The speaker's emotional state is ambiguous or not explicitly stated.

The speaker's emotional state remains ambiguous or unclear.

The speaker's emotional state is ambiguous or not explicitly stated.

((?))

The speaker's emotional state remains ambiguous or unclear.


I've been out on the waves, still far from home

The speaker expresses being far away from home while navigating the waves.

Tried to affiliate, kept on sailing all alone

Despite attempting to connect or affiliate with others, the speaker continues to journey alone.

I'd give the best of me but all redemption I can see is a shadow

The speaker feels they've given their best, yet redemption or relief is only seen as a shadowy possibility.

In the mist of a reverie

The speaker is lost in a daydream or fantasy.


Never afraid

The speaker claims to not be afraid.

Or so we think as we pace the unknown dark

The uncertainty or unfamiliarity of a situation is acknowledged.

We'd navigate by the whispering wind

The speaker navigates through life guided by intuition and emotion.

And the beat of a heart

Decisions are made based on emotions and the rhythm of life.

And vows would never ever break

Vows and promises are made, seemingly unbreakable, but the reality might be different.

As if we'd ever know

It's difficult to truly understand something until experiencing it firsthand.

What never ever looks like from up close

There's uncertainty about recognizing the reality of certain situations.


Worlds imposed and we try to act upon

Societal expectations influence actions and decisions.

Oh what have we become

The speaker questions the evolution or transformation of themselves.


Nobody there to kill the pain away

There's a feeling of no one being available to help alleviate the pain.

Assay to slither from the pouring rain

Attempting to escape or find refuge from emotional turmoil.

You never know it as you hit the trail

The impact or realization of a situation isn't immediately evident.

All in vain?

Questioning if efforts are futile or pointless.

All in vain?

The sense of effort or action being fruitless is repeated.


((?))

The emotional state remains ambiguous or not explicitly stated.

((?))

The emotional state remains ambiguous or unclear.

Oh, sometimes I wish

A desire for thoughts or overthinking to vanish.

All mentation would disappear

Wishing for emotions to fade away.

Feelings would fade

The wish for the disappearance of intense fear.

And so would this blazing fear

Like a grain dancing in the wind

Feeling adrift, lacking stability or a sense of belonging.

Without steady place

Delaying facing a situation or responsibility.

Defer arrival 'til another day

Postponing confronting something challenging.


Worlds imposed and we try to act upon

External expectations shape actions and reflections on personal transformation.

To wonder what we become

Questioning the outcome or result of personal changes.


Nobody there to kill the pain away

No one available to provide relief from emotional pain.

Assay to slither from the pouring rain

Trying to escape or find solace from emotional turmoil.

You never know it as you hit the trail

The impact or realization of a situation isn't immediately evident.

All in vain?

Questioning if efforts are futile or pointless.

All in vain?

Reiterating the potential futility of efforts.


I was gonna hope to choke the fire

Expressing the intention to suppress or extinguish a strong emotion.

I was gonna face up and let go

Ready to confront and release emotions.

Oh, I was gonna ally with the golden guising

Desiring to align with something positive or promising.

And by the light of dawn I'd put my brave face on

Aiming to present a brave front after overcoming difficulties.


Nobody there to kill the pain away

Lamenting the absence of someone to alleviate emotional pain.

Assay to slither from the pouring rain

Attempting to escape or seek refuge from emotional turmoil.

You never know it as you hit the trail

The impact or realization of a situation isn't immediately evident.

All in vain?

Questioning if efforts are futile or pointless.

All in vain?

Reiterating the potential futility of efforts.
