Paralyzed
Journey Through Loss: Paralyzed by Back Ted N-Ted
Lyrics
Nightfall comes I start thinking of you
Nightfall triggers thoughts of the person
Couldn't sleep last night cold sweat I need my medicine
Struggled to sleep, needing something to ease discomfort
I wish I could go out tonight
Desire to go out but lacks a destination
There's no where to go
Feeling of being stuck or having nowhere to go
What I wouldn't give for a second with you
Wishes for more time with the person
But I think you're gone for good
Belief that the person is permanently gone
think you're gone for good
Reiteration of the belief that the person is gone for good
I'm paralyzed no joy happiness
Feeling emotionally and mentally paralyzed, devoid of joy
At the edge I can barely hang on to
Feeling at the brink of losing oneself
Who I used be Who I used to be
Reflection on the past self
Taking on water sinking quickly
Sense of sinking or falling apart rapidly
Just carry on without me
Expressing a willingness to be left behind
Just carry on without me
Reiteration of being left behind
If I must go before I'm ready
Acceptance of an untimely departure
Remember what I say
Request to remember a message if departing early
Just carry on without me
Reiteration of being left behind
Promise that you'll carry on without me
Request for others to continue without them
I drive out west just to look at the sunset
Traveling to reminisce about the past
Reminds me of the day we met
Recollection of the day of meeting
The desert water's got me all fucked up
Feeling disoriented or confused by surroundings
Hung over
Experiencing the aftermath of excessive drinking
Does it always have to end like this
Questioning if endings are always this way
Written in the stars forever
Belief in a predetermined fate with the person
Just carry on without me
Reiteration of being left behind
Just carry on without me
-If I must go before I'm ready
Acceptance of the potential early departure
Remember what I say
Request to remember a message if departing early
Just carry on without me
Reiteration of being left behind
Promise that you'll carry on without me
Request for others to continue without them
Gotta say goodbye
Preparing to say goodbye to the familiar
To everything we used to know
Letting go of the past
Don't be afraid, I'll be over soon
Assurance that the departure won't be prolonged
If I must go before I'm ready
Acceptance of a potential early departure
Remember what I say
Request to remember a message if departing early
Just carry on without me
Reiteration of being left behind
Just carry on without me
-The sun lights up your eyes
Metaphorical description of the person's eyes in sunlight
Disguised in fire, blind
Seeing through emotional turmoil but feeling blinded
Makes everything feel alright
Feeling temporarily okay when reminded of the person
For a moment, like I'm with you
Temporary feeling of being with the person
If I must go before I'm ready
Acceptance of a potential early departure
Remember what I say
Request to remember a message if departing early
Just carry on without me
Reiteration of being left behind
Just carry on without me
-If I must go before I'm ready
Acceptance of a potential early departure
Remember what I say
Request to remember a message if departing early
