The determination to prevent negativity from influencing their mindset.
And all the perfect we’ll remember
Remembering the positive amidst imperfections.
The nervous ticks of a lunatic
Referring to anxious behaviors of someone mentally unstable or disturbed.
Loses this grip I’ve been holding
Letting go of control or grip over a situation.
Reality, you and me
Embracing reality with a sense of happiness, freedom, and positivity.
We’re happy, free, and golden
Repeating the feeling of being lost and unable to return to a damaged state.
I am lost and can’t find my way back to broken
Repeating emotional exhaustion and inability to tolerate the situation.
I’m spent, can’t stand
A repetition of feeling exposed and vulnerable.
My whole world’s blown open
Continued inability to find relief for emotional distress.
I can’t find the calamine lotion
Still unable to find a solution or relief for emotional pain.
The hangman’s noose or the golden goose
Metaphors representing choices between something dangerous and something beneficial.
It’s up to you, we just have to choose
The necessity to make a choice between negative consequences and positive outcomes.
The river runs and when it’s done
Life's journey or progression, implying a need to enjoy the present moment.
Let’s be the raft still having fun
Staying resilient and joyful despite life's challenges.
It’ll be the hope that we can’t lose
Optimism regarding holding onto hope even in difficult situations.
I am lost and working my way back to broken
A sense of direction in returning to a damaged state, trying to recover.
I’m spent, can’t stand
Emotional exhaustion and the inability to endure the situation.
My whole world’s blown open
A repetition of feeling exposed and vulnerable.
But you cover me in calamine lotion
Acknowledging the assistance or comfort provided by calamine lotion.
And I’ll cover you in calamine lotion
Mutual support and reliance on each other for comfort.
We’ll make the calamine lotion
Commitment to finding a solution together through support and cooperation.
