Can't Carry On
Midnight Reflections: A Journey Through Inner Turmoil
Lyrics
Why do I kid myself
Questioning self-deception or false hope
Why do I scream for pleasure
Expressing pleasure in a way that feels conflicting or contradictory
It's four in the morning should know better
Realizing the late hour but unable to resist a compelling force
But she can weave a spell
Acknowledging someone's captivating influence
Want it to last forever
Desire for a moment to extend indefinitely
Making me feel like somebody special
Feeling valued or esteemed by someone
Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
Recognizing the need to stop current behavior and rest
Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)
Advising to halt actions before negative consequences escalate
Doing damage to my brain
Acknowledging harm being done to mental faculties
Well here we go again
Resigned acknowledgment of recurring pattern
Though I look everywhere
Search for something elusive or intangible
I never seem to find it
Frustration in the perpetual inability to find what's sought
Always a shadow around a corner
Constant sense of impending difficulty or trouble
Drown it in alcohol
Using alcohol to cope or numb emotional pain
Stuck in the elevator
Feeling stuck or trapped in a situation
Hard to remember in the morning
Difficulty recalling events due to intoxication
Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
Reiterating the need to halt destructive behavior and rest
Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)
Urging to stop before the situation worsens
Doing damage to my brain
Reinforcing the notion of harm being inflicted on the mind
Well here we go again
Accepting the repetition of a familiar cycle
Tell you about myself
Offering to share personal information
If you're in the mood to listen
Willingness to communicate if the other person is receptive
Baby you don't know who you're kissing
Warning about misunderstanding the depth of connections
This is a lonely world
Portraying the world as isolating or disconnected
You are a strange companion
Describing someone as peculiar or unfamiliar
When you get what you wanted
Behavior of wanting to depart upon fulfillment of desires
You want to leave
Desire to leave once personal needs are met
Honestly I want to free myself
Expressing a genuine desire for personal liberation
From the burden of inaction
Seeking relief from the burden of not taking action
Honestly I want to raise myself
Aspiring to elevate oneself to any possible level
To any plane I can imagine
Yearning for personal growth and exploration
Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
Reiterating the urgency to halt damaging actions and rest
Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)
Emphasizing the need to avoid worsening the situation
Doing damage to my brain
Highlighting the detrimental effects on mental faculties
Well here we go again
Acknowledging the repetition of the problematic cycle
