Breaking the Chains: Embracing Liberation in Hail the Sun's 'Maladapted'
Lyrics
Running out of reasons to tell myself for the things I can't explain.
Struggling to find explanations for unexplainable things.
Dwelling on the moments I keep replaying in the hopes that maybe they'll change.
Reflecting on past moments, hoping they might change.
Far as I can see I'm a puppeteer. Trying to control what I can't bring near.
Feeling like a puppeteer, attempting to control distant elements.
So I finally stop. Let go of the wheel.
Deciding to stop trying to control and letting go.
The more I give up the better I feel.
Experiencing relief by giving up control.
There's no turning back. I've broken the seal.
Irreversible decision, breaking a metaphorical seal.
The motion I can handle. The motion I can handle.
Comfortable with certain types of motion or change.
Do I care too much to leave it alone?
Questioning if caring too much hinders letting go.
There's a narrative I always need to know. Maybe it's that I obsess on figuring out
Constantly seeking a narrative, obsessing over understanding.
Every person, place or thing I've grown to doubt.
Obsessively questioning and doubting people, places, and things.
But I finally stop. Let go of the wheel.
Choosing to stop controlling and letting go again.
The more I give up the better I feel.
Feeling better by surrendering control.
There's no turning back. I've brokered the deal. The motion I can handle. The motion I can handle.
Irreversible decision, having made a significant choice.
Stop obsessing on what's not important.
Advising to stop fixating on unimportant matters.
And so I give up. I give up.
Fully giving up on controlling certain aspects.
Tap thrice, blink and look right.
Providing specific actions to detach and let go.
Side eyed shut the door twice.
Symbolic gestures to detach and avoid failure.
For this one, and that one, or I will fail.
Expressing the importance of detachment to avoid failure.
I finally stop. Relinquish the wheel.
Repeating the decision to stop controlling and letting go.
The better I feel.
Reiterating the positive impact of letting go.
I finally stop. Let go of the wheel.
Again, deciding to let go and stop controlling.
The more I give up the better I feel.
Reiterating the positive impact of surrendering control.
There's no turning back. I've broken the seal.
Emphasizing the irreversibility of the decision.
The motion I can handle. The motion I can handle.
Comfortable with the motion or change that comes with letting go.
Once I let it go (I don't have to fear what I don't know) I don't need control.
Realizing that letting go eliminates the fear of the unknown.
