Lyrics
Dark clouds, passing me by
Reference to challenging times or difficulties in life symbolized by dark clouds.
Skies are only clear now from time to time
Clear moments in life are rare, implying ongoing struggles and uncertainties.
And it's only getting worse, man I don't know why
Expressing a sense of worsening circumstances without clear understanding.
Started off average, a happy guy
Initial state of being content or average, contrasted with later feelings of being a villain.
Started as the hero now I feel like the villain
Transformation from a heroic role to feeling like a negative character in one's life story.
Life will do that through your pain and your substance abuse
Life's challenges and substance abuse impacting one's identity and perception.
You're not you when you drink, you're not you when you sink
Highlighting the changes in behavior under the influence of alcohol or when facing difficulties.
Time to make the most of life, yeah put it to use
Emphasizing the need to make the most of life despite challenges.
I just don't know where to go
Feeling lost or uncertain about the direction in life.
I just don't know what to do
Expressing confusion and a lack of clarity about the next steps.
I've forgiven others big and small
Acknowledging forgiveness extended to others and the need to forgive oneself.
About damn time I forgive myself too
A realization that self-forgiveness is overdue and necessary.
I got everything I want
Listing possessions and achievements, emphasizing having everything but lacking self-love.
I got everything I need
-I got everything I know
-I got everything I see
-I got family, I got health
-I got all this wealth
-I got all I'd ever want
-I just gotta love myself
The key realization that self-love is essential despite external achievements.
Had to look on in the mirror, yeah call it inception
Reflecting on self-perception, inner struggles, and the importance of willingness to change.
Where we do our reflecting, why we call it reflection
-Hardest on ourselves, yeah, lacking acceptance
-We recreate a path filled with misconception
-Make us look like the villain, but we gotta be willing
-Yeah we gotta be willing
-To move on and learn from the past, and realize the pain doesn't have to last
Encouraging learning from the past and understanding that pain is not permanent.
We're all human in and out and we fuck up someday
Acknowledging human flaws and the shared experience of getting lost in life.
Yeah we all get lost here and there along the way
-Can't love another before you love yourself
Emphasizing the importance of self-love before seeking love from others and the need to seek help.
Gotta reach out if you're needing some help

-I just gotta love myself
Reaffirming the importance of loving oneself despite external factors.
You mean more good than you know, done more good than you know
Recognizing personal worth and the impact of one's presence on others.
And everyone would be so fucking sad if you go
-Man I'm crying in the booth, cause there's so many of us
Acknowledging shared pain and the unity among individuals facing challenges.
Hiding in pain, know you're all my brothers
-It's time to get better, today's a new day
Encouraging self-improvement and embracing each new day with gratitude.
Life's too short, know it's cliché

So look on in the mirror, and say to yourself
