Apocryphal Obstacle
Overcoming the Paralysis Within: Death of the Author's Empowering Journey
Lyrics
Paralyzed, indisposed
Feeling paralyzed and unable to act
At the gates facing the unknown
Confronting the unknown at the gates
Choice at hand
Facing a critical choice
Halted by the shield and pike
Stopped by a defensive barrier
Of a stone faced blight
Facing an unyielding and stern obstacle
Enter the crippling doubt
Entering a state of crippling doubt
The stale and slow death
Experiencing a slow and stagnating death
The critic inside
An inner critic emerges
Whispering from the depths
Whispers of doubt from within
“You will fail”
Internalized belief of impending failure
“They won’t understand”
Anticipating a lack of understanding from others
“Why even try?”
Questioning the purpose of trying
“Stay and rot with me, stay here and die!"
Internal conflict, considering giving in to stagnation and despair
I'm tired of this enforced stagnation
Expressing frustration with enforced stagnation
it's time to take action
Deciding to take action against the stagnation
Necrotic figment of isolation
Describing isolation as a decaying illusion
I’m casting you out
Rejecting and expelling the negative influence
You are an impasse
Recognizing the obstacle as an impassable barrier
An obstacle bested
Overcoming the obstructive force
I've wasted so much time
Regret over time wasted in conflict
Fighting a fictional ramshackle sentry
Engaged in a futile battle with an imaginary opponent
Under your watch
Deceived under the influence of the obstacle
I was convinced to believe that I was unworthy
Believing oneself to be unworthy due to deception
An imposter to all, a waste of their time
Feeling like an imposter and a waste of time
I am more than just the sum
Asserting individuality beyond scars and shadows
Of my scars and shadows
Rejecting the influence of a deceitful entity
Get out of my way you lying cretin
Demanding the obstacle to move aside
Today you’re defeated
Claiming victory over the obstructive force
I'm tired of this enforced stagnation
Reiteration of frustration with enforced stagnation
it's time to take action
Renewed commitment to take decisive action
Necrotic figment of isolation
Reiteration of the decay of isolating illusions
I’m casting you out
Final expulsion of the negative influence
