Old Me
Navigating Shadows: Embracing Change in 4ever Falling's 'Old Me'
Lyrics
Feelings inside
Expressing internal emotions
I can’t face it
Unable to confront something
Letting me down
Feeling disappointed by someone or something
I can take it
Capable of handling difficulties
It’s been a while
A significant amount of time has passed
But I’m still feeling like the old me
Despite time passing, still feeling like the past self
Writing it down so
Expressing thoughts in writing for others to understand
You can see it for yourself
Encouraging others to see the situation independently
Dwelling on all
Reflecting on past mistakes
Your past misstakes
Acknowledging mistakes made in the past
Know it aint fair
Recognizing the unfairness of judgment after personal change
When you’ve changed
Indicating personal growth and transformation
It’s been a while
Despite time passing, still feeling like the past self
But you’re still feeling like the old you
Despite time passing, still observing old behaviors in someone else
And the scars you left
Emphasizing that emotional wounds are not healing naturally
Ain’t heeling for themselves
Physical or emotional scars require active healing
My feelings take me for a ride
Emotions leading to unpredictable experiences
Take me for a ride
Repeated acknowledgment of emotional turbulence
Buckle upp inside
Buckling up emotionally for challenges ahead
Know I’ll make it out alive
Confident in overcoming difficulties
It’s just a little ride
Metaphorically referring to life's challenges as a ride
It’ll be alright
Expressing optimism and reassurance
Feeling lonely
Experiencing a sense of isolation
Just like before
Reverting to a previous state of loneliness
But I used to have you
Recalling a past connection
You walked out the door
Highlighting a past departure or separation
It’s been a while
Despite time passing, still behaving as in the past
But we’re still acting like the old us
Numbing emotions to avoid facing reality
Numbing it down
Suppressing emotions to maintain a facade
So we can’t see it for ourselves
Choosing not to confront the truth about oneself
Holding all our grudges in
Holding onto resentments and grievances
But somedays we get enough
Occasionally reaching a breaking point
And explode within
Releasing pent-up emotions explosively
And I’m sorry for the pain
Apologizing for causing emotional pain
I know I take it out on you
Acknowledging the tendency to project one's pain onto others
When it hurts in me
Expressing the internal struggle and its external impact
My feelings take me for a ride
Reiteration of emotions leading to unpredictable experiences
Take me for a ride
Continued acknowledgment of emotional turbulence
Buckle upp inside
Buckling up emotionally for challenges ahead
Know I’ll make it out alive
Confident in overcoming difficulties
It’s just a little ride
Metaphorically referring to life's challenges as a ride
It’ll be alright
Expressing optimism and reassurance
