Big Mistake
Navigating Life's Labyrinth: Big Mistake by Elizabeth Fader
Lyrics
This isn't how the story is meant to go
This is a deviation from the expected storyline.
The sky is dark, the clouds are hanging low
The atmosphere is gloomy, and challenges are present.
I've seen the snake and I have smelled the rose
Experiences both positive (rose) and negative (snake) have been encountered.
I back away, I let the wind blow
Choosing to step back and let things unfold naturally.
This feels unfamiliar, I know
Feeling uncertain or out of place.
I'm right where I wanna be
Content with the current situation.
With a sense of urgency
A feeling of importance or significance.
Every day is see all the warning signs
Recognizing potential problems in daily life.
Something pulls me past them every single time
Repeatedly ignoring warnings, drawn to something beyond.
To where light plays tricks on my mind
Being in a place where perception is distorted.
I keep looking because I know I am going to find
Persistent search for something valuable despite challenges.
A place unfamiliar, I know
Feeling out of place yet again.
I'm right where I wanna be
Content despite the unfamiliar surroundings.
With a sense of urgency
A sense of urgency to be where they are.
A place so peculiar I know
Being in a strange and distinctive place.
I'm right where I need to be
Feeling a necessity to be in that peculiar place.
Deep in curiosity
Deeply immersed in curiosity about their surroundings.
I've been tricked, I have been loved
Experiencing deception and affection in relationships.
I've been the pusher and I have been shoved
Having both pushed and been pushed in life.
Now i know it would be easier to just play it safe
Realizing the appeal of a safer, less challenging life.
Settle down with my big mistake
Considering settling for a comfortable but unfulfilling choice.
I'm surprised to find i'm not tired
Surprised by the lack of fatigue despite challenges.
After I have walked that wire so long
Reflecting on enduring challenges and still wanting something more.
And maybe I would have it some other way
Considering an alternate path if given the chance.
If I didn't have something that I wanna say
Having a desire to express oneself despite the challenges faced.
