Washed Out
Washed Out: Embracing Self-Discovery Amidst Struggles
Lyrics
And I've been dulling my senses, leaving me senseless to the damage I've sustained
Expressing a numbing of senses, unaware of the damage endured.
And so it seems
Acknowledging a situation or realization.
I can't leave well enough alone
Struggling to accept or be content with the status quo.
My issues unresolved and self diagnosed
Having unresolved issues and self-diagnosed problems.
Led myself to believe
Convincing oneself of a negative outlook on improvement.
Things won't get better for someone like me
Expressing pessimism about personal improvement.
Watch my world fall through my hands
Witnessing a loss of control over one's life.
Too hard to adjust, my eyes just roll back
Difficulty adapting, feeling overwhelmed.
Tell me how it feels
Seeking understanding of the emotional experience.
To watch progress form into something real
Inquiring about the feeling of witnessing tangible progress.
My pride and fear, they keep me here
Conflicting emotions of pride and fear preventing change.
Staring at the ceiling
Symbolic act of contemplation or stagnation.
I'll pick up the pieces to emulate a better point of view
Committing to self-improvement for a better perspective.
And I'd come up for air
Struggling to take a break or find relief.
But it's been too hard to care anymore
Expressing apathy and difficulty caring.
(What's the point?)
Questioning the purpose or significance.
That I might be worth waiting for?
Doubting personal worthiness of waiting for change.
Convinced I spent what confidence I had
Believing confidence has been wasted and won't return.
On something that's never coming back
Regret over investing in something irretrievable.
Watch my world fall through my hands
Reiterating the sense of losing control over life.
I fail to adjust time and time again
Difficulty adapting repeatedly over time.
Tell me how it feels
Repeating the desire to understand the experience of progress.
To watch progress form into something real
Conflicting emotions hindering personal growth.
My pride and fear, they keep me here
Acknowledging a state of being "washed out," depleted.
I know now that I'm washed out
Reaffirming a realization of being washed out.
Yeah I'm washed out
Repeating the sentiment of feeling depleted.
The blame finds a broken home on my shoulders
Attributing blame to oneself for difficulties.
The blame finds a broken home on my shoulders
Repeating the theme of self-blame for challenges.
Vanity ran through my veins
Admitting to a past sense of vanity and self-absorption.
So I'll set myself free
Expressing a desire for self-liberation.
Set myself free
Reiterating the intent to free oneself from negative influences.
Tell me how it feels
Repeating the inquiry about the emotional experience of progress.
To watch progress form into something real
Repeating the conflict between pride, fear, and personal growth.
My pride and fear, they keep me here
Acknowledging the state of being washed out with certainty.
I know now that I'm washed out
Repeating the affirmation of feeling washed out.
Yeah I'm washed out
Reiterating the sentiment of being depleted or worn out.
Being self aware won't excuse this behavior
Recognizing self-awareness without excusing negative behavior.
