High Road
Navigating Heartache: Choosing the High Road with Ami Monterey
Lyrics
Everyone here is going through the motions with no real emotion
Expressing that people around are going through routine actions without genuine emotions.
And I can't pretend I'm not influenced
The speaker acknowledges being influenced and unable to pretend otherwise.
Maybe it's safe to follow but my heart's in a knot and I'm hurting
Contemplating whether it's safer to conform but feeling emotional turmoil and pain.
I've been complaining to myself for a while
The speaker has been privately complaining about their situation for a while.
But all of this means nothing cause I hid behind the pillar to try and avoid you walking Away
Despite complaints, hiding from someone to avoid confrontation or interaction.
I wish I didn't care
Expressing a desire not to care about the situation.
I wish I never sweared on my life
Regretting past commitments or promises made.
I'd always take the high road with you
Expressing a commitment to taking the morally superior path, the "high road."
I wish I hadn't caved so many times
Regretting giving in or yielding too many times.
I wish I didn't crave approval
Wishing not to seek approval from others.
I swallow my pride every time
Enduring humiliation by swallowing pride repeatedly.
What if erasing the fifteen years could result in something more tragic
Contemplating the consequences of erasing a significant period of time.
Cause I look around, and all I see is you
Observing the pervasive influence of a specific person.
Everyone here is leaving and I'm sure you didn't see me in your view
Noticed by the person leaving, but feeling unnoticed or unimportant.
But we were on the same train and I was speechless cause I just had too much to say
Despite being on the same train, unable to express thoughts due to overwhelm.
But all of this means nothing cause I hid behind the pillar to try and avoid you walking Away
Repeating the theme of hiding to avoid confrontation.
I wish I didn't care
Reiterating the wish to be indifferent to the situation.
I wish I never sweared on my life
Regretting past promises or commitments.
I'd always take the high road with you
Commitment to taking the high road, maintaining moral integrity.
I wish I hadn't caved so many times
Regretting yielding or giving in too many times.
I wish I didn't crave approval
Expressing a desire not to seek approval from others.
I swallow my pride every time
Continuing to swallow pride despite difficulties.
You know it was never supposed to be like this
Reflecting on the unexpected nature of the current situation.
Everything out of order with carter like this
Noting the disorder and chaos in life, possibly related to a person named Carter.
Taking the high road is difficult, but I'm almost 23 and I
Acknowledging the difficulty of taking the high road, despite being almost 23.
Can't seem to leave this behind
Struggling to move on from the current situation.
Why do I have so much trouble forgetting and forgiving
Questioning why it's challenging to forget and forgive, especially when it seems easy for others.
When it looks so simple on you
Contrasting personal difficulty with the apparent simplicity of forgiveness on others.
I wish I didn't care
Reiterating the desire not to care about the situation.
I wish I never sweared on my life
Regretting past commitments or promises.
I'd always take the high road with you
Commitment to consistently taking the high road, especially in the company of a specific person.
I wish I hadn't caved so many times
Regretting yielding or giving in too many times.
I wish I didn't crave approval
Expressing a desire not to seek approval from others.
I swallow my pride every time
Continuing to swallow pride despite difficulties.
