Wither Away
Seizing Time's Grip: Unraveling the Struggle to Stay True
Lyrics
I wake up with an ache to be creative
The speaker wakes up with a strong desire to be creative.
But my time's spent sittin', waitin'
The speaker feels their time is being wasted as they sit and wait.
As I watch another day go to waste
Observing another day passing without accomplishing anything.
I can't just shrivel at this desk job
The speaker is averse to being stuck in a mundane desk job.
Restless til I get off
Restless and eager to finish work to pursue creative endeavors.
As I wish my effort wasn't lost
Expressing a desire that their efforts at work were not in vain.
As I click click click my clock is ticking
Feeling the pressure of time passing as they work.
Sick sick sick of overthinking
Frustration with excessive overthinking.
And I can't let a life's regret start to settle in
Avoiding the regret of not pursuing a fulfilling life.
So til I rip rip rip right through my throat
Committing to persevere through challenges and difficulties.
I'll never quit quit quit, this shit ain't over
Determined to continue despite obstacles.
Now's the time to try it right and finally begin
Embracing the present as the right time to start anew.
Cause I'm growing old trying to fit the fucking mold
Frustration with the passage of time while conforming to societal expectations.
Watching my youth get tangled in a noose
Feeling trapped and losing one's youth to societal pressures.
It's getting old trying to follow what I'm told
Expressing discontent with conforming to others' expectations.
When I'm afraid (I'm afraid) I'll see my time slip and wither away
Fear of time slipping away and life becoming unfulfilling.
Wither away
Oh tell me did you stifle all your promise?
Questioning if promises made to oneself have been stifled or compromised.
Is your life all that you wanted?
Reflecting on whether life has lived up to personal expectations.
Do you go through every day as who you're not?
Questioning whether one is authentically living each day.
Cause I've known who I wanna be
Having a clear vision of the person the speaker wants to be.
Since I was fuckin' seventeen
The speaker has known their desired identity since the age of seventeen.
What happened? What happened to me?
Expressing confusion or disappointment about deviating from their desired path.
As I click click click my clock is ticking
Feeling the urgency of time as it passes.
Sick sick sick of overthinking
Continued frustration with overthinking and its negative impact.
And I can't let a life's regret start to settle in
Resisting the onset of regrets in life.
So til I rip rip rip right through my throat
Commitment to endure challenges and hardships.
I'll never quit quit quit, this shit ain't over
Determined to persevere through difficulties.
Now's the time to try it right and finally begin
Emphasizing the present as the opportune moment to begin anew.
Cause I'm growing old trying to fit the fucking mold
Expressing frustration with aging while conforming to societal norms.
Watching my youth get tangled in a noose
Visualizing the loss of youth due to societal expectations.
It's getting old trying to follow what I'm told
Discontent with adhering to societal expectations.
When I'm afraid (I'm afraid) I'll see my time slip and wither away
Fear of time slipping away and life losing its essence.
Wither away
