The Fist, the Finger, and the Heart
Echoes of Redemption: A Journey through Regret and Resilience
Lyrics
Dear memory hey how've you been
Addressing memories, asking about their well-being after a long time without contact
It's been a real long time since the last time we've spoken
Expressing the extended duration since the last interaction with memories
Do you remember don't you remember
Inquiring if the memories are still retained
Farewell to those days I lived without doubt
Saying goodbye to a time when there was confidence and certainty
Now I flaunt my faults while I barricade this bridge
Presenting flaws openly while protecting oneself emotionally
It's water under just water under
Referring to past events as something to be left behind
Screaming out loud
Expressing emotions loudly but feeling unheard
But no one hears me
Sense of isolation despite vocalizing feelings
Underneath a black cloud
Feeling overshadowed by negativity or difficulty
You call it illusion, I call it reality
Perception versus actuality, differentiating personal truth from others' opinions
Over and over
Repetition of an experience or situation
I've made this promise to myself
Making a commitment to oneself
Even while history repeats itself
Despite learning from the past, encountering similar situations repeatedly
Each and every day
Reflecting on past thoughts or teachings
I think of all the things you used to say
Recollection of previous advice or guidance
And how I've gotten in your way
Acknowledging interference or obstruction in someone else's life
And this bitter taste
Feeling bitterness about a situation or interaction
Anxiety is on my mind
Stress and unease occupying thoughts
But I've only scratched the surface of this sullen sinking
Having only begun to understand a gloomy descent or decline
We're counting stars with hearts on our sleeves now
Sharing vulnerabilities openly with others
The fist finger or is it the heart
Questioning which aspect (physical strength, manipulation, or emotions) is at play
I'm dropping dimes and raking all these random riches
Investing effort and time into various uncertain endeavors
I know you're spent but just what are we making
Wondering about the purpose or outcome of joint efforts
Screaming out loud
Reiterating the expression of emotions without feeling understood
But no one hears me
Repeating the sense of isolation or being unheard
Underneath a black cloud
Continued sense of being overshadowed by negativity
You call it illusion, I call it reality
Perception versus actuality, differentiating personal truth from others' opinions (repeated)
Woah oh oh
An exclamation expressing emotional intensity
Over and over
Repetition of an experience or situation (repeated)
I've made this promise to myself
Making a commitment to oneself (repeated)
Even while history repeats itself
Despite learning from the past, encountering similar situations repeatedly (repeated)
Each and every day
Reflecting on past thoughts or teachings (repeated)
I think of all the things you used to say
Recollection of previous advice or guidance (repeated)
And how I've gotten in your way
Acknowledging interference or obstruction in someone else's life (repeated)
Over and over
Repetition of an experience or situation (repeated)
