Stories We Tell Ourselves
Embracing Life's Inconsistencies: Cut Your Losses' Journey
Lyrics
The sun can't make up its mind
The sun's inconsistency parallels the lack of consistency in the singer's life.
It's shining in intervals in through my blinds
The intermittent sunlight enters through the blinds, mirroring the inconsistency felt by the singer.
Just like I can't seem to find a sense of consistency in my own life
The singer struggles to find stability and consistency in their own life.
So l'll cover my eyes again
The singer shields their eyes from reality, avoiding confronting their situation.
And wait for the sun to set
They wait for a time when they feel it's more manageable to face reality.
When I finally open them
Upon opening their eyes, there's a hope to forget the struggles they face.
I'm really hoping that I'll forget
The desire to forget or escape from their difficulties persists.
You can't change the things that you lack
Acceptance of personal limitations, recognizing one's shortcomings.
Another long winter that's barren and black
Reference to a bleak, desolate period (metaphorically or literally).
You're not sure if you can with withstand
Doubt about enduring hardships or challenges.
Time slips through your fingers like crystals of sand
A sense of time slipping away without control, emphasizing a feeling of loss.
So you'll cover your eyes again
Repeating the act of avoiding confronting reality by covering one's eyes.
Swear that you'll never get out of bed
A promise or determination not to face the difficulties ahead.
You're supposed to feel better but when you wake up you feel worse instead
Contrasting expectations of feeling better upon waking versus feeling worse.
But everyone tells you it's all in your head
Others' attempts to reassure despite the internal struggle and awareness of it.
As if you don't already know that
An acknowledgment of self-awareness despite external reassurances.
If you manifest happiness, you can do whatever you set your mind to
Encouragement to manifest happiness but hindered by a sense of inadequacy.
But my mind's too heavy with the emptiness of knowing I will never be enough
Feeling burdened by an overwhelming sense of insufficiency.
I've been feeling like my heart is on the floor
A profound emotional state of feeling utterly broken and vulnerable.
The way the world is walking all over it
Perceiving the world's actions as consistently hurtful or indifferent.
And I scream but no one seems to hear me at all
A sense of helplessness and isolation despite efforts to communicate.
So I crawl
Choosing to retreat or withdraw from the overwhelming circumstances.
Right out of my shell
A decision to break free from the current situation or state of mind.
I'm done with this hell I've been living in
A declaration to overcome the torment or struggles.
I won't let it get the best of me
Determination not to succumb to the challenges faced.
And I'm a wreck but you can have whatever's left of me and make it your own
Offering what's left of themselves to someone else despite feeling broken.
I'll be your home if you're mine
Expressing willingness to be a support or sanctuary for someone else.
Fuck!
An exclamation, possibly indicating frustration or intense emotion.
And I know that sometimes you might feel like I don't even try, but I swear I'm fine
Assuring others of being okay despite internal struggles, potentially masking true feelings.
