dark days
Embracing Resilience: Navigating Dark Days by Carmela Donna
Lyrics
There is something really wrong in my head
Feeling that something is seriously wrong within the mind
It's been days since I've been out of bed
Hasn't gotten out of bed for days
They say to keep pushing through
Advice received to persist despite difficulties
And whatever is meant for you
Belief that destined things will eventually come to fruition
Will come to you but
Rejecting the notion of waiting for fate to bring things
Fuck that
Expressing frustration or disregard for the aforementioned advice
I've been let down since 2017
Continuous disappointment since 2017
The first time I let a boy devour me
Refers to an emotionally damaging experience with a boy
And for the other two
Wishing others involved recognize the impact
I hope you hear this too
Extending the message to additional parties affected
Because
Transition in the narrative
Trauma trauma
Repetition of the word "trauma" indicating ongoing distress
Doesn't go away
Emphasizing that trauma remains despite time passing
It just gets harder
Indicating increasing difficulty during difficult periods
On the dark days
Struggling during emotionally challenging times
Trauma trauma
Reiteration of ongoing impact of trauma
Doesn't go away
Emphasizing the persistence of trauma
It just gets amplified
Highlighting the exacerbation of trauma during tough times
On the dark days
Difficulty intensifies during dark or challenging periods
Feel like I need to start my future for me
Feeling a need to take control of one's future
But it's hard when you don't know who to be
Struggling with self-identity and decisions in life
They say time can heal wounds
Belief in the healing power of time and its guidance
And lead you to a path that is clearer for you but
Rejecting the idea of time healing and guiding
Fuck that
Expressing frustration or rejection of the notion of time healing
I've been let down since I was 15
Consistent disappointment since the age of 15
The first time I let a boy destroy me
Refers to another emotionally harmful experience with a boy
And for the other two
Wishing others involved recognize the impact, similar to line 9
I hope you hear this too
Extending the message to additional parties affected, similar to line 10
Because
Transition in the narrative
Trauma trauma
Reiteration of ongoing distress using the word "trauma"
Doesn't go away
Emphasizing the persistence of trauma despite time
It just gets harder
Indicating increasing difficulty during difficult periods
On the dark days
Struggling during emotionally challenging times
Trauma trauma
Reiteration of ongoing impact of trauma
Doesn't go away
Emphasizing the persistence of trauma
It just gets amplified
Highlighting the exacerbation of trauma during tough times
On the dark days
Difficulty intensifies during dark or challenging periods
Act as if you think I'm dead
Suggesting a coping mechanism for others to deal with guilt
If that helps you with what you did
Repeating the suggestion for coping with guilt
Act as if you think I'm dead
Continuation of suggesting a coping mechanism for guilt
If that helps you cope with what you did
Continuing the suggestion for coping with guilt
