We Were So Scared Of What We Would Become That We Didn't See We Were Already There
Overcoming Fear: Embracing the Unseen Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
We're so scared
We are experiencing fear.
Of what we'll become that
We fear the future version of ourselves.
We don't see we're already there
We are oblivious to the fact that we have already reached that feared state.
I wake up most days afraid and I
Upon waking up, the singer feels anxiety.
Take an anti-depressant and
The singer takes medication to counteract depression.
Dream about being somewhere else
The singer daydreams about being in a different place or situation.
I look the news and there's been
The singer sees news about a nearby mass shooting.
Another mass shooting a block from here
Another tragic event has occurred close to the singer's location.
And just off campus someones killed themselves
Someone has committed suicide near the singer's campus.
We're so scared
Reiteration of the fear of what the future holds.
Of what we'll become that we
We are blind to the fact that we are already in that feared state.
Don't see we're already there
Repetition of the idea of not realizing the current situation.
I wake up most days
Repeated expression of waking up afraid on most days.
I wake up most days
-I wake up most days
-I wake up most days
-I wake up most days
-I wake up most days
-I wake up most days
-I wake up most days
-Afraid
The emotion of fear is emphasized.
I wake up most days afraid
The singer consistently wakes up feeling scared.
And I really wish I could be not scared
The desire to overcome the constant fear is expressed.
Always being afraid of what's not there
Living in constant fear of imaginary threats is draining.
And I'm starting to feel petrified
The singer is overwhelmed by small worries in life.
By all the small things in my life
The accumulation of minor concerns is affecting the singer.
Am I going outside today
Questions about the singer's daily struggles and emotions.
Am I going to cry today
-Do I want to die today
-Will I find a rhyme today
-Maybe today will be the best day of my life
The hope for a better day is expressed.
Or maybe around the corner there's a man with a knife
A potential threat or danger lurks around the corner.
And I'm stagnating I'm stagnating
A sense of being stuck or not progressing is felt.
I can feel it in my bones
The stagnation is palpable and affecting the singer's well-being.
Oh I'm stagnating I'm stagnating
-Do I have a home any more
Doubt about having a home or a sense of belonging.
Hey
Repetition of an exclamation, possibly conveying distress.
Hey
-Hey
-I'm so scared of what I'll become that I can't
The fear of personal development hinders the ability to experience joy.
Seem
The singer seems unable to experience happiness.
To feel any sort of joy in my life without feeling
Difficulty finding joy in life without feeling undeserving.
So damn
Intensification of the feeling of unworthiness.
Unworthy
Final expression of feeling unworthy and scared.
