Embracing Misery: Brutal Youth's Soulful Reflection on Heartbreak
Lyrics
Our history – Hard trying to give up the ghost of it
Struggling to let go of our past, haunted by it.
When we should have been making the most of it
Regret for not making the most out of the past.
Hard to say no but I just can’t play host to it
Difficulty in rejecting something despite not wanting to be involved.
A litany of crossing the thin lines
List of repeatedly crossing boundaries or moral lines.
Late night pleading and sleep-deprived daytimes
Nights spent pleading and days affected by lack of sleep.
Upset stomach from swallowing old lies
Physical discomfort from accepting and internalizing old falsehoods.
All torn up and having the worst time
Feeling emotionally torn and experiencing extreme difficulty.
Heart cracked to pieces, soul on fire
Emotional pain, heartbreak, and a soul in turmoil.
All torn up, not like it’s the first time
Repeating a distressed state, not new to such emotional turmoil.
But this one caught me on my blind side
Caught off guard by a situation or emotion.
Here’s company – Not the kind I’d been clinging to hope for
Unwelcome companionship that wasn't expected or desired.
Busy sealing up cracks in the floorboards
Engaging in efforts to fix problems or mend emotional wounds.
Didn’t bother to latch up the back door
Failure to secure oneself from potential emotional harm.
Hey misery – Didn’t think that you’d bother to return
Unexpected return of sorrow or hardship.
Step right in we’ve been keeping your bed warm
Acceptance of misery as a familiar presence.
And leave your shoes on this place is a shit storm
Describing the current state as chaotic and difficult.
All torn up and having the worst time
Continuation of emotional turmoil and distress.
Heart cracked to pieces, soul on fire
Reiteration of emotional pain and internal conflict.
All torn up, not like it’s the first time
Experiencing distress, not a new or unique situation.
But this one caught me on my blind side
Feeling blindsided by a particular emotional challenge.
Smile. Wave. Talk small. Stay brave
Putting on a brave face despite internal struggles.
I know I look like shit but I’ll be fine
Acknowledging a rough appearance but expressing resilience.
