Navigating Shadows: A Journey of Self-Discovery in Irosa Rosali's 'Come to Mind'
Lyrics
I know what I've been through
I acknowledge the challenges and experiences I've faced.
Trudged all my way to get back to you
I persevered through difficulties to return to you.
And that you is me
The "you" mentioned is a representation of myself.
Now in the same spot where I used to be
I find myself in the same situation as before.
I've forgotten all my tools
I've lost track of my coping mechanisms.
I'm scattered on the floor with the nuts and jewels
I am disorganized, with my resources scattered.
How could this be?
Expressing disbelief at the current state.
When the whole time I've been in therapy
Despite being in therapy, I question the effectiveness.
Now who will help me? I'm out of my mind
Seeking assistance, feeling mentally distressed.
I'm only shaking! I swear that I'm fine
Despite appearances, I insist that I am okay.
And in the dark where I worry
In moments of darkness, I contemplate my worries.
I wonder what, what will hurt me?
Reflecting on potential sources of pain.
Come to mind, come to mind
Emphasizing the recurring thoughts that come to mind.
Why don't I just move away?
Considering the option of escaping difficulties.
It's so much easier to run than to face and stay
Highlighting the temptation to run instead of facing challenges.
Please just look, I'm trying to say
Pleading for understanding while admitting cowardice.
I'm a coward with training that still needs wheels to play
Describing oneself as a timid individual still learning to confront problems.
Now who will help me? I'm out of my mind
Reiterating the need for assistance in a distressed state of mind.
I'm only shaking! I swear that I'm fine
Reassuring others despite internal turmoil.
And in the dark where I worry I wonder what
Continuing to ponder worries in the darkness.
What will hurt me
Questioning what specific things will cause harm.
Come to mind, come to mind
Repetition of the plea for thoughts to come to mind.
