Lyrics
Today was unexpected
Today brought unexpected events or circumstances.
Nothing here is how I left it
Things are not as they were when I last encountered them.
Each day that passes by
Every passing day contributes to a falsehood or deception.
Just seems to feed the lie
Time seems to reinforce a lie.
Closing in around me
Surrounding pressures are closing in and making it difficult to perceive clearly.
Makes it so hard to see
The intensity of the situation obscures my vision.
And now I'm standing on a ledge
Standing on a ledge, possibly metaphorical, feeling on the verge of something.
My foot creeps closer to the edge
Approaching a critical point, possibly a decision or action with consequences.
Friends all know what to say
Friends offer advice that unintentionally pushes them away.
To make me push them away
External influence causes distancing from well-meaning friends.
What they can't know about me
Hidden aspects of the self create difficulty in relationships.
Makes it so hard to see
The obscured truth about oneself makes understanding challenging.
I'm not holding my tongue for you anymore
Refusing to remain silent or restrained for someone else's sake.
I'll scream so loud til I drown you out
Expressing emotions loudly to drown out external influences.
Now you can't hold me down anymore
Breaking free from constraints or oppression.
I'll scream so loud
Loudly asserting independence or freedom.
I'll scream so loud til I drown you out
Continuing to assert independence through vocal expression.
So many days of silence
Many days filled with silence and internal struggle.
Too many destructive ways to vent
Various harmful ways of releasing pent-up emotions.
I hope they set something free
Hoping to liberate something within, unaware of external threats.
Didn't know they were out to kill me
Unaware of the danger posed by external forces.
Today I'll turn it all around
Committing to a positive change in one's life.
Pick myself off the ground
Picking oneself up after a challenging situation.
Sweat all the sickness out
Physically and metaphorically purging negativity.
Force all the demons down
Confronting and overcoming personal demons.
Stand up and set it straight
Taking a stand and addressing issues directly.
Get it right before it's too late
Correcting mistakes before it's too late.
For now I'm feeling fine
Feeling good about the current situation.
Left all the pain behind
Leaving behind emotional pain.
It's time to live my life
Embracing a new phase of life.
I finally got it right
Achieving a positive and desired state.
I'm not holding my tongue for you anymore
No longer holding back thoughts or feelings for someone else's benefit.
I'll scream so loud til I drown you out
Continuing to express emotions loudly to assert personal space.
Now you can't hold me down
Breaking free from external constraints or control.
I can still taste the words on my tongue
Recalling past insincere assurances or agreements.
Saying we're okay
Loudly expressing discontent with falsely claimed okayness.
But when I raise my head up to see the darker side
Recognizing a darker, less authentic side of a situation or oneself.
That isn't me
Rejecting an inauthentic representation of oneself.
So now I raise my hands up
Raising hands in surrender or protest against further compromise.
So tired of giving in
Fed up with yielding and ready to start anew.
Throw this all away and start again
Contemplating discarding current circumstances for a fresh beginning.
I'm not holding my tongue for you anymore
Refusing to suppress thoughts or emotions for others.
I'll scream so loud til I drown you out
Continuing to express emotions loudly to assert personal boundaries.
Now you can't hold me down anymore
Successfully breaking free from external control or influence.
