Losing My Religion
Unraveling Life's Tapestry: Losing My Religion by Darlan Corradi
Lyrics
Oh life is bigger
Life is vast and significant
It's bigger than you
Life is larger than an individual
And you are not me
Recognizing individual differences
The lengths that I will go to
Expressing readiness to go to great lengths
The distance in your eyes
Noticing emotional distance
Oh no I've said too much
Regretting oversharing
I set it up
Taking responsibility for a situation
That's me in the corner
Self-awareness of being in a challenging situation
That's me in the spot-light
Feeling exposed and vulnerable
Losing my religion
Experiencing a crisis of faith or identity
Trying to keep up with you
Attempting to match someone's pace
And I don't know if I can do it
Expressing uncertainty about coping
Oh no I've said too much
Regretting overcommunication
I haven't said enough
Feeling the need to say more
I thought that I heard you laughing
Perceiving laughter, possibly at oneself
I thought that I heard you sing
Interpreting sounds as singing
I think I thought I saw you try
Believing someone is making an effort
Every whisper, of every waking hour
Every moment being significant
I'm choosing my confessions
Choosing what to confess or reveal
Trying to keep an eye on you
Monitoring someone closely
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Feeling hurt, lost, and foolish
Oh no I've said too much
Regretting words spoken
I set it up
Taking responsibility for a situation
Consider this
Asking for consideration
Consider this the hint of the century
Describing a significant clue
Consider this the slip
Referring to a mistake
That brought me to my knees, failed
Describing a failure
What if all these fantasies come
Contemplating unrealistic thoughts
Flailing around
Being disoriented or confused
Now I've said too much
Regretting further communication
I thought that I heard you laughing
Perceiving laughter again
I thought that I heard you sing
Interpreting sounds as singing again
I think I thought I saw you try
Believing someone is making an effort again
But that was just a dream
Realizing a previous perception was a dream
That was just a dream
Emphasizing the illusory nature of the dream
That's me in the corner
Self-awareness of being in a challenging situation again
That's me in the spot-light
Feeling exposed and vulnerable again
Losing my religion
Experiencing a crisis of faith or identity again
Trying to keep up with you
Attempting to match someone's pace again
And I don't know if I can do it
Expressing uncertainty about coping again
Oh no I've said too much
Regretting overcommunication again
I haven't said enough
Feeling the need to say more again
I thought that I heard you laughing
Perceiving laughter again
I thought that I heard you sing
Interpreting sounds as singing again
I think I thought I saw you try
Believing someone is making an effort again
But that was just a dream
Realizing a previous perception was a dream
Try, cry, fly, try
Expressing attempts, emotions, and failures
That was just a dream
Emphasizing the illusory nature of the dream
Just a dream
Highlighting the dream as merely imaginary
Just a dream, dream
Reiterating the dream's fictional nature
