This Life
Navigating Life's Hollow Realities
Lyrics
Sometimes I feel it all just pass me by
Sometimes, the speaker feels detached as life progresses.
And wonder what I'm doing with my life
The speaker questions the purpose and direction of their life.
Tell me what it's like to feel alive
Seeking understanding of what it truly means to feel alive.
Tell me how I got here in this life
Reflecting on how the speaker arrived at their current life situation.
Life feels surreal to me sometimes
Life feels unreal or dreamlike at times for the speaker.
Feel like a ghost drifting through time
The speaker feels like a spectral presence moving through time.
Watch it all just pass me by
Observing life passing by without actively participating.
A passenger in my own life
Feeling like a mere observer rather than the driver of their own life.
I’ve been waiting on a sign
Expressing anticipation for a meaningful sign or direction.
It never comes it never shines
Frustration at the absence of the awaited sign or guidance.
Sometimes I wake in the dead of night
Experiencing unsettling moments, possibly due to nightmares.
Demons chase me outta my mind
Feeling pursued by internal struggles and negative thoughts.
Is this real, open my eyes
Questioning the reality of the situation, needing to open their eyes.
But I don't recognize my own life
Feeling a lack of recognition or familiarity with their own life.
Sometimes I wake in the dead of night
Repeating the unsettling wake-up experience from line 14.
Nightmares haunting me tonight
Nightmares persisting and haunting the speaker.
It never ends it just rewinds
A sense of cyclical repetition without resolution.
And I wake up stuck in this life
Feeling trapped or stuck in an unchanging life situation.
Hollow strangers float on by
Encountering individuals who seem emotionally distant and hollow.
With hollow feelings just like mine
Shared experiences of emptiness with those around the speaker.
They don't look me in the eye
Others avoid direct connection or acknowledgment of the speaker.
They don't notice I'm alive
Feeling unnoticed and overlooked by those in the speaker's surroundings.
I can't fill this void inside
The speaker is unable to fill a profound emptiness within.
With empty lies and compromise
Attempting to cope with unfulfilled desires through deception and compromise.
Fill me up, replant my mind
Expressing a need for emotional fulfillment and a reset of mindset.
Teach me to dream inside the lines
Desiring guidance on how to envision and pursue meaningful dreams.
Dreams so vague I can't define
Dreams and aspirations are unclear or difficult to define.
I've lost my way and there's no sign
The speaker feels lost without clear direction or guidance.
Pour a drink to numb my mind
Using substances to numb the mind and escape from reality.
Same routine another night
Engaging in a repetitive and unfulfilling routine.
What is waiting on the other side
Pondering about what awaits on the other side of their current existence.
Spin the barrel change my mind
Considering a drastic change in perspective or decisions.
Play a game to pass the time
Using activities or distractions to pass the time.
Heads I lose and tails I die
Playing with the idea of risk and consequences in decision-making.
