down to earth
Navigating Turbulent Emotions: A Journey Back to Reality
Lyrics
I can feel it coming on again
I sense a recurring feeling.
I'm seeing all the signs
I observe the indications or signals.
Just push through today I tell myself
I encourage myself to persevere through today.
To stick it out this time
To endure this time and not give up.
And I've got all these good intentions
I have positive intentions.
But deep down I know that I will
Despite that, I acknowledge I may not follow through.
Spend a couple hours staring at the wall
I might spend hours in contemplation.
And i know one day I'll feel better
Anticipating that one day I'll feel better.
But right now it's getting worse
Currently, the situation is worsening.
And I just need to bring myself back down to earth
I need to ground myself, return to reality.
I've written you a pile of letters
I've written numerous letters to you.
But that doesn't seem to work
Yet, it seems ineffective.
Was never even gonna send them
I never intended to send them.
Cause I still can't find the words
Words elude me.
And they say
There's a saying...
As the days go by these kinds of things get easier
Despite time passing, things aren't getting easier.
But it's been years now, and I still don't feel secure
Years have gone by, and security is elusive.
And I know one day I'll feel better
Hoping for a future improvement.
But right now it's getting worse
Yet, the current situation is worsening.
And I just need to bring myself back down to earth
I need to bring myself back to reality.
I know that I am getting better
Acknowledging personal improvement.
But right now I just feel hurt
Still feeling hurt in the present.
And I'm trying hard
Struggling to find a grounded state.
To find my way back down to earth
Working hard to return to reality.
And it's like
Expressing a numbness or desensitization.
I don't even feel the water anymore
Unable to feel things as before.
Guess I need the rest
Realizing the need for rest.
I keep finding myself just lying down
Frequently finding solace lying in the shower.
In the shower again
Repeating the pattern of seeking solace.
And again
Continuing the cycle.
And again
Reiterating the repetitive behavior.
And I know one day I'll feel better
Believing in a future improvement.
But right now it's getting worse
Presently, the situation is worsening.
And I just need to bring myself back down to earth
I need to ground myself in reality.
I know that I am getting better
Recognizing personal progress.
But right now I just feel hurt
Yet, feeling hurt in the current moment.
And I'm trying hard
Striving to return to reality.
To find my way back down to earth
Continuing efforts to ground oneself.
Need to keep everybody happy
The pressure to please everyone.
Just to try to prove my worth
Attempting to prove self-worth.
But I'm never certain
Despite efforts, uncertainty remains.
Taking all my time
Taking time to carefully choose words.
To pick and choose my words
Deliberation in selecting words.
And I know that they all mean well
Recognizing good intentions from others.
So I'll pretend that it don't hurt
Pretending not to be affected by well-meaning comments.
When people tell me, they say
When people say I'm down to earth.
You're so down to earth
Reaffirming the need to ground oneself.
I'll find new ways to bring myself back down to earth
Exploring new ways to return to reality.
Cause I know one day being here
Anticipating a time when being here won't be painful.
Won't have to hurt
Hoping for a future where the current pain is absent.
