Another Day
Confronting Shadows: Journey through Emotional Turmoil
Lyrics
I haven't felt much in a year
I have not experienced much emotional intensity in the past year.
You know I buried all my fears
I have intentionally hidden and overcome all my fears.
Under the rosebush in the yard
I've metaphorically buried my fears beneath a rosebush in the yard.
The scent keeps drawing me back in
The fragrance of the rosebush continues to attract me.
I prick my thumbs again and again
I repeatedly hurt myself, perhaps metaphorically, in dealing with the challenges.
No one told me it would be this hard
No one warned me that facing difficulties would be this challenging.
And I swear I'll dig it up again someday
I express determination to confront my buried fears again in the future.
We've got nothing but time
We have plenty of time; time is not a constraint.
Won't you build me a shrine
A request for someone to create a sacred place or memorial for me.
We can make an offering
Suggesting the possibility of making an offering to ward off negative influences.
Keep ghosts away
The offering aims to keep ghosts, symbolizing troubles, away.
I swear I'll deal with them another day
A commitment to dealing with problems at a later date.
Sometimes I wake up in the night
At times, I wake up during the night.
Wonder who turned off the light
Expressing uncertainty about the cause of darkness or challenges.
I toss and turn to no avail
I struggle to find a solution, tossing and turning without success.
Count my breaths like dancing sheep and
Engaging in a calming ritual of counting breaths to induce sleep.
Hope they carry me to sleep
Hoping that this ritual will lead to peaceful sleep without confronting deeper issues.
Without seeing beyond the veil
Avoiding looking beyond the surface, refusing to see the underlying problems.
And I swear I'll sleep so soundly someday soon
A commitment to eventually achieve restful and sound sleep.
We've got nothing but time
We have plenty of time; time is not a constraint.
Won't you build me a shrine
A request for someone to create a sacred place or memorial for me (repeated).
We can make an offering
Suggesting the possibility of making an offering to ward off negative influences (repeated).
Keep ghosts away
The offering aims to keep ghosts, symbolizing troubles, away (repeated).
I swear I'll deal with them another day
A commitment to dealing with problems at a later date (repeated).
Hey
An informal greeting or attempt to get someone's attention.
A stiff drink, a side of lime
A suggestion that a strong drink with lime should be enough to calm my mind.
Should be enough to ease my mind
Despite attempts to find solace, the problems persist.
But the rocks still have too much to say
The external environment still has a significant impact on my state of mind.
Invite it in or keep it out
A decision to either welcome or reject external influences.
My mind is on a seesaw now
My mental state is currently unstable and fluctuating.
I'll get off another day
I will address my mental state on another day.
Oh I swear that I'll get off another day
A commitment to addressing mental health issues in the future.
We've got nothing but time
We have plenty of time; time is not a constraint (repeated).
Won't you build me a shrine
A request for someone to create a sacred place or memorial for me (repeated).
We can make an offering
Suggesting the possibility of making an offering to ward off negative influences (repeated).
Keep ghosts away
The offering aims to keep ghosts, symbolizing troubles, away (repeated).
I know you see through
A recognition that someone understands the small actions taken to manage internal struggles.
All the little things I do
A acknowledgment of efforts to keep personal demons under control.
Just to keep my monsters tied up in chains
The intention to deal with personal challenges in the future.
I swear I'll deal with them another
A repetition of the commitment to addressing personal challenges later.
Swear I'll deal with them another
A reaffirmation of the commitment to dealing with personal challenges at a later date.
Swear I'll deal with them another day
A final reaffirmation of the commitment to addressing personal challenges in the future.
