A Familiar Direction
Navigating Shadows: A Journey Through Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Straight down, a familiar direction
Feeling a familiar sense of falling or decline
Stay out, never wanted at home
Feeling unwelcome or not accepted at home
Too busy backing myself into a corner
Continually putting oneself in difficult situations or troubles
Too late to figure out the things I don't know
Realizing it's too late to understand certain things
Same round, another year in a cycle
Experiencing repetitive cycles or routines
Laid out, each time a heavier blow
Encountering increasingly difficult challenges
I must've turned myself around in the moment
Realizing a sudden change or realization in a moment
I could've put it down a decade ago
Regretting not taking action much earlier
A million ways that I could start it again
Considering multiple ways to begin anew
To lift a heavier head
Trying to lift one's spirits or attitude
Too scared of moving the wrong way
Being afraid of making mistakes or wrong decisions
I promise everything is going to plan
Assuring oneself that everything is proceeding as planned
I want to lay in my own sunlight again
Wanting to experience personal happiness or contentment
Deserve to lie in my skin
Feeling worthy of being comfortable in one's own skin
Give myself over to something
Being willing to commit to something
Instead I'm counting all the lines in my hands
Reflecting on past experiences or hardships
Came to, laying out in the open
Finding oneself exposed or vulnerable
Bold colors floating over my head
Noticing vibrant and intense emotions or thoughts
I'll have some answers when I wake in the morning
Expecting clarity or understanding in the morning
Til then I'm clueless as to where to begin
Feeling lost or directionless about where to start
Bleed red, another drop in an ocean
Feeling insignificant or small in a larger context
Sharks circle at the foot of my bed
Sensing danger or threats in close proximity
Celebrate another year in the making
Marking the passage of time and celebrating progress
Treading water trying not to forget
Struggling to stay afloat and not forget important things
A million ways that I could start it again
Considering various ways to make a fresh start
To lift a heavier head
Attempting to improve one's situation
Too scared of moving the wrong way
Fearful of making incorrect moves or decisions
I promise everything is going to plan
Reassuring oneself that things will go according to plan
I want to lay in my own sunlight again
Desiring personal happiness and peace
Deserve to lie in my skin
Believing in deserving comfort and acceptance
Give myself over to something
Wishing to commit oneself to something meaningful
Instead I'm counting all the lines in my hands
Overthinking or analyzing past experiences or decisions
