Stuck in the Mud
Navigating the Quagmire of Self-Doubt: Stuck in the Mud by Jacob Slade
Lyrics
I start to lose my mind
I experience a mental struggle and confusion
When I don't trust my own eyes
My lack of trust in my own perception causes distress
I'm out of touch
I feel disconnected or out of sync
Convinced I'm destined to destruct
I believe I'm fated to self-destruct
Everything I've come to love
Things I once loved now seem incomprehensible
It doesn't make any sense
The situation becomes confusing and irrational
But that doesn't matter
Despite the confusion, rationality is irrelevant
It's hard when I read into each and every thing
Analyzing everything intensively is challenging
I feel so stuck in the mud
I feel trapped or stagnant in challenging circumstances
I can't move my tired feet beneath me
I'm unable to progress, feeling exhausted
No it's never enough
Despite efforts, satisfaction is elusive
It's hard when I read into each and every thing
Intensive analysis contributes to the struggle
I feel so stuck in the mud
Feeling stuck or confined in difficult circumstances
I can't move my tired feet beneath me
Physical and mental fatigue hinder movement
No it's never enough
Persisting efforts don't bring fulfillment
Ease the urge to fall back down
Trying to resist the temptation to regress
To where I've been a million times before (I feel so stuck in the mud)
Repeatedly finding myself in familiar, negative situations
I'll tell myself I'm far ahead
Deluding myself into thinking I'm making progress
Until I end up back in my own world (No it's never enough)
Ultimately returning to my familiar, problematic world
I'll tell myself I'm far ahead
False assurance of advancement, leading to repetition
Until I end up back in my own world
Cycle of false progress, returning to my own reality
