Lyrics
I'm melting down by the bay, throwing my days away
I'm experiencing a breakdown near the bay, wasting my time.
Trying my very best to summarize and identify who to blame
Struggling to encapsulate and pinpoint responsibility for my struggles.
My failure is fanning flames, learning lessons from my pain
My failures are intensifying challenges, and I'm learning from the pain.
And if there's blood in my veins, then there's a chance I can change
If there's vitality in me, there's a possibility for positive change.
I find comfort in the waves and quiet my mind that's plagued
Finding solace in the calming waves, quieting a troubled mind.
By mistakes from past days, I won't let my work be gauged
Refusing to let past mistakes define my worth in the eyes of others.
By others accolades, I'm not that hungry for praise
Not overly desiring external recognition or praise.
And it's not about the game but more so how it is played
Emphasizing the importance of how things are done rather than mere success.
Soak my bones in that warm blue
Immersing myself in a soothing environment.
So long til' I mend by wounds
Taking time to heal and recover.
I won't pretend that I'm stronger than you
Admitting vulnerability, not pretending to be stronger than others.
Down by the shore, I will be born anew
Anticipating a transformative experience near the shoreline.
Catch me embodying the mood, down south I'm trying to get in tune
Expressing a desire to align with the blues and connect with emotions.
With the feeling of the blues, I know will carry me through
Believing that the blues will guide and support through challenges.
Sacrifice is king, it serves as currency for dreams
Acknowledging that sacrifice is crucial for pursuing dreams.
I'm gladly paying my toll, hard times are feeding my soul
Embracing hardships as they contribute to personal growth.
I've tasted famine not the feast and no fortune of which to speak
Experiencing scarcity rather than abundance, yet finding release in words.
Even if I'm not heard I'll find release in these words
Finding solace and expression even if not heard by others.
Soak my bones in that warm blue
Repeating the need for immersion in a calming environment.
So long til' I mend my wounds
Reiterating the commitment to healing and recovery.
I won't pretend that I'm stronger than you
Reaffirming vulnerability and avoiding false strength.
Down by the shore I will be born anew
Expecting a rebirth near the shore.
I watch the waves run aground
Observing waves crashing, possibly mirroring life's challenges.
I'm dodging people I don't want to be around
Avoiding unwanted company or negative influences.
If I wade too deep please don't let me drown
Requesting support to prevent drowning in deep thoughts.
My thoughts they weigh like a million pounds
Feeling burdened by heavy thoughts.
They're an anchor on my ankle that's so tightly bound
Describing thoughts as a tightly bound anchor.
But you feel that blue it's all around
Acknowledging the pervasive influence of the blues.
Soak my bones in that warm blue
Reiterating the need for immersion in a calming environment.
So long till I mend my wounds
Repeating the commitment to healing and recovery.
I won't pretend that I'm stronger than you
Reaffirming vulnerability and avoiding false strength.
Down by the shore I will be born anew
Expecting a rebirth near the shore.
