The Basics
Navigating Shadows: Embracing Imperfection and Self-Deception in 'The Basics'
Lyrics
I've always found light in dark places
I consistently find positivity in challenging situations.
I've always found god in the graceless
I consistently find a sense of spirituality in situations lacking grace or refinement.
I only think about it when I'm wasted
I only reflect on certain matters when I'm under the influence of substances.
But it's the only way that I can fucking face it
Despite its difficulty, substance use is the only way I can confront certain realities.
Never mind you don't meet the basics
Disregard, as you don't fulfill the basic requirements or expectations.
My days with you are always the days best spent
The time spent with you is always the most enjoyable and fulfilling.
If I get caught I know I can fake it
If caught, I believe I can convincingly deceive or pretend.
It's easy cause I know we won't make it
Dealing with the situation is easy because I am certain our relationship won't succeed.
And I
Expressing a lack of truthfulness or honesty.
Lie
Repeating the act of lying.
Everyday
Lying is a daily occurrence.
To myself
Lying to oneself is a common practice.
Sometimes
Admitting that deception is occasionally acceptable.
It's okay
Accepting the falsehoods for the sake of personal well-being.
For my health
Indicating a conflicting desire for both the positive and negative aspects of a situation.
Can't seriously say I don't want this
Acknowledging a desire for a particular situation despite contradictions.
But I can seriously say I don't want you
Expressing a clear rejection of a specific person despite other conflicting feelings.
Most the time I'm just trying to focus
Most of the time, my focus is on specific goals or tasks.
Most the time my life is a goddamn mess
Describing life as frequently disordered or chaotic.
Third times the charm
Repeatedly experiencing failure despite multiple attempts, suggesting a sense of frustration or resignation.
Third time still missed
-Third times the charm
-Third time still missed
-Third times the charm
-Third time still missed
-Third times the charm
-Third time still missed
