Wishing Well
Navigating Desires: A Journey of Self-Reflection in 'Wishing Well'
Lyrics
I'll start a war with the fences holding back my good intentions
The singer is willing to challenge obstacles preventing their positive intentions.
Cause I've locked myself away to keep this filthy mirror safe
They've isolated themselves to protect their self-image or identity.
What is the cure for obsessing, waking up to second guessing?
Questioning how to stop fixating on things and waking up with doubts.
Will the silence keep me safe or have we lost our way?
Uncertain if staying silent will keep them safe or if they've lost their direction.
Where is the progress, where is the picket fence?
Expressing frustration about the lack of progress and stability.
That stable ground to walk on got lost in yesterday
Feeling lost without a solid foundation to rely on.
Throw me a rope now, I'm at the bottom of a wishing well
Asking for help ('throw me a rope') while feeling at their lowest ('bottom of a wishing well').
My hope is all I lean on, the day tomorrow came
Dependence on hope for support, waiting for a better tomorrow.
Watch the oxygen reach surface, while the current pulls me down
Observing how others thrive while feeling pulled down by circumstances.
It's so ironic building walls, today you fell and broke your crown
Irony in building emotional barriers as someone else faces a downfall.
Hearts will disintegrate, live with the choice you make
Understanding that decisions can lead to heartache and facing consequences.
If you go where I can't follow, I'll be there anyway
Commitment to be there even if unable to physically follow.
Time slips away
Reflection on how time passes quickly.
I'm not a slave
Declaring independence from being controlled or confined.
You throw flowers out of towers that grew wild on my head
Metaphorically referring to someone throwing insults that impact their mental state.
You beg sheep you led to slaughter not to look the other way.
Asking those responsible for harm not to ignore the consequences.
