Lyrics
I'm running out of options
I am running out of choices or alternatives.
I'm coming close to losing my mind
I am approaching a point where I might lose my sanity or mental stability.
This pace i'm trying to outrun
I am trying to escape or surpass the current speed or intensity of life.
Familiar faces all left behind
People I once knew well have all moved away or abandoned me.
Remember what they said
Recalling advice or warnings received from others.
Go out and get your bread
Recalling guidance to go out and earn a living.
Remember when I said
Recalling a past statement.
Before mama dead
Referring to a time before the speaker's mother passed away.
Let's go
Expressing a readiness to take action.
I'm ready to grow
Indicating a willingness or eagerness to develop or mature.
I risked it all for my goals
Having taken significant risks to achieve personal goals.
I've seen friend turn to foes
Observing a transformation in friendships, where friends become adversaries.
Can't pretend we should of known
Admitting that they should have anticipated or understood certain things.
Things were gonna be like this
Acknowledging the unexpected difficulties in life.
But I'm to blame as much as them
Taking responsibility for the current situation as much as others.
I got a chance to change my bad habits
Recognizing an opportunity to break free from negative habits.
A chance to change
Emphasizing the first chance for change.
A chance to change again
Highlighting subsequent chances for change.
And again
Reiterating the recurring nature of opportunities for change.
And again
-And again
-And again
-And again
-And again
-And again
-And again
-And again
-And again
-I got my back against the wall
Feeling trapped or in a difficult situation.
I'm jaded, I've heard it all
Experiencing skepticism or weariness, having heard it all before.
Dial tone, no one to call
Being isolated, with no one to reach out to.
So I bite my tongue, & deal with shit
Choosing to endure challenges without expressing them.
I hope no one sensed the fall
Hoping that others do not notice the speaker's decline or struggles.
You say I care to much, so I care less
Responding to criticism by showing reduced concern or care.
I know you miss just how I was
Acknowledging that others miss the speaker's past self.
