Step Out
Breaking Free: Embracing Light from Darkness
Lyrics
I've been low, I've been real low before
I have experienced deep emotional lows in the past.
Lost at sea I thought I had to burn my oar
I felt lost and believed I had to abandon my means of progress.
Tore down my sails they came crashing to the floor
I dismantled my ambitions, and they collapsed abruptly.
So far out I forgot there was a shore
I was so isolated that I forgot there was a way back.
The sun and moon came and went
The passage of time became inconspicuous.
I forgot what my own name meant
I lost sight of my identity.
I even shave my own head
I took drastic actions, such as shaving my head.
Wish I could say it was for a convent
I wish I could attribute it to a noble cause.
A convent
Reiteration of the desire for a noble cause.
How'd I not feel the warmth all those cold nights
Reflecting on not recognizing warmth during cold nights.
How'd I not see the glow from the skyline
Questioning the failure to notice the beauty of the skyline.
Why did I think that I wasn't allowed to step
Questioning self-imposed limitations on stepping out of shadows.
Out of the shadows I casted myself
Realizing self-inflicted darkness.
I don't have the answers to the universe
Admitting uncertainty about the universe.
All I know is you become what you observe
Emphasizing the impact of observation on personal growth.
You watch your screen every night
Highlighting the detachment caused by excessive screen time.
You forget everything's alright
Forgetting that everything is ultimately okay.
Let this song be a testament
Expressing the song as a testament to finding clarity.
An aimless fool like me can always see again
Asserting that even a directionless person can rediscover purpose.
How'd I not feel the warmth all those cold nights
Revisiting the theme of not recognizing warmth during cold nights.
How'd I not see the glow from the skyline
Revisiting the theme of not appreciating the glow of the skyline.
Why did I think that I wasn't allowed to step
Reiterating the questioning of self-imposed restrictions.
Out of the shadows that I casted myself
Reaffirming the realization of self-created shadows.
How'd I not feel the warmth all those cold nights
Recurrence of the theme of not feeling warmth during cold nights.
How'd I not see the glow from the skyline
Recurrence of the theme of overlooking the glow of the skyline.
Why did I think that I wasn't allowed to step
Reiteration of questioning self-imposed limitations.
Out of the shadows that I casted myself
Reiteration of stepping out of self-created shadows.
