Know When To Quit
Breaking Chains: Defying Common Sense and Embracing Stubborn Dreams
Lyrics
Madness is
Expressing a state of madness or chaos
These calluses
Referring to toughened areas on the skin, symbolizing enduring challenges
I've been holding on so long
Holding on persistently for a considerable time
Fingers frozen
Describing physical numbness and inability to open hands
My palms won't open
Continued difficulty in releasing a grip
Time keeps passing
Acknowledging the passage of time
But my grasp
Despite time passing, maintaining a strong hold
Is everlasting
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the grasp
And you want to move on
Addressing a desire to move forward
But I'm not ready
Resistance to letting go due to unreadiness
To give this up
Unwillingness to abandon aspirations and goals
My dreams won't let me
Commitment to dreams despite external pressure
Well, common sense says
Contrasting with common sense, emphasizing resistance
Know when to quit
Advising to recognize when it's appropriate to stop
But my ego's broken
Acknowledging a fractured sense of self-esteem
I can't let go yet
Inability to release due to damaged self-perception
I'll confess
Open admission of stubbornness
My stubbornness
Stubbornness hindering the ability to let go
Is keeping me from letting go
Resistance to change and holding onto the familiar
Change is freaky
Change is unsettling and discomforting
Makes me uneasy
Feeling uneasy about surrendering to change
Surrender's never been
Resistance to surrendering, not the typical approach
My M.O., no
Declaring a pattern of not surrendering (Modus Operandi)
And you want to move on
Expressing a desire to move on
But I'm not quite ready
Not fully prepared to let go of the current situation
To put this aside
Hesitation to set aside something important
My pride won't let me
Pride preventing the act of letting go
Well, common sense says
Contradiction with common sense, resisting advice
Know when to quit
Reiterating the importance of knowing when to quit
But my ego's broken
Reinforcing the internal struggle to release
I can't let go yet
Repeating the inability to let go
Can't let go yet
Emphasizing the enduring struggle of not letting go
Well, common sense says
Reiterating the importance of recognizing when to quit
Know when to quit
Advising to acknowledge when it's time to stop
But my ego's broken
Highlighting a persistent struggle due to damaged self-worth
I can't let go yet
Repeating the difficulty in letting go
So keep your penchant
Warning against a tendency for unnecessary worry
For apprehension
Encouraging to avoid unnecessary anxiety
Cause from now on
Expressing determination to move forward from now on
I'm moving forward
Commitment to progress and leaving the past behind
