Flux
Navigating Life's Paradox: Eleni Drake's 'Flux' Unraveled
Lyrics
Coming down from the ceiling
Feeling a descent or emotional low
And I fall through all the cracks
Experiencing vulnerability and difficulties
Call my name and I'll redeem it, honey
Expressing a willingness to make amends when called upon
Speeding through those railway tracks
Moving swiftly through challenges or obstacles
Funny how I didn't notice the sun when
Reflecting on not appreciating positive moments
It shone directly on my back
Realizing the significance of a positive experience
Funny how the only thing I know is
Acknowledging a limited understanding of life
I've learnt to give the love I lack
Recognizing personal growth in giving love despite lacking it
But on the other hand
Questioning if a detailed plan was sacrificed
Did I lose my master plan
Uncertainty about losing a sense of direction or purpose
Just to gain my peace of mind right back
Gaining peace of mind as a worthwhile trade-off
On the other hand
Considering alternative perspectives and emotions
Is it meant to hurt this bad
Questioning the intensity of emotional pain
When the things you want, don't want you back
Expressing the disappointment when desires are unreciprocated
But I've learnt to deal with it
Adapting and coping with unfulfilled desires
Feeling like I'm always drowning
Feeling overwhelmed and struggling
And I can't seem to swim away
Unable to escape or overcome challenges
Walked the earth and learnt somethings
Gaining knowledge through life experiences
The things I want won't give me peace
Realizing that desired things may not bring inner peace
And I don't care I missed the party
Indifference towards missing out on social events
I wanna sleep it all away
Desiring to escape through sleep
But I forget I don't sleep often
Forgetting the difficulty in finding rest
So silence is my company
Finding solace in solitude
But on the other hand
Revisiting the theme of sacrificing a plan for peace
Did I lose my master plan
Reflecting on the worthiness of the trade-off
Just to gain my peace of mind right back
Reiterating the positive outcome of gaining peace of mind
On the other hand
Reconsidering the pain associated with unfulfilled desires
Is it meant to hurt this bad
Questioning the normality of the emotional distress
When the things you want, don't want you back
Expressing the frustration of unreciprocated desires
But I guess that's fine by me
Accepting the situation as tolerable
