Bad Times
Navigating Turbulence: Confronting Life's Low Tides
Lyrics
I can’t breathe
I am experiencing difficulty breathing.
Tightness in my chest
I feel tightness in my chest.
Cause is undisclosed
The cause of my distress is not disclosed or known.
I hate this kinda test
I dislike facing this type of challenging situation.
Chill but now I’m froze
I was calm before, but now I feel frozen or paralyzed.
Why am I stressed?
Why am I feeling stressed?
I have no reason to be
There is no apparent reason for me to be stressed.
If life was a wave this wouldn’t be the crest
If life were represented as a wave, the current situation would not be the peak or summit.
This’d be
Continuation from the previous line, emphasizing the current state.
The low tide

The bad times

The bad times
Reiteration of facing and enduring difficult moments.
I know this’ll go
I am aware that this situation will eventually pass.
But when you’re in the moment it’s hard to let yourself know

And you don’t wanna let it show
I don't want to show or display my vulnerability to others.
Hunched over and gasping
Physically showing signs of distress, perhaps doubled over and struggling to breathe.
Grasping for a grip
Desperately trying to find stability or control in the situation.
Tryna hold on something
Attempting to grasp onto something to avoid slipping further into a difficult situation.
Is this where I slip
Expressing uncertainty about whether the current situation will lead to a setback or failure.
Lemme tell you one thing
Asserting a piece of advice or insight into the situation.
This was unexpected
The current circumstances were not anticipated or expected.
The Onset of a nightmare
The beginning of a frightening experience or situation.
Say dreams are just reflected
Suggesting that dreams are not just fantasies but may reflect real-life experiences.
But I’m fully awake
Despite being in a nightmarish situation, the person is fully conscious or aware.
And I’m feeling the
Continuation from the previous line, expressing heightened emotions.
Low tide
Reiteration of facing a period of low emotional intensity or difficult circumstances.
The bad times
Referring again to challenging or negative experiences.
The low tide
Repetition of a difficult phase, emphasizing the ongoing nature of the situation.
The bad times
Emphasis on enduring through ongoing challenging periods.
I know this’ll go
Reiteration of awareness that the situation will eventually pass.
But when you’re in the moment it’s hard to let yourself know
Despite knowing it will pass, in the current moment, it's challenging to convince myself.
And you don’t wanna let it show
Re-emphasizing the reluctance to reveal one's vulnerability to others.
