Tranquilize
Tranquilizing Inner Demons: Finding Identity Amidst Chaos
Lyrics
It feels just like square one unlike past moments
Expressing a sense of starting over, reminiscent of previous moments.
I miss the times I had the weakest hands
Nostalgia for a time when vulnerability was more evident.
I never held things in 'cause I didn't need to
Didn't express emotions before, but now facing a loss of identity.
Now I'm losing all this sense of who I am
Experiencing a disconnection from one's true self.
When that should be the past
Reflecting on the past, which should be left behind.
It feels just like square one unlike past moments
Reiteration of feeling like starting anew.
I miss the wide wild eyes that I once had
Missing the innocence and curiosity represented by wide, wild eyes.
I hold it close but it's still so far away now
Close to something desired but still distant after self-enforced learning.
Since I force myself to learn that things aren't bad
Acknowledging that forcing oneself to see things positively doesn't always work.
When things get bad
Despite difficulties, others may not perceive the situation as problematic.
No one sees it as so bad
Highlighting the discrepancy between personal and external perspectives on hardship.
I can't have more than to not rely on you,
Preferring independence and not relying on others.
For thinking for the rest of your life
Encouraging self-thinking for a fulfilling life.
I get so lost with myself and everyone
Feeling lost within oneself and in interactions with others.
I just yearn to go and make up my own mind
Desiring to make independent decisions and form one's own opinions.
For the first time
Yearning for a new experience or perspective.
There is a flame in the dungeon of these moments
Metaphorically describing an intense emotional state as a flame in a dungeon.
But I'm unable to bear the nightmare of being sad
Unable to bear the sadness that comes with confronting these emotional moments.
While people work through how to be content with it
Observing others trying to find contentment in difficult situations.
I never fit my head in both my hands
Difficulty in understanding or coping with personal emotions.
I must take a stand
Committing to taking a stand for oneself.
When can I act as I just am
Questioning when it's possible to act authentically.
When can I act as I just am
Repetition emphasizing the desire to be true to oneself.
I can't have more than to not rely on you,
Reiteration of not wanting to depend on others.
For thinking for the rest of your life
Emphasizing the importance of personal thinking for a fulfilling life.
I get so lost with myself and everyone
Continued struggle with self-identity and understanding others.
I just yearn to go and make up my own mind
Desire for autonomy in decision-making and forming opinions.
For the first time
Reiteration of yearning for a new experience or perspective.
You saw this child who's put up a fight
Recognition of a personal struggle, possibly in the form of inner conflict.
Who needs to tranquilize the demons that live inside
Acknowledging the need to find a way to calm inner struggles or demons.
I live this life and I try I always listen more than twice
Living life, trying, and being attentive but facing challenges in communication.
None of the words I say ever make it out alive
Expressing frustration that spoken words often don't convey one's true feelings.
But they will tonight
Anticipating that words might have a significant impact tonight.
You saw this child who's put up a fight
Reiteration of a personal struggle and the need for inner tranquility.
Who needs to tranquilize the demons that live inside
Emphasizing the importance of calming internal struggles or demons.
I live this life and I try I always listen more than twice
Continuing to live life, trying, and being attentive despite challenges.
None of the words I say ever make it out alive
Repeating the frustration that spoken words often don't convey true feelings.
But they will tonight
Expressing hope that words will have an impact tonight.
