At War with Our Past Selves
Navigating Shadows: Unveiling Inner Struggles in 'At War with Our Past Selves'
Lyrics
Cast my mind back to my past
Reflecting on my past experiences
Recollection holds some truth to me
Acknowledging that memories hold some truth
Memories are fading fast
Noticing that memories are fading quickly
Can't recall quite how it used to be
Unable to recall how things used to be
At war with our past selves
Engaged in a struggle with our past selves
Hindsight is always crystal clear
Realizing that hindsight is clear but often late
At war with our past selves
Continuing the internal conflict with the past
Shed a light on inner fears
Seeking understanding of inner fears
Slide away from present tense
Moving away from the current moment
Did I cause all of those grievous wounds?
Questioning if personal actions caused harm
Broken where I should have bent
Being damaged in situations that required flexibility
Tear me up by the roots
Expressing vulnerability and emotional pain
Hammer quicker in desperation
Acting urgently in desperation
Was it all my fault?
Questioning responsibility for past actions
Woken, spoken
Awareness and communication have occurred
Coded messages dissolve
Cryptic messages are no longer understandable
Reaping, sewing, harvest
Reaping the consequences of past actions
Finally comes to fruit
Achieving the results of past efforts
Evil power looming
Sensing a looming malevolent force
Vampires comes to roost
Negative consequences are arriving
All of the time I spent inside
Reflecting on the significant time spent introspecting
Wondering who I was
Questioning personal identity
A treacherous climb, a great divide
Describing a challenging and divisive experience
Spilled oceans worth of blood
Having endured intense suffering and hardship
Looking back instincts crack
Recognizing that instincts falter under pressure
Beneath tremendous strain
Facing tremendous strain and difficulty
Fading to black, suspend the attack
Approaching a point of no return, self-blaming
I've only myself to blame
Taking sole responsibility for the consequences
