My Own Design
Breaking Free: Unveiling the Emotional Struggles in 'My Own Design'
Lyrics
By the time you read this, I'll be gone.
The singer is leaving or has left by the time the message in the song is read or heard.
It wasn't a knee jerk reaction.
They didn't make a sudden or impulsive decision.
Come reminisce my past regrets.
Asking someone to revisit their past regrets together.
Lie in a pool of your own consequence.
Suffer the consequences of their actions or choices.
I have become, mentally exhausted through you.
The person feels mentally drained because of someone else.
I have reasons. An emotional hostage for you.
They have valid reasons for feeling like an emotional captive due to someone.
A slave of my own design.
Feeling trapped or controlled by their own choices or actions.
A slave of my own design.
Repeated line emphasizing the feeling of being trapped by one's own decisions.
Tred carefully and cautious next time.
Advising caution and mindfulness in the future.
Not live in hindsight, live in my own mind.
Choosing to live in the present, not dwell on past regrets.
No surprise that I'm the honoured guest.
Not surprised to be treated as a special guest at a gathering where self-pity is the main theme.
To a pity party at your own expense.
Being at a self-pitying event that's at the cost of the person's own well-being.
I have become, mentally exhausted through you.
Reiterating feeling mentally exhausted due to another person.
I have reasons. An emotional hostage for you.
Having valid reasons for feeling like an emotional hostage due to someone else.
A slave of my own design.
Feeling trapped or controlled by their own choices or actions (repeated line).
A slave of my own design.
Reiteration of feeling trapped by one's own decisions (repeated line).
I have become...
Beginning a repetition emphasizing feeling mentally drained due to another person.
Mentally exhausted through you.
Continuation of feeling mentally exhausted due to someone else.
I have reasons. An emotional hostage for you.
Having valid reasons for feeling like an emotional captive due to someone else.
A slave of my own design.
Feeling trapped or controlled by their own choices or actions (repeated line).
A slave of my own design.
Reiteration of feeling trapped by one's own decisions (repeated line).
