EASY 2 SAY
Navigating Shadows: Embracing Pain and Seeking Light
Lyrics
Pain doesn't get better
Pain is persistent and doesn't necessarily improve over time.
You just forget
Memories of pain may fade, but the pain itself remains.
What feeling good feels like
The difficulty of remembering what it feels like to be truly happy.
Been sad now for a long time
Expressing a prolonged period of sadness.
But I'm doing just fine
Despite the sadness, putting on a facade of being fine.
Yeah I'm okay alright
Asserting that outwardly everything seems okay.
Doing things to get better
Engaging in activities to improve mental well-being.
I changed the scene
Changing one's environment to bring about positive change.
I changed the weather
Manipulating external factors to influence emotions.
Whether or not that actually works
Doubting the effectiveness of the changes made.
It probably won't
Anticipating that the efforts may not yield the desired results.
I'll probably still hurt
Expecting continued emotional pain despite efforts.
It feels easy to say
Expressing the ease of verbalizing well-being, even if untrue.
I've been doing everything to feel okay
Engaging in various activities to achieve a sense of well-being.
Am I avoiding the pain
Questioning whether actions are a distraction from pain.
Or am I trying to stay sane
Reflecting on the motive behind actions - coping or avoidance.
Am I okay?
Questioning one's current mental state.
Trying to cruise but the lanes keep changing
Struggling to navigate life's challenges and changes.
Think I'm in the fast one till my world starts breaking
Feeling like life is moving fast, but encountering setbacks.
Stuck in reverse while they're passing me by
Experiencing setbacks and obstacles in personal progress.
Think I'll fly
Expressing a desire to rise above challenges.
But I just keep falling
Struggling to overcome obstacles and maintain progress.
Trying to take the steps but
Attempting to make progress but facing difficulties.
I'm stuck crawling
Feeling stuck and unable to make significant progress.
I know I'll get there
Believing in eventual success but acknowledging the need for time.
I just need some time
Recognizing that healing and progress take time.
It feels easy to say
Reiterating the ease of verbally claiming well-being.
I've been doing everything to feel okay
Continuing efforts to achieve a sense of well-being.
Am I avoiding the pain
Questioning whether actions are a means of avoiding pain.
Or am I trying to stay sane
Reflecting on the intention behind actions - sanity or avoidance.
Am I okay?
Questioning one's overall mental state and well-being.
Tried investing in therapy
Exploring therapy as a means of addressing mental health.
But I'm tired of the questions that they ask me and I'm thinking
Expressing fatigue with the repetitive nature of therapy.
Nobody else can understand me
Feeling misunderstood by others, creating a sense of isolation.
Open doors inside my mind but they can't find no happy ending
Opening up emotionally but not finding resolution.
I'm swimming up but I just keep sinking
Struggling to overcome challenges and feeling defeated.
Think I'm in the shallows but I'm stuck in the deep end
Feeling stuck in a difficult situation despite efforts.
Know I'm getting closer but I just can't reach it
Perceiving progress but unable to fully attain it.
It feels easy to say
Reiterating the ease of claiming well-being verbally.
I've been doing everything to feel okay
Continuing efforts to achieve a sense of well-being.
Am I avoiding the pain
Questioning whether actions are a way of avoiding pain.
Or am I trying to stay sane
Reflecting on the intention behind actions - sanity or avoidance.
Am I okay?
Questioning one's overall mental state and well-being.
