Low Ceiling
Navigating Life's Low Ceilings: A Reflection on Struggle and Transformation
Lyrics
Old mister fun is back
Old mister fun returning
Wonder where he's been hiding at
Curious about his whereabouts
Hanging round the edge
Loitering on the periphery
Walls unfortified, inside
Weak barriers within
No different, patchwork hack
Unremarkable, makeshift skills
Toil away on an unlaid track
Laboring on an unfinished path
Fall's closing in, got nowhere to hide
Approach of autumn, no refuge
This time
A moment of vulnerability
Finding ceilings low
Encountering limitations
I'm too big or this room's too small
Feeling too large or space too confined
Why's my ceiling another's floor?
Questioning the inversion of roles
Past twisted, expected warp
Past distorted, anticipated change
Attention span increasingly short
Reduced attention span
Hard to breathe, this altitude will get you high
Difficulty breathing at higher altitudes
I've tried
Struggling, attempted solutions
Finding ceilings low
Encountering limitations again
I'm too big or this room's too small
Sensation of being oversized or space too small
Why's my ceiling another's floor
Questioning the reversal of roles
And nobody can tell you
Nobody can provide the answer
It's a moment in time
A fleeting moment
That defines and deforms you
Defines and distorts individuality
Finding ceilings low
Encountering limitations once more
I'm too big or this room's too small
Feeling too large or space too confined again
Why's my ceiling another's floor?
Questioning the inversion of roles again
And nobody can tell you
Nobody can provide the answer again
It's your moment in time
A personal moment in time
Write me over, false reporter
Request to be portrayed accurately
Can't you let me shine?
Desire to be allowed to shine
Write me over, false reporter
Request to be portrayed accurately (repeated)
Can't you let me shine?
Desire to be allowed to shine (repeated)
And nobody can tell you
Nobody can provide the answer once more
It's your moment in time
A personal moment in time once more
That defined and deformed you
Defines and distorts individuality (repeated)
