Emotional Reflections: Struggles, Fame, and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
The scars remain
The emotional wounds endure
I gave up trying to stitch or patch them up
I stopped attempting to repair or cover them
Their on display
They are visible to others
For everyone to use it how they want
Open for interpretation and use by anyone
It all repeats
A cycle of experiences
The plays go up on the songs that cut you deep
Performances and songs that evoke profound emotions
They want it all
Desire for everything
Their prying eyes
Observing, intrusive eyes
Just waiting till you fall
Anticipating your downfall
All of the seasons
All periods of time
All of the days
Every day experienced
All of the reasons
All the motives
I felt this way
The reasons I felt this way
So long
A significant duration
All of the records
All musical achievements
All of the shows
All live performances
All of the nights
Nights where I expressed myself through song
Where I sang those words
A farewell to those times
So long
Goodbye to the past
The iron fist
Authoritarian control
It holds you down and it never bares the gift
Restrains and never brings rewards
Oh what a shame
Expressing regret
A passing trend
A temporary fashion
They'll soon forget my name
People will soon forget me
The lights went dark
Lights go out, symbolizing failure
A bastard son that could never hit the mark
An unsuccessful individual
Or fit the frame
Does not conform to societal expectations
The more things changed
Despite changes, things remain the same
The more they stayed the same
A reflection on life's inertia
When I look into the mirror decide myself
Self-reflection in a mirror
I can't muster up the courage to ask for help
Unable to seek assistance
These problems keep appearing
Challenges persistently arise
It's clear I've hit the ceiling
Reached a limit or obstacle
Who could ask for more than their name in lights
Desiring recognition and fame
I guess I'm something like a giant afraid of heights
Being a significant figure but fearing success
I'm searching for a meaning
Seeking purpose
Reality is fleeting
Perception of reality is fleeting
Splitting headache
Intense pain and distress
I'm paralyzed
Unable to move
It's like a war zone inside my mind
Mental turmoil resembling a war zone
All for nothing
All efforts seem in vain
