Miranda
Miranda's Melancholy: Unraveling the Struggle for Balance
Lyrics
Miranda, just get out of there
Miranda, it's time to leave that place
You spend your days on the hook
You invest your time in a challenging situation
And you traded your life for sleepless nights
You exchanged your life for restless nights
Just to live it by the books
Just to conform to societal norms
Miranda, do you find
Miranda, do you realize
When you fall you're behind
When you stumble, you fall behind
Your colleagues are crawling
Your peers are struggling to escape
Out of here
This situation
You make time for research
You dedicate time to research
Ignoring you're still hurt
Ignoring the fact that you're still wounded
From cycles of burnout
From repeated cycles of burnout
All these years
Over the years
You said this was your last degree
You claimed this would be your final academic pursuit
But I am not so sure
But I have doubts about that
I hear you
I hear your struggles
I see you
I see the challenges you face
I feel you shutting down
I feel you withdrawing emotionally
Just keep me here as you burn out
Just let me support you through this exhaustion
Stacks of books in our living room
Our living room is filled with piles of books
No space for company
No room for socializing or companionship
And you speed-read away
You read rapidly, oblivious when I'm around
Don't mind when I stay
Indifferent to my presence
Center stage in front of the TV
At the center stage, engrossed in TV
I hear you
I hear your struggles
I see you
I see the challenges you face
I feel you shutting down
I feel you withdrawing emotionally
Just keep me here as you burn out
Just let me support you through this exhaustion
You said you'd count on me
You promised to rely on me
So here I am, endlessly
So here I am, supporting you endlessly
But that only helps so much
But my support has its limits
