Tightrope
Navigating Despair: Embracing Light in the Depths of Struggle
Lyrics
I could feel (I could feel) my heart sink
I experienced a sinking feeling in my heart.
I had been pushed (I had been pushed) to the brink
I was pushed to the edge of my limits.
Losing this conflict was all I could handle
Losing this internal struggle was overwhelming for me.
I thought my world was ending
I believed my world was collapsing.
But it was only expanding
It was a transformative experience rather than a downfall.
It wasn't the emotion I thought I'd expect
The emotions I felt were unexpected.
"This won't happen" was engrained in my head
The idea that such a situation won't happen was deeply ingrained in my thoughts.
My absence was always my escape
I used to distance myself as a coping mechanism.
I wasn't in the best place (best place)
I wasn't in a good mental state.
You're owed memories I can't restore
There are memories I cannot bring back.
Not stories of wayfare and folklore
Not interested in stories of adventure and tradition.
My undivided attention was served in seconds
I gave my complete attention in a short time.
For you I had to mend them
I had to mend things for you.
The best parts of me were beckoning
The best aspects of my personality were calling out.
I swallowed my fears
I faced my fears.
I'm so grateful you're here
I'm thankful for your presence.
The last two years
The past two years would have been unbearable without you.
Would have been unbearable (without you there)
Without you there
Expressing the difficulty without you.
I thought I bided my time too long
I thought I waited too long, but the timing was right.
It turns out the timing was perfect
Timing was perfect in the end.
In the end the weight was all worth it
The challenges were worthwhile.
The brightness guided me through the fog
Clarity emerged from the confusion.
And a constant beam of light (that set my course right)
A constant source of guidance set me on the right path.
I had taken on too much
I took on more than I could handle.
(It took over me)
It overwhelmed me.
Longing for what I had when I was young
Longing for the simplicity of my youth.
I had taken on too much
I took on too many responsibilities.
(My responsibilities) are choking me
Responsibilities are suffocating me.
(Setting boundaries for myself)
I set boundaries but failed to follow them.
I'm the one who keeps walking all over them
I'm the one violating those limits.
(Creating limits for abuse)
Establishing limits to prevent self-abuse.
I'm the one leaving myself battered and bruised
I'm the one causing harm to myself.
Where is my incentive (my incentive)
Questioning the motivation to heal.
To find my healing?
Searching for a reason to find healing.
I let misery be my motivator
I allowed misery to drive me forward.
I could sense myself slip into this crater
I felt myself sinking into despair.
I'll only be one thing forever
I may be stuck in one state indefinitely.
I'll slide the scales back to the center
Rebalancing my life, overcoming pain.
The agony and anguish were just all part of the endeavor
Enduring agony and distress as part of the journey.
