Lyrics
She stumbled into the woods one day and she couldn't get herself out
Entering a challenging situation symbolized by the woods, struggling to escape.
The trees grew taller the branches longer and all she could do was shout
Feeling overwhelmed as difficulties grow, expressing helplessness through shouting.
She screamed and screamed until her voice turned black but no one could hear her cries
Desperately seeking help, screaming without being heard due to past dishonesty.
Truth is nobody listened because all she ever told were lies
Isolation resulting from a history of dishonesty, leading to ignored cries for help.
But the forest it had a magic plant she used to drink her tears away
Finding solace in a magical plant, using it to cope with emotions and hardships.
She drank it dry till the forest died and she washed up on a bay
Overusing the plant, causing harm to the environment and ending up in a different place.
The sand was soft and the sun was warm and she thought she could find her way home
Arriving in a new, seemingly pleasant place, hoping to find a way back home.
The more she tried the more she cried and realised she was all alone
Struggling and realizing the increasing difficulty of returning home.
When there's no way out
Reflection on the challenges of life, questioning whether to give up or start anew, emphasizing resilience.
And you're too far in
-Do you want it to end
-Or begin again
-When you think it's going to stop
-You go right back to the start
-When you don't know where you've been or where you are
-It's the art of not falling apart
-She craved and craved that forest plant but it didn't grow on the sand
Longing for the comforting plant, facing the harsh reality that it doesn't thrive in the new environment.
She grew weaker and started to crumble until she could hardly stand
Physical and emotional deterioration due to the absence of the familiar coping mechanism.
Take me back to the motherland she said as she fell to her knees
Begging for a return to a safer place, seeking divine intervention through prayer.
Looked up to the heavens and prayed to god oh god oh please
-When there's no way out
Reiteration of the struggles and uncertainties in life, emphasizing the resilience to avoid falling apart.
And you're too far in
-Do you want it to end
-Or begin again
-When you think it's going to stop
-You go right back to the start
-When you don't know where you've been or where you are
-It's the art of not falling apart
-There's a place that she goes that nobody knows
A hidden mental space, a retreat where the person copes with inner turmoil privately.
Where no one gets to see inside her mind
-This place that she goes, with all its highs and lows
-You'll be sure to find her there another time, another time
-When there's no way out
Reiteration of the theme, emphasizing the cyclical nature of challenges and the constant effort to endure.
And you're too far in
-Do you want it to end
-Or begin again
-When you think it's going to stop
-You go right back to the start
-When you don't know where you've been or where you are
-When there's no way out
Final reinforcement of the central theme, emphasizing the ongoing struggle and the skill of not falling apart.
And you're too far in
-Do you want it to end
-Or begin again
-When you think it's going to stop
-You go right back to the start
-When you don't know where you've been or where you are
-It's the art of not falling, the art of not falling apart
