Still a Child
Embracing the Shadows: Navigating Adulthood with Compass & Cavern
Lyrics
Just one more hour then I swear I am turning it off
Expresses a desire to stop engaging with something soon.
I can't remember when I started, and I'm scared of the thought
Uncertain about the beginning of a situation and fearful of acknowledging it.
The sun has gone down
Indicates the time of day.
I'm all alone now
Feeling isolated.
It's time to face the truth
Acceptance of confronting reality.
Maybe I'm still a child
Questioning one's maturity, possibly feeling childish.
Maybe I'm still a child
Repetition for emphasis on the idea of still feeling like a child.
Maybe I'm afraid of adults and I cloak it in commitment and denial
Suggests a fear of adulthood disguised by commitments and denial.
Maybe I'm a child
Reiterating the feeling of being a child.
Another minute and I'm looking at an empty box
Looking at an empty outcome, possibly unfulfilled expectations.
I'll make exceptions for events, but tell me, when do they stop?
Questioning when exceptions to certain rules or norms cease.
I'm reaching new highs
Experiencing personal growth but feeling internally unchanged.
But I'm the same guy
Despite progress, feeling fundamentally the same.
I just have more to lose
Increased stakes in life but a fear of losing more.
Maybe I'm still a child
Reiterating the possibility of still being immature.
Maybe I'm still a child
Emphasizing the idea of feeling like a child.
Maybe I'm afraid of adults and I cloak it in commitment and denial
Repeating fear of adulthood hidden behind commitments and denial.
Maybe I'm a child
Restating the sentiment of feeling like a child.
Maybe I'm still a child
Emphasizing the possibility of still being immature.
Maybe I'm still a child
Repetition to underscore the feeling of being a child.
Maybe I'm afraid of adults, obligation, and the bond of expectation
Fear of adult responsibilities and societal expectations.
All the changes, innovations, and the lasting transformations
Preference for distortion or imbalance over nuanced changes.
Keep your nuance in proportion, I would rather have distortion
Preferential desire for distortion over subtle variations.
Maybe I'm a child
Restates the possibility of feeling like a child.
