Too Much
Navigating the Depths: Courtney Hartman's Reflection on Overthinking
Lyrics
soft moon rising far from my home
A peaceful image of the moon rising far away from where I belong.
i cannot concentrate on the task at hand
I struggle to focus on the current task.
any better than i can when i'm alone on familiar land
I can't concentrate better even when I'm alone in a place I know well.
this ought to be easy is what i thought
I expected this to be simple.
but i've never caught a falling star on camera
I've never captured rare moments or experiences successfully.
or kept a firefly alight in a jar
Or retained the essence of something beautiful.
so keep me up all night if you must
If necessary, keep me awake all night.
through the day and into the dusk
Continuously, from day to dusk.
i can't help but over analyze and criticize myself
I tend to excessively analyze and criticize myself.
too much too much too soon
Feeling overwhelmed by too many things happening too quickly.
use a symphony of crickets or a distant engine sound
Use any sound—natural or artificial—to silence the inner voices.
i don't mind what it takes just drown the voices out
It doesn't matter what method is used; just drown out the internal thoughts.
use the pain beneath my feet to put the words into my mouth
Utilize the discomfort or pain to express myself verbally.
wherever and whatever it must take now
Use whatever means necessary to achieve the goal.
the rain is driving, my hands feel old
The rain intensifies, and I feel worn out.
everyone is asking if i'm tired of the cold
Others inquire if I'm tired of enduring difficulties.
i guess that i am
I might be tired, but I acknowledge this weariness.
but my roots need water and my branches need the wind
Despite exhaustion, my core needs nurturing and exposure to new experiences.
i'll come in, i'll come in when i can
I'll come back when I'm able to.
just keep me up all night if you must
If necessary, keep me awake all night.
through the day and into the dusk
Continuously, from day to dusk.
i don't want to over analyze and criticize myself
I don't want to excessively criticize or analyze myself.
too much too much too soon
Feeling overwhelmed by too many things happening too quickly.
