Lyrics
When I'm in my darkest place
Refers to a state of deep emotional distress or difficulty.
I must be careful not to dwell there
Emphasizes the need to avoid lingering or staying too long in that distressed state.
When I'm headed for the ditch
Suggests approaching a problematic situation.
I must be careful not to sleep there
Advises against becoming too complacent or settling in that problematic situation.
While I might enjoy the peace
Despite finding tranquility in the distress, there are other opportunities or paths to explore.
There are other lights that call me
Other aspects or possibilities are attracting attention, pulling away from the peaceful yet distressing situation.
And although I'm out of the race
Not actively participating or competing in a specific endeavor.
I know that something good must befall me
Optimism about a positive outcome despite not being directly involved.
And when I'm swimming out of my depth
Feeling overwhelmed or challenged.
And I can barely see the crest of a wave
Lacking visibility or clarity about potential dangers that could harm or overwhelm.
That might destroy me
Refers to potential hazards that could be detrimental.
I must look for what I can't see
Encouragement to seek beyond the obvious or visible.
I must reach for what doesn't touch me
Encouragement to strive for something intangible or out of reach.
I must leave my lonely space
Leaving behind a state of isolation.
And make time my only enemy
Viewing time as a challenge or adversary.
I must seek what can't be bought
Searching for things that money can't acquire.
And make choices that support me
Making decisions that are beneficial for personal well-being.
And the friends who fall apart
Friends who struggle due to barriers separating them.
From the crumbling walls that divide me
Struggling with divisions or boundaries between individuals.
And when I'm swimming out of my depth
Repetition of feeling overwhelmed or challenged.
And I can barely see the crest of a wave
Reiteration of lack of clarity or visibility regarding potential risks.
That might engulf me
Highlighting the potential of being engulfed by something threatening.
Then I'm in my darkest room
Returning to a deeply distressed state.
But I'm careful not to enjoy it
Being cautious not to indulge in that distress too much.
All too much, but as I leave
Recognizing the benefit of having experienced distress when leaving it behind.
It will be helpful to have endured it
Caution to avoid stumbling or making mistakes while moving forward.
I must be careful not to trip
Warning to be cautious and not lose balance or progress.
Not to fall as I continue
Acknowledging internal struggles or conflicts.
But my darkest place is in me
Recognition of inner turmoil as a guiding force.
And there's something there that calls me
Something within that draws attention or beckons.
Ah, ah, ah, ah
