Navigating Lost Dreams: The Heartache of Unfulfilled Promises
Lyrics
It's me that failed
The speaker takes responsibility for a failure.
I can't seem to wake up from this dream
Feeling unable to escape or awaken from a troubling situation.
I drove miles and miles away to reach the sea
The speaker traveled a great distance to reach the sea.
Where the ocean meets the shore, it feels like home
At the meeting point of the ocean and the shore, it feels comforting and familiar.
Waiting to be dragged into the bleak unknown
Anticipating being pulled into an uncertain, desolate future.
Once you run away, you can't turn back
Once you escape, there's no way to return.
You said you needed space, it wasn't that
Someone expressed a need for space, but that wasn’t the true issue.
Don't blame anxiety, you know what's real
Encouraging not to attribute problems solely to anxiety; acknowledging reality.
It's not inside your head, it's me that failed
The problem isn’t a mental issue; it's the speaker's personal failure.
I can't seem to wake up from this dream
Reiteration of feeling trapped in an unchanging situation or mindset.
I drove miles and miles away to reach the sea
Continuation of the journey to the sea, repeating the desire for familiarity.
Where the ocean meets the shore, it feels like home
A sense of belonging and comfort at the convergence of the ocean and shore.
Waiting to be dragged into the bleak unknown
Expectation of being drawn into an uncertain, possibly distressing future.
Once you run away, you can't turn back
Highlighting the irreversible nature of fleeing or escaping.
You said you needed space, it wasn't that
Clarification that the stated need for space wasn’t the root cause.
Don't blame anxiety, you know what's real
Encouraging facing reality rather than attributing problems solely to anxiety.
It's not inside your head, it's me that failed
Reiteration that the issue isn’t a mental problem but the speaker's failure.
It's me that failed
Final acknowledgment of personal responsibility for the failure.
