Embracing Life's Journey: A Musical Tale of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I've been stuck and receding
I've been stuck and regressing
Can't seem to find my true meaning
Struggling to discover my true purpose
Nothing to have or to hold
Nothing to possess or keep
Seems I'm afraid and alone
Feeling fearful and isolated
I wear the same grey t-shirt
I'm wearing the same gray t-shirt
The one you gave me in the spring term
The one you gifted me in the spring semester
Where's that light inside me
Where is that inner light I once had?
You claim you found
You claim to have discovered
I guess I took the bulb and threw it on the ground
I probably discarded the lightbulb and shattered it
So, tell me what's worse
So, what's more painful?
That I lost myself
Whether I lost my true self
Or that it still hurts
Or that the pain persists
No more laying on my backside
No more passive existence
I'm saying goodbye and hello to my life
I bid farewell and welcome a new chapter in my life
Staring at the ceiling
Staring at the ceiling in contemplation
I waste away in my feelings
I waste away consumed by my emotions
Wanting to love and to live
Desiring to love and truly live
I can receive but I can't give
I can receive but struggle to give
And I'm letting go of your memory
I'm releasing the grip on memories of you
And I'll let you fade out like blue jeans
You fade away like worn-out blue jeans
Maybe now it's time I look around
Perhaps it's time to explore my surroundings
Stand on my feet and get my head out of the clouds
Stand on my own feet and clear my head from illusions
So, tell me what's worse
So, what's more painful?
That I lost myself
Whether I lost my true self
Or that it still hurts
Or that the pain persists
No more laying on my backside
No more passive existence
I'm saying goodbye and hello to my life
I bid farewell and welcome a new chapter in my life
I've been stuck and receding
I've been stuck and regressing
Waiting to find my true meaning
Waiting to discover my true purpose
All that I am is inside
All that I am resides within
Trying to birth it into life
Trying to bring it to life
So no more laying on my backside
No more passive existence
I'm saying goodbye and hello to my life
I bid farewell and welcome a new chapter in my life
No more laying on my backside
No more passive existence
Watching my life just pass me by
Observing life pass by without participation
