For Getting the View
Embracing Solitude: Finding Beauty Amidst Chaos in 'For Getting the View'
Lyrics
My neck's been caught between the hands
Feeling trapped or restricted, possibly in a relationship.
Of the arms that circle me
Being surrounded by influences or people.
And honestly, trying to breathe is tiring
Struggling to cope with difficulties, finding it exhausting.
Called in late again from my house
Received a call to work late, impacting personal life.
Lied about leaving, I'll be fine
Telling a lie about leaving and assuring well-being.
I don't mind the lecture
Open to receiving advice or criticism.
But sometimes when I get up
Feeling overwhelmed when trying to stand up.
The floor consumes me whole
Sensation of being consumed or overwhelmed by surroundings.
I'll try my best to climb out
Attempting to improve the situation but facing obstacles.
But it won't let me go
Unable to break free from a difficult circumstance.
It's almost 5:15
Noticing a specific time, possibly significant.
A light that's turning green
A signal or opportunity for change or escape.
Can only mean one thing
Anticipating a crucial moment.
It's time to flee the scene
Deciding to leave or escape from a situation.
Sorry
An expression of regret or apology.
Later, I had arrived
Arriving at a location later in the day.
Drenched in only feeling like
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or saturated.
I'm gonna hate the way today
Expecting a challenging or unpleasant day.
Ends up being anyway
Anticipating disappointment in the day's outcome.
But once I found a spot
Discovering a positive or enjoyable spot.
Up at the very top
Ascending to a high point or achieving success.
And I had stepped outside
Stepping outside and overlooking surroundings.
It must've slipped my mind
Forgetting the positive aspects of a situation.
How great this feeling is
Recalling the joy or happiness of a particular moment.
The wind blows me a kiss
Experiencing a pleasant and uplifting sensation.
The sun is going down
Observing the sunset or the end of a cycle.
There's no one else around
Being alone and appreciating the beauty of the moment.
Just pinks and blues and me and
Surrounded by calming and soothing colors.
On my left the sea
A view of the sea, representing vastness and depth.
I wish the view could be reflected
Wishing the positive experience could be internalized.
Inside, I had just neglected
Neglecting to recognize the positive aspects within.
How right before the shifts
Realizing the value of positive moments before challenges.
Came like a burning fist
Feeling the impact of difficult or challenging situations.
I could appreciate what made the sunset great
Recognizing and appreciating the beauty of a sunset.
Instead of honing in on what made me feel sick
Focusing on negative aspects rather than positive ones.
Between all the hotels I swore I lost myself
Feeling lost or disoriented among various pressures.
