Fog
Navigating the Shadows: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'Fog'
Lyrics
I’ve been chasing approval
I've been seeking approval
A sense that I belong
Searching for a sense of belonging
The harder I chase it
The more I pursue approval, the more I feel unfulfilled
The more hungry I become
Intense pursuit increases my inner emptiness
It’s like drinking from an ocean
Attempting to satisfy a vast need, akin to drinking from an ocean
While longing for a stream
Desiring something smaller, like a stream
Neglecting the flowers
Ignoring positive aspects (flowers) while nurturing negative aspects (weeds)
Watering the weeds
Focusing on negativity instead of positive elements
I built a little fire
Creating a small source of warmth or comfort
But I’m only getting smoke
Yet, the result is only discomfort and no relief
When I move in to escape the cold
Trying to escape difficulties
I burn my eyes and choke
Experiencing negative consequences and discomfort
The lions they are lurking
Obstacles and challenges are present
But it’s too hard to bear
But facing them is too difficult
So I buy another bottle
Seeking temporary relief through alcohol
And drink till I’m not scared
Drinking to numb fear and anxiety
Will you come find me?
Asking someone to find and help
Cuz I’m drifting
Feeling lost and directionless
And the fog is heavy
Encountering confusion and uncertainty
I’m on my knees
Feeling defeated and vulnerable
Voices all around
External influences causing confusion
Pull me to and fro
Being pulled in different directions by others
They tell me which words not to use
External pressures dictating behavior and choices
And where to buy my clothes
Guidance on personal choices and appearance
They say that I’m not worth much
Being devalued if not conforming
If I don’t get in line
Pressure to conform to societal expectations
So I swallow my convictions
Sacrificing personal beliefs
And auction off my mind
Trading individuality for societal acceptance
But my soul is dying
An internal struggle leading to spiritual decline
Will you come find me
Seeking assistance and support
Cuz I’m drifting
Feeling adrift and lost
And the fog is heavy
Navigating through confusion and uncertainty
Oh the fog is heavy
Feeling overwhelmed by confusion
I’m on my knees
Experiencing vulnerability and desperation
Why don’t you speak?
Expressing a desire for communication or guidance
Maybe I’m just not listening
Suggesting a possibility of not being receptive or attentive
