Slow Motion
Navigating Life's Slow Motion: Jake Whiskin's Reflective Journey
Lyrics
Been through the motions made some plans,
Been through experiences and made plans
in changing seasons different bands
Faced changes in seasons and encountered different situations
My head is filled, my senses dulled until I'm not sure who I am.
Feeling overwhelmed, senses dulled, uncertain about identity
Been losing sight of what is real, spent years on the Catherine wheel
Lost sight of reality, spent time in a difficult situation
It might be twisted that I miss it but the hurting made me feel
Acknowledging the twisted nature of missing the pain as it made the person feel alive
It's like I'm moving in slow motion
Experiencing life as if in slow motion
Thought I was running but the walls stay still
Perceived movement is slow, despite the effort to progress
Feel like I'm living in a bad dream
Feeling trapped in a nightmarish reality
Wish I could wake up but I never will
Desiring to wake up from the nightmare but feeling unable to
'cause if I can't break away from my past
The past is a hindrance to moving forward
Then it will always hold me back
The past continues to have a negative impact
There's a place I like to go, reminds me of a plastic rose
Reflecting on a place reminiscent of something artificial
It feels so cheap as my thoughts run deep & then I have to make it home
Feeling cheap and deep in thought, needing to return home
and at this rate I can't attest if I am broken or possessed
Uncertain about mental or spiritual state
'cause I can't stop chasing steps retracted just lead me back to where I left
Unable to stop revisiting past mistakes
It's like I'm moving in slow motion
Continued experience of life in slow motion
Thought I was running but the walls stay still
Perceived lack of progress despite efforts
Feel like I'm living in a bad dream
Feeling trapped in a nightmarish reality (repeated)
Wish I could wake up but I never will
Desire to wake up from the nightmare (repeated)
'cause if I can't break away from my past
The past continues to hinder progress (repeated)
Then it will always hold me back
The past remains a persistent obstacle
It's like I'm moving in slow motion all the time
Continued experience of life in slow motion (repeated)
