Lost in Los Angeles
Lost in Regret: A Journey of Reflection
Lyrics
When I woke up that morning
Reflecting on the morning when a realization occurred
Opened my eyes, you'd gone away
Realizing that someone significant has left
I knew the second the scene had changed
Awareness of a major shift in circumstances
I had made a huge mistake
Regret for a significant mistake made
Each step gets harder every day
Expressing the increasing difficulty of each step
When I see my (see my) shadow start to fade
Noticing a fading sense of self or identity
Ohio left me desperate (desperate) with nothing (nothing) left to say
Feeling desperate and having nothing meaningful to say, possibly related to leaving Ohio
(CHORUS)
Questioning the purpose and value of past actions, expressing a desire for change
So was it all for nothing (nothing)
-Or did we stand for something (something)
-We waste away we've lost it all
-But I wish you woulda changed
-Wish you woulda changed
-Woke up again this morning, I sorted things out from last night
Awakening to a new day and addressing issues from the previous night
(Take the pain away)
Seeking relief from emotional pain
You play me out like a fiddle, still feeling brittle, you make me feel so little
Feeling manipulated and diminished by someone
Tell me how you can torment the ones who help when you're down
Questioning the behavior of someone who mistreats those who support them
Wander the streets of New York City in a daze trying to swallow my own pity
Lost and confused in New York City, struggling with self-pity
Somehow I still picture you're face even in hell where I've lost my faith
Imagining the face of a person even in difficult circumstances, indicating unresolved feelings
(CHORUS)
Repeating the chorus, expressing uncertainty and pain over a relationship
So was it all for nothing (nothing)
-Or did we stand for something (something)
-We waste away we've lost it all
-But I wish you woulda changed
-So was it all for nothing (nothing)
-A thousand missed calls (missed calls)
-And you couldn't even answer to tell me we're nothing at all (nothing at all)
-(I'm not okay)
Struggling emotionally, not okay with how things have turned out, and questioning the meaning of life
It's not okay how we left everything
-(I'm not okay)
-To be so far away from who we used to be
-(I'm not okay)
-I'm chasing city lights, I'm barely getting by
-(I'm not okay)
-High after high, do you think this is living life
-This isn't how I pictured mine
Expressing disappointment with how life has unfolded compared to expectations
So was it all for nothing (nothing)
Reiterating the uncertainty and questioning the significance of the relationship
Or did we stand for something (stand for something)
-One more day, one last call to know (call to know)
-We're nothing at all
