The Ground
Navigating Heart and Mind: The Ground's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
My head told my heart
Conflict between rationality (head) and emotions (heart).
To stay out of it's business
Desire to maintain a separation between rational thought and emotions.
It wanted control
The rational side seeks dominance/control without causing emotional harm.
And not to hurt it's feelings
Concern for not causing emotional distress.
I told myself
Self-admonishment to avoid overthinking.
To stay out of what I was thinking
Struggle to disengage from thoughts/emotions.
How can I help myself when it's how I'm feeling
Awareness of inability to control feelings despite trying.
I can't keep
Difficulty in stopping self-destructive behaviors.
Running myself to the ground
Continuously exhausting oneself.
Like I do
Repetitive self-harming actions.
All I need
Desire for stability or support.
Is something to hold onto
Yearning for something dependable.
And when you get in my head
When influenced by another, distraction from personal struggles.
You give me something
Another person provides mental relief or diversion.
To think about insteadVerse two
Being occupied with thoughts induced by someone else.
I spent all my time
Spending time in introspection.
Watching the spaces
Focusing on gaps or distance between oneself and others.
That grow between me
Feeling disconnected from people and surroundings.
All of the people, all of the places
Others have understanding or familiarity.
They always knew me
Sense of being known by others.
And I'm sinking in
Immersing deeper into personal struggles.
To all of the places that are still dark in my heart
Areas within oneself that remain unresolved or troubled.
Stuck in a battle, caught in a war
Caught in a conflict between moral choices.
Between my right and wrong
Internal struggle between what is right and what is wrong.
