How Long Will It Take
Echoes of Redemption: Navigating Life's Trials in 'How Long Will It Take'
Lyrics
There's too much time to think about
Reflecting on an abundance of time to ponder
What's done and what could have been
Contemplating past actions and missed opportunities
It seems the mornings are the worst part of the day
Mornings symbolize emotional difficulty
I'm on the verge of a breakdown
Emotionally on the verge of a breakdown
And I'm on the brink of success
Close to achieving success but facing challenges
But the allegations and temptations kept me away
Accusations and temptations hindering progress
But don't you stay now cause it's easier
Encouraging someone to leave for their ease
What's hardest is clearly what's best
Choosing the hardest path for ultimate benefit
So I went back to the dock
Returning to a significant place of the past
Where we had first met
Recalling the initial meeting place
And it took me a couple seconds to catch my breath
Struggling to regain composure after revisiting
The soldiers and the enemies
People and challenges won't fully comprehend
Will never truly understand
Not everyone understands the challenges faced
The cracks in the road dividing the east from the west
Symbolic cracks dividing opposing forces
But don't you stay now cause it's easier
Encouraging departure for simplicity
And don't you feel afraid to rest
Overcoming fear to find peace
But at least I'm feeling better than I was the day before
Feeling better than the previous day
And assuming the worst is basically giving up the war
Rejecting pessimism is essential in the battle
How long will it take to forget
Pondering the duration to forget past experiences
And I don't know why I'm searching and I don't know why I care
Uncertain about the reasons for searching and caring
There's always gonna be news that even the strongest man can't bear
Acknowledging the unbearable news even for the strong
How long will it take to forget
Questioning the time required to move on
But don't you stay now cause it's easier
Advising against staying for simplicity
It takes time to rebuild a broken nest
Time needed to rebuild after a significant loss
But at least i'm feeling better than I was the day before
Improved emotional state compared to the day before
And assuming the worst is basically giving up the war
Optimism is crucial in the ongoing struggle
How long will it take to forget
Repeating the question of the time needed to forget
And I don't know why I'm searching and I don't know why I care
Expressing confusion and concern in searching
There's always gonna be news that even the strongest man can't bear
Recognition of news that challenges even the strongest
How long will it take to forget
Reiterating the query about the time to forget
How long will it take to forget
Persisting with the question of forgetting
How long will it take to forget
Continuing the contemplation of the duration to forget
