Lyrics
When I opened my eyes I didn't see
Upon awakening, there's a sense of confusion or absence.
Falling from the skies in front of me
Unexpected events or challenges are happening.
Not quite but close
Not precisely, but a close resemblance to something unsettling.
As though I'd seen a ghost
A strong reaction as if encountering a specter or something haunting.
Was it too much to feel the touch
Questioning if it was overwhelming to experience emotional connection.
Of someone there you couldn't love
The impossibility of loving someone present at that moment.
Cause someone there comes and goes
The transient nature of relationships, people coming and going.
So how are you I'm doing well
A response indicating well-being but hiding emotional turmoil.
I'm fighting tears you couldn't tell
Struggling with tears, concealed from external observation.
I'm not as strong as you thought I was
Admitting vulnerability, not as resilient as perceived.
When you fall down do you hear the sound
Asking if the impact of failure is audible.
Of broken dreams
The sound of shattered aspirations upon hitting the ground.
Hitting the ground
Appealing for compassion amid the fallout of personal battles.
Baby please the casualties of war
Direct reference to the emotional casualties resulting from conflict.
You lost the fight I heard it was a good fight
A acknowledgment of losing in a conflict deemed futile.
The kind that no one wins and no one´s right
Describing a type of conflict with no winners and no moral high ground.
I should've walked away
Regret over not disengaging from the conflict earlier.
I could've walked away
Reflecting on missed opportunities to avoid harm.
You always had that habit of keeping score
Highlighting a trait of keeping track of wins and losses.
You might have one the battle but not the war
Acknowledging a victory in a smaller battle but not in the overarching struggle.
What goes around comes around
Expressing the inevitability of consequences for actions.
So how are you, I'm doing well
Repeating the facade of well-being while dealing with inner turmoil.
I'm fighting tears you couldn't tell
Struggling with tears, maintaining a stoic exterior.
I'm not as strong as you thought I was
Reiterating the disparity between perceived strength and actual vulnerability.
