Respite
Discovering Self-Redemption in "Respite" by Bench Press
Lyrics
Never thought it'd be true
Unexpectedly, the situation has become a reality.
Back down to the wayside
Returning to a less prominent or forgotten position.
Respite, respite
An urgent desire for relief or rest.
How can I find you?
How can I discover or access this relief?
More room for breathing
Seeking more space to breathe freely.
More time to think
Desiring additional time for contemplation.
To be good to be real
To be so perfect that it seems unreal.
Thinking,
Engaging in contemplation.
it was on. The. Cusp.
Almost reaching a significant point or transition.
stumble force yourself up
Struggling and forcing oneself to stand up after stumbling.
Call it out, fix yourself, don't repeat
Addressing issues, improving oneself, avoiding repetition of mistakes.
You gotta be, you gotta be
Emphasizing the need to fulfill certain expectations or standards.
This isn't the past
Acknowledging the present isn't a repetition of the past.
And it can't be the future
Recognizing the impossibility of duplicating the future.
