I've Sat and Watched
Navigating Life's Maze: A Reflection Through 'I've Sat and Watched'
Lyrics
If life's such a big maze
Life is complex and confusing like a maze.
At least there's still some way
There's still hope or opportunity to navigate through life.
To find the right headspace
Looking for a mentally clear and positive state of mind.
I keep waiting for that day
Awaiting a future where things make more sense.
Cause I'm with my friends today
Presently enjoying time with friends.
But tomorrow I'm far away
Anticipating being physically distant from them tomorrow.
In an unfamiliar state
Feeling disconnected in an unfamiliar place.
That my brain can't contemplate
Struggling to understand or process the unfamiliar surroundings mentally.
I've sat and watched these years just fly past
Reflecting on time passing by without active involvement.
Alive in my mind like a broadcast
Memories of the past years feel vivid and present.
And I've learned that nothing lasts
Realization that nothing remains permanent.
Like the stain on my brain
Memories or experiences leave a lasting impact on the mind.
Even time that seemed so vast
Perceived lengthy periods of time now seem fleeting.
Now I've put myself to blame
Feeling responsible or guilty for personal circumstances.
Am I to young to be losing the time game
Questioning if it's too early to feel the pressure of losing time.
Cause it's slipping away
Feeling that time is slipping away rapidly.
Into the back of my mind
Memories or experiences are fading into the subconscious.
Leaving that simple life behind
Leaving behind a simpler, less complicated life.
I've sat and watched these months turn into weeks
Observing months passing quickly and turning into shorter periods.
Now it's just days guess I've lost the peace
Realizing the loss of tranquility as time passes.
Cause how can I find success in society
Struggling to find personal success in societal standards.
They're never pleased until my money goes to university
Feeling pressured to pursue education for societal approval.
But it's time I take it on my own
Realizing the need for personal responsibility and independence.
I can't keep looking back, cause I'm already grown
Recognizing maturity and the need to focus on the present.
I can't just keep ignoring my overflowing phone
Acknowledging the need to address responsibilities.
Cause if I don't keep in touch, I'm bound to be alone
Fearing isolation if not maintaining connections.
I've sat and watched my life flash before my eyes
Reflecting on the past experiences flashing through the mind.
How could I not realize
Regretting a lack of realization or awareness earlier.
Yeah I've been fucking around since 2005
Acknowledging past mistakes or wasting time.
Now I've gotta start my life just waiting for that 5 hour drive
Realizing the need to begin life seriously after a period of indecision.
Now I ain't gonna waste any more time
Commitment to not waste any more time.
They say follow your dreams
Encouragement to pursue personal dreams despite limitations.
And the limits are defied
Belief that surpassing boundaries is possible when pursuing dreams.
Nobody knows, what they're gonna find
Uncertainty about what lies ahead.
But cause I've sat and watched it's all been defined
Realization that past actions define the present.
