Comets
Navigating Life's Unrelenting Pull
Lyrics
I can’t get away from this
I feel trapped and unable to escape from a situation or emotion.
I feel it all the time
The feeling is persistent and constant.
See through all the blinds
I can see through the facade or illusions around me.
Hear the calling night
I can hear a compelling call during the night.
I can’t get away from this
The sense of entrapment continues.
I just can’t let it die
I can't let go or move on from this feeling.
Everyone’s alive
Others around me seem lively, but I'm just getting through life.
I’m just getting by
I'm struggling to cope.
I can’t find my place in this
I feel lost and out of sync with my surroundings.
I feel like there’s no time
I sense a lack of time or urgency.
I keep my pace and stride
I maintain my pace and stride despite the challenges.
I walk between the lines
I navigate carefully between boundaries.
I can’t find my way in this
I'm tired of trying to find my way.
I’m just a little tired
There's a weariness in my efforts.
I wish I didn’t try
I regret trying so hard.
So hard to fill as high as you
It's challenging to reach the same heights as someone else.
But you could help to steady till
There's a hope for support until I can stand on my own.
I can pick myself up from my knees
I need assistance to lift myself up from a difficult situation.
By standing still as the world tilts
Staying still might provide stability in a chaotic world.
I guess I was made before the comets cratered hills
I was formed before major disruptions, represented by comets hitting hills.
Everything was straight but now the lakes spill
Things were once straightforward, but now there's chaos.
I can’t hear you call my name
I can't hear familiar calls or connections.
It’s just not one I know
A sense of unfamiliarity and estrangement.
It used to be my home
What used to be comforting is now haunted.
Now haunted by a ghost
Memories are haunted by a lingering presence.
I can’t hear the song the same
I can't enjoy the same music or experiences as before.
I used to love the notes
A loss of enjoyment for previously cherished moments.
Like walking childhood roads
Nostalgic paths are no longer accessible.
My friends are all too old to play
Childhood friends have grown too old to share in playful activities.
But you could help to steady till
Seeking stability and support from others.
I can pick myself up from my knees
Recovery with assistance to stand up again.
By standing still as the world tilts
Finding balance in stillness amid a shifting world.
I guess I was made before the comets cratered hills
Reflection on existence before disruptions occurred.
Everything was straight but now the lakes spill
The world was once orderly, but now it's chaotic.
To the river, to the ocean, to the clouds
Mentions of natural elements representing forces beyond control.
To the hurricane that rages down
Acknowledging powerful and uncontrollable forces.
To the rubble, today I found
Discovering remnants or consequences of past events.
I can’t get away from this, a subtlety so loud
The subtlety of the situation is loud and overwhelming.
I can’t get away from this now
Escape is impossible, and the impact is felt strongly.
I can’t get away from this
The feeling of entrapment persists.
I feel it all the time
The constant and pervasive nature of the feeling.
See through all the blinds
Seeing through the surface of things.
Hear the calling night
Hearing a compelling call during the night.
I can’t get away from this
The inability to escape the situation persists.
I just can’t let it die
The difficulty in moving on or letting go.
Everyone’s alive
Others seem alive, but personal struggles continue.
I’m just getting by
Surviving and coping with the challenges of life.
