Stranger
Lost Reflections: Navigating Emotion's Labyrinth in Griffin Benton's 'Stranger'
Lyrics
There they go my hopes and plans
Feeling disappointed as my hopes and plans are slipping away.
Through my fingers through the cracks
Things are escaping or failing despite my efforts to hold onto them.
Quickly washed away
Rapidly disappearing or getting erased.
While I'm wasting all my days
Wasting time without achieving anything significant.
Dying fire dwindling laughs
Feeling like the enthusiasm or passion is fading away.
My train of thought has gone and crashed
My thoughts or plans have fallen apart abruptly.
Full throttle no brakes
Going forward without any restraint or control emotionally.
An emotional maze
Feeling lost or confused in complex emotions.
So leave a message at the tone
Symbolic of feeling unavailable or distant, preferring solitude.
I'd rather be alone
Choosing isolation over social interactions.
Cause in the mirror as of lately
Not recognizing oneself in recent times.
I don't recognize the stranger staring back at me
Feeling disconnected from one's own identity.
Darkness follows in my tracks
Feeling followed or haunted by negativity.
Can't escape the whip it cracks
Unable to escape from painful situations.
I'm stuck running in place
Feeling stuck in a situation without progress.
Can't seem to turn the page
Unable to move forward or make a change.
Blood red eyes I can't relax
Experiencing stress or tension, unable to calm down.
Sand falls through the hourglass
Sense of time slipping away, feeling a sense of urgency.
And everybody fades
Realizing that everyone around is fading or changing.
No one is to blame
No one is at fault for the situation.
So leave a message at the tone
Signaling unavailability or preference for solitude again.
I'd rather be alone
Prefer being alone over socializing.
Cause in the mirror as of lately
Continuing to feel disconnected from oneself.
I don't recognize the stranger staring back at me
Feeling like a stranger to oneself when looking in the mirror.
Pressure's building on my chest
Experiencing increasing stress or burden.
Gelatin's replaced my legs
Feeling unstable or weak, lacking strength.
I've been spending all my nights
Spending time dealing with personal struggles mentally.
In the darkest corners of my mind
Exploring deep, troubling thoughts or emotions.
So leave a message at the tone
Expressing the desire for solitude or isolation.
I'd rather be alone
Choosing to be alone instead of engaging with others.
Cause in the mirror as of lately
Continued lack of recognition of oneself in the mirror.
I don't recognize the stranger staring back at me
Continued feeling of being disconnected from oneself.
