Reality
Navigating the Maze of Reality: Below Alabama's Thought-Provoking Anthem
Lyrics
How many times have you laid in bed
Reflecting on how often one has laid in bed
Can't get the same thoughts out of your head
Unable to stop repetitive thoughts
Turn the TV off and close your eyes
Suggesting an attempt to escape by turning off the TV and closing eyes
But, something's still there, it's stirring inside
A persistent, unsettling feeling remains
Am I out of my mind?
Questioning one's sanity
Someone tell me
Seeking input or validation from others
Oh, tell me have I gone insane?
Expressing uncertainty about mental stability
Is this reality?
Pondering the nature of reality
Am I awake?
Uncertainty about being awake or possibly in a dream
Am I awake?
-No booze or pills can fix this
No substance abuse can alleviate the underlying issue
No medicine is made for it
No medicine is effective for the internal struggle
It's the monster in disguise
Describing internal conflict as a disguised monster
It's a temporary fix, but then it gets gone
Temporary relief that eventually returns
And when it wears off, it comes back home
The problem resurfaces after the temporary relief wears off
You need someone the most
Needing support from someone, but they are unavailable
They never answer the phone
Isolation or lack of response when needed the most
They ask you how you're doing
People inquire about well-being, expecting a positive response
You're supposed to say, "Good"
Expected to respond positively despite inner struggles
But they don't know you don't think like you should
Feeling misunderstood by others
People always have it misunderstood
Common misunderstandings about personal thoughts and feelings
Am I out of my mind?
Reiteration of questioning mental stability
Someone tell me
Seeking confirmation or reassurance from someone
Oh baby, tell me have I gone insane?
Continued uncertainty about sanity
Is this reality?
Questioning the reality of the current situation
Am I awake?
Repetition of uncertainty about being awake
Am I awake?
-Am I awake?
-Oh, Am I awake?
Intensifying the questioning of wakefulness
I miss my mom, I miss my dad
Expressing longing for family and friends
I miss my friends and all the good times we had
Nostalgia for past good times with loved ones
Maybe one day you'll understand
Hoping for understanding in the future
