21 Years
Battling Demons: Unveiling the Emotional Journey in '21 Years'
Lyrics
I had to fight my teenage angst, I was always on the run
I faced and struggled with my teenage angst, constantly on the move
For the demons in my head, they were grinning one by one
The inner demons in my mind seemed to mock me one after another
I couldn't find the other me, who was left alone inside
I couldn't connect with the part of myself that was left alone internally
I was lost inside a world, welcome to paradise
I found myself lost in a world that seemed like paradise but may not be
The adolescent years are gone
The adolescent years are over, but life keeps moving forward
Just kept going on
Life continued without significant attention or recognition
Still nobody wants to see
Despite my qualities, nobody acknowledges the beauty within me
The beauty I have in me
A sense of unappreciated beauty exists within me
21 years had gone so fast
21 years of life have passed quickly, without striving for excellence
Didn't bother to be the best
No effort was made to be the best during this time
As time went by now I learned to care
Over time, I've learned to care, understanding that everyone faces challenges
Every man has a cross to bear
Each person carries their burdens or challenges
21 years went down the drain
21 years seem wasted or lost
Still I'm going all the way
Despite this, I continue my journey with determination
Battled depressions all my life
Throughout my life, I've battled with depression
While my friends were so alive
While my friends enjoyed life, I struggled with inner demons
I could not bear the pain, it made me go insane
The pain was unbearable, driving me towards insanity
I tried to fight this thoughts for years
I fought against dark thoughts for years
I was lost on the way, went to my land of make believe
I felt lost and escaped to a fantasy world
Where everyone looked down on me or was it all inside my head
In this imaginary world, everyone seemed to look down on me, or was it in my mind?
That the demons said 'they hate you all', you have been misled
Demons in my mind falsely claimed that everyone hates me
Time's ticking away so fast
Time is passing quickly, and it's hard to make it last
How could it last
The fleeting nature of time is emphasized
Still nobody wants to see
Despite my qualities, I remain unseen by others
The beauty I have in me
My inner beauty goes unnoticed
21 years had gone so fast
21 years have passed, but there was no effort to excel
Didn't bother to be the best
No focus on being the best during this time
As time went by now I learned to care
Over time, I've developed a sense of caring for others
Every man has a cross to bear
Understanding that everyone carries their own burdens
21 years went down the drain
21 years feel like they have been wasted
Still I'm going all the way
Despite this, I continue my journey with determination
Battled depressions all my life
I've faced and battled depression throughout my life
While my friends were so alive
While my friends enjoyed life, I struggled with inner demons
I shall overcome, I'll never let them win
I express my determination to overcome challenges and not let them defeat me
I shall overcome, I'll never let them in
A reaffirmation of the commitment to overcome challenges and keep negativity out
21 years had gone so fast
21 years have passed, but there was no effort to excel
Didn't bother to be the best
No focus on being the best during this time
As time went by now I learned to care
Over time, I've developed a sense of caring for others
Every man has a cross to bear
Understanding that everyone carries their own burdens
21 years went down the drain
21 years feel like they have been wasted
Still I'm going all the way
Despite this, I continue my journey with determination
Battled depressions all my life
I've faced and battled depression throughout my life
While my friends were so alive
While my friends enjoyed life, I struggled with inner demons
