The Optimist
Embracing Shadows: The Optimist's Struggle with Inner Turmoil
Lyrics
Woke up and the sun's in my face feel the warm glow
Expressing a positive start to the day with the sun shining on the face, feeling a warm glow.
I like to say that I ain't got no complaints but I don't know
Uncertainty about having no complaints, suggesting potential hidden concerns.
And I been livin' for the minute just taking the time slow
Living in the present moment and taking time slowly.
But I can't see, need the shade down but I can't get myself up
Feeling the need for shade but struggling to overcome a personal obstacle.
Woke up and the sun's in my face feel the warm glow
Repetition of the struggle with self and the desire for shade, emphasizing a recurring theme.
I like to say that I ain't got no complaints but I don't know
-And I been livin' for the minute just taking the time slow
-But I can't see, need the shade down but I can't get myself up
-Optimistic, how I'm thinkin' though I'm wishin'
Expressing optimism in thoughts despite personal challenges.
That I wasn't so caught up in it feel like I'm drownin' when I'm swimmin'
Feeling overwhelmed despite positive thoughts, using swimming as a metaphor for navigating difficulties.
I been lower than low on my best day
Reflecting on past experiences of extreme lows.
But she rub my back and make it all okay
Finding comfort and support from someone close during tough times.
I been having nightmare dreams it ain't no fantasy
Experiencing distressing dreams, acknowledging a harsh reality.
I been thinking 'bout heaven and hell there ain't no land to see
Contemplating existential questions about heaven and hell.
Wonder what it's like to wake up and just not see the sun
Wondering about a life without sunlight, expressing fear and anticipation.
Prayin' that I never see that day but waiting for that day to come
Praying to avoid a challenging day while paradoxically waiting for it.
Woke up and the sun's in my face feel the warm glow
Repetition of the struggle with self and the desire for shade, emphasizing a recurring theme.
I like to say that I ain't got no complaints but I don't know
-And I been livin' for the minute just taking the time slow
-But I can't see, need the shade down but I can't get myself up
-Spendin' time by my lonesome got me going insane
Isolation leading to mental strain and a sense of losing oneself.
I been losin' myself and I haven't spoke to you in days
Communication breakdown, not having spoken to someone for days.
Thoughts bouncin' around I can't hear the sound of my own name
Internal turmoil, thoughts overwhelming the ability to recognize one's own identity.
They're callin' but I am paralyzed from my toes to my brain
Feeling paralyzed and unable to respond to external calls or obligations.
I can't get up I'm fallin' over and over again
Struggling repeatedly and feeling stuck in a cycle of falling.
I'm mad in love but I always fear for the end
Expressing a mix of love and fear, anticipating an eventual end.
And I've sinned one too many times I'm feelin' like I'm pinned
Acknowledging past mistakes and feeling trapped by them.
Down to the ground I'm not coming back this is where I live yeah
Acceptance of a challenging situation and a sense of permanent residence in that state.
Woke up and the sun's in my face feel the warm glow
Repetition of the struggle with self and the desire for shade, emphasizing a recurring theme.
I like to say that I ain't got no complaints but I don't know
-And I been livin' for the minute just taking the time slow
-But I can't see, need the shade down but I can't get myself up
-Woke up and the sun's in my face feel the warm glow
-I like to say that I ain't got no complaints but I don't know
-And I been livin' for the minute just taking the time slow
-But I can't see, need the shade down but I can't get myself up
-Woke up and the sun's in my face feel the warm glow
-I like to say that I ain't got no complaints but I don't know
-And I been livin' for the minute just taking the time slow
-But I can't see, need the shade down but I can't get myself up
