Paper Mache
Unveiling Life's Tapestry: Finding Common Ground's Paper Mache
Lyrics
Guess I've been fraying at the edges
Expressing a sense of wear and tear on personal well-being.
More often than I care to admit
Acknowledging a frequent experience of personal struggles.
All the vices, the wasted nights spent
Reflection on engaging in negative habits and unproductive nights.
Wasting time
Highlighting a sense of time wasted.
And I've been making a list
Compiling a list of missed opportunities or experiences.
Of all the things I know I've missed
Acknowledging awareness of one's shortcomings.
Still I'm striving for nothing tonight
Despite shortcomings, still striving for improvement.
Locked inside
Sense of feeling trapped or confined.
And I don't know why
Expressing confusion or lack of understanding about current circumstances.
But the walls of this rut are steep
Describing a challenging situation with significant barriers.
And your words cut deep
Acknowledging the emotional impact of someone's words.
It could be worse, couldn't it
Recognizing that the situation could be worse.
Work it all out, could it be anything that I had in my head
Questioning if it's possible to resolve or understand everything.
You've been pointing out my progress
Acknowledging external recognition of personal growth.
I know I have a tendency to forget
Acknowledging a tendency to forget one's progress.
All the steps I've made in my life
Reflecting on the journey and personal development over time.
Since I was spending most nights drinking alone
Recalling a period of solitude and self-destructive behavior.
Yeah, I fucked up
Admitting to past mistakes or errors in judgment.
I was caught up
Acknowledging being entangled or absorbed in a harmful situation.
In a caustic flame, I had to get away I'm paper mache
Metaphorically describing vulnerability and fragility as "paper mache."
It could be worse, couldn't it
Reiterating the acknowledgment that the situation could be worse.
Work it all out, could it be anything that I had in my head
Revisiting the question of resolving or understanding personal issues.
But the truth is, it's irrelevant
Stating that the truth is irrelevant, emphasizing a sense of detachment.
The steps we missed
Reflecting on missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential.
The stacks of could have been's
Highlighting the accumulation of unrealized possibilities.
They sit in the shadows of our progress
Describing missed opportunities lingering in the background of progress.
It's progress
Emphasizing the ongoing nature of personal development.
It could be worse, couldn't it
Reiterating the acknowledgment that the situation could be worse.
Work it all out, could it be anything that I had in my head
Returning to the question of resolving or understanding personal issues.
But the truth is, it's irrelevant
Reiterating the idea that the truth is irrelevant, maintaining detachment.
The steps we missed
Reflecting on missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential.
The stacks of could have been's
Highlighting the accumulation of unrealized possibilities.
They sit in the shadows of our
Emphasizing the persistent presence of unfulfilled potential.
