My Impression Now
Navigating Life's Abyss: Insights from Guided by Voices' 'My Impression Now'
Lyrics
You told me you'd give your soul to the crowd
You promised to sacrifice your soul to the audience.
You run to the edge of the warzone
You hurriedly approached the boundary of a conflict zone.
You're finding out that it's way too late
You are realizing that it's too late to find happiness among your friends.
To be happy around your friends
The timing is wrong to be joyful in the company of your friends.
You changed your head
You underwent a change in your mindset.
And made your bed
You took responsibility for your actions.
Through time, circumstances and medicines
Over time, circumstances, and medications, you adapted to situations.
You lied a lot
You were untruthful frequently.
Created a plot
You devised a plan.
To escort you safely away
You schemed to have someone accompany you safely.
Chorus: My impression now
Refrain: This is my current understanding.
My impression now
-Stand on the edge of the ledge
Stand on the edge of a precipice.
Jump off cause nobody cares
Leap off because nobody is concerned.
You told me you found a way to escape
You informed me of a method to escape.
Through silence and not a suggestion
Through silence, not a mere suggestion.
To apply it all to everyday life
To apply these insights to daily life.
But it can't find the connection
But the connection remains elusive.
The magic lens
Using a special perspective.
You contacted friends
You reached out to friends who seem distant.
Who just never seem to be with you
Despite your efforts, they are not with you.
Flying up on a paper cup
Ascending on a paper cup.
They land to s-sailing away
They alight, then sail away.
