Under the Crushing Recognition
Breaking Free: Navigating Darkness and Discovering Love
Lyrics
It's never been easy to break free of everything lost
It's challenging to overcome the weight of all that has been lost.
Through horrible circumstances and the ways we cope
Despite facing difficult situations and our coping mechanisms.
Was it really my fault
Questioning if the difficulties were truly my fault.
Or was it something in between that and reality
Considering the possibility that the responsibility lies between my actions and reality.
I'm hard on myself, but maybe I don't know
Expressing self-criticism, uncertainty, and introspection.
Let's backtrack, how did you react
Reflecting on past actions, possibly related to the mentioned difficulties.
How would you react now
Pondering how one would react in the present moment.
Could progress be measured by anything else
Questioning if progress can be assessed through means other than personal reactions.
Blanket statements on the inside
Noting generalizations or judgments made internally.
Breaking my own heart
Engaging in self-destructive behavior, causing emotional pain.
The only way I know how to fall apart
Indicating a familiar pattern of falling apart as a coping mechanism.
I feel something entering
Sensing the intrusion of something new into an emotional void.
The void inside my hope
Describing the emptiness within hope and the struggle to fill it.
But these defense mechanisms will never help me cope
Recognizing that defensive strategies won't assist in coping with challenges.
But I see the future in the faces of the people that still let me in
Finding hope and purpose in the people who continue to support despite difficulties.
Despite the darkness that engulfs us all
Acknowledging the pervasive darkness that affects everyone.
Through a world that doesn't care
Navigating a world that seems indifferent to struggles.
Everything that it destroys
Reflecting on the destructive nature of everything that surrounds us.
All the systems we enforce that destroy
Highlighting the systems we adhere to that contribute to destruction.
And even though I've been destroyed, I am still worthy of love
Affirming personal worthiness of love despite experiencing destruction.
