Journey Through Reflection: Embracing Change and Resilience
Lyrics
Remember way back then
Reflecting on the past, looking back at earlier times
The days we used to know
Nostalgia for the days gone by
So long ago it's been
Expressing the distance in time since those days
Where did our time go
Wondering where time has gone
It happened so fast as we walked without a sound
Quickly experiencing events without making a noticeable impact
Gone in an instant cuz I tore it all down
Destruction of something valuable, leading to instant regret
It won't go away, these feelings I can't shake
Unshakable emotions and memories haunting the present
The memories come flooding back and I'll never be the same
Overwhelmed by a flood of memories that change the person
These are the places that I've been today
Listing the places visited or experiences undergone
And if I leave tomorrow, will they remember me this way
Questioning the lasting impression left upon departure
You live and you learn that's at least what they say
Embracing the lessons learned through life experiences
I've faced every feeling from anxiety to shame
Confronting a range of emotions from anxiety to shame
But I'm not ready to give up just yet
Not ready to give up despite challenges faced
Get real, they said to me
Encountering harsh realities and being told to face them
Mistakes are what you made
Acknowledging and learning from past mistakes
Don't give up on what you built
Encouragement to persevere and not abandon what's been built
There I sat, overcome in guilt
Feeling overwhelmed by guilt
I tried and tried to hold on
Struggling to maintain control and not let go
I lived in the moment, or so I thought
Believing to live in the present, though realizing it might be an illusion
I gripped our love until it choked
Holding onto a relationship until it becomes suffocating
I lost my sight, I lost your hope
Experiencing a loss of perspective and optimism
These are the places that I've been today
Repeating the places or experiences visited today
And if I leave tomorrow, will they remember me this way
Questioning the lasting impact on others if leaving tomorrow
You live and you learn that's at least what they say
Reiterating the learning process through life's challenges
I've faced every feeling from anxiety to shame
Facing and dealing with a wide range of emotions
But I'm not ready to give up just yet
Expressing resilience and determination not to surrender
These are the places that I've been today
Revisiting the places or experiences of the day
And if I leave tomorrow, will they remember me this way
Questioning the remembrance of the person if leaving
I lived through this year with a thorn in my side
Enduring challenges throughout the year but emerging alive
But I clawed my way out and damn it, I'm still alive
Surviving difficulties and celebrating being alive
