Dormancy
Navigating the Abyss of Self: Dormancy by Free Throw
Lyrics
I'm crashing hard on a Sunday
I'm experiencing a significant emotional downturn on a Sunday.
Say it's okay
Asking for reassurance or affirmation that everything is fine.
You see the burden carried around
Acknowledging the weight of emotional baggage carried.
I know I say that I'm always in a good place
Despite claiming to be in a good place, there's an underlying struggle.
A habit used to bury it down
Using habits to suppress or hide emotional pain.
I know it's been forever
Expressing a long duration since feeling emotionally stable.
Since I've held myself together
Highlighting a struggle to keep oneself composed.
And I hate the way it lets you down
Expressing disappointment in the way emotions can let one down.
I'm older now
Acknowledging maturity and a desire to demonstrate personal growth.
I should show you how
Expressing the difficulty of revealing one's true emotional state.
It breaks my heart to see that you know
Feeling heartbroken that others are aware of personal struggles.
That I've still got so far to go
Admitting there's still a long journey ahead for personal improvement.
Text to see if you have been okay today
Checking in on someone to ensure their well-being.
This house is so cold, when awake by yourself
Describing a feeling of isolation and coldness in the home.
It must be so old, to see me so unwell
Assuming that others perceive the speaker as unwell.
I'm in bed on a Monday
Being in bed on a Monday, indicating a lack of motivation or well-being.
It's not okay, although the sleep helps
Admitting that things are not okay, even if sleep provides temporary relief.
I'll come back again Tuesday
Planning to re-engage with the world on Tuesday.
From my cave
Describing a withdrawal or isolation in a personal space.
I'm older now
Reiterating the theme of aging and the accumulation of experience.
And I know your doubts
Acknowledging the doubts or concerns others may have about the speaker.
It breaks my heart to see that you know
Expressing sadness at others being aware of personal shortcomings.
That I've still got so far to go
Admitting there's still a significant distance to cover in personal development.
Text to see if you have been okay today
Checking in on someone's well-being, echoing earlier lines.
I'm older now, I know your doubts
Repeating the acknowledgment of age and understanding the doubts of others.
(It breaks my heart to see you know
Continuation of expressing heartbreak and the long journey ahead.
That I've got so far to go)
Reiteration of the emotional struggle and the distance to cover.
Crashing hard on a Sunday
Revisiting the theme of emotional turmoil, specifically on a Sunday.
And I don't think
Expressing doubt about being able to sleep through the entirety of Monday.
I'll be asleep all of Monday
Anticipating difficulty in finding rest on Monday.
There's no way
Concluding with a declaration of the inevitability of emotional turmoil.
