Wasting Time
Embracing Shadows: A Journey Through Time and Stress
Lyrics
I feel like I'm wasting time
Expressing a sense of inefficiency or unproductivity in the current moment.
All this stress infects my mind
Stress is negatively impacting the speaker's thoughts and emotions.
Lost my shit, been long gone
The speaker has experienced a breakdown or loss of control.
Running from blades on the clock
A metaphorical reference to avoiding time-related pressures or responsibilities.
Days repeat and revolve
Days seem repetitive, mirroring the speaker's mental state during absence or detachment.
Like my mind when I'm gone
Comparing the repetitive nature of days to the speaker's thoughts when mentally absent.
First we speak, then we thought
Communication precedes deeper contemplation.
Have we both just had enough
Suggesting both individuals may be weary or exhausted with a situation.
Of the sunsets in the fog creeping up as I
The fog symbolizes unclear or challenging situations; questioning if both are tired of navigating difficulties.
I feel like I'm wasting time
Reiteration of the feeling of wasting time.
All this stress infects my mind
Reiteration of the impact of stress on the speaker's mind.
I feel like I'm wasting time
Restating the feeling of wasting time, emphasizing its persistence.
Waiting for a chance to shine
Expressing a desire for an opportunity to showcase one's potential or talent.
Skipping rocks to pass the time
Using a common activity to pass time, suggesting a longing for simplicity.
If I had wings, I wouldn't fly
Implies a reluctance to escape or change current circumstances.
I'm grounded here to all my lies
The speaker feels anchored to deceitful behavior and falsehoods.
Like when I say "I'm doing fine"
A contradiction, revealing that the speaker is not truly fine despite claiming to be.
And I don't wanna hear no one
Rejecting unwanted advice or reassurance from others.
Tell me my life's just begun
Resisting the idea that life is just beginning; possibly feeling the weight of past experiences.
I've been living to die
An existential reflection on life as a journey towards death.
I feel like I'm wasting time
Reiteration of the persistent feeling of wasting time.
All this stress infects my mind
Reiteration of the impact of stress on the speaker's mind.
I feel like I'm wasting time
Repeating the feeling of wasting time, suggesting a continuous struggle.
Waiting for a chance to shine
Reiterating the desire for an opportunity to shine, emphasizing its importance.

All this stress infects my mind
Emphasizing the ongoing impact of stress on the speaker's mental state.
I feel like I'm wasting time

Waiting for a chance to shine
Reiterating the desire for a chance to shine, bringing the theme full circle.
