Lyrics
So many questions and nobody seems to have the answers
Expressing frustration about unanswered questions in life.
So many blessings and yet life still feels like a disaster
Despite blessings, life still feels chaotic and challenging.
Before and after pics of who you were back then and now
Reflecting on personal transformation over time through pictures.
Do you feel proud about your progress or you feel let down
Questioning personal satisfaction with progress or disappointment.
Did things turn out the you thought they would inside your head
Reflecting on the disparity between expectations and reality.
Like when I’m grown up mom and dad will be in love again
Recalling childhood hopes, possibly unfulfilled.
I mean I can’t be by myself I know you’ve wondered too
Expressing a need for companionship and shared experiences.
It’s detrimental to our health I know you feel the bruise
Highlighting the negative impact of isolation on mental health.
Yeah
Confirmation or agreement with the previous lines.
There’s still a lot of shit I’m dealing with
Dealing with unresolved personal issues.
I know it’s not in vain cause these are parts he’ll build me with
Recognizing personal growth through challenges.
But I’m still flesh so I’m prone to make all my mistakes
Acknowledging human fallibility and the propensity for mistakes.
Especially when I predicate my choices off my aches
Making choices based on past pain and experiences.
Fuck
Expression of frustration or discontent.
I hope you understand what I just said
Hope for understanding regarding previous statements.
I base my choices off my past and all my broken ends
Relating choices to past hardships and brokenness.
If I offend you with my lifestyle remember this
Warning that lifestyle choices may be offensive to others.
Where were you when I was down and filled with emptiness
Reminding others of absence during personal struggles.
I feel so cold
Expressing emotional coldness or numbness.
I killed my soul
Symbolizing a loss of inner purity or innocence.
I feel so alone
Conveying a sense of loneliness.
I have no one to hold me
Expressing a lack of emotional support.
Sometimes it’s hard to find acceptance huh
Commenting on the difficulty of finding self-acceptance.
Not from people but the one in your reflection huh
Differentiating acceptance from others and self-acceptance.
Cause I know how it feels to hate the person staring back
Understanding the struggle of self-hatred and reflection.
So we conceal our true identities and wear a mask
Describing the use of masks to hide true identities.
Yeah, I know exactly how that tactic works
Recognizing the effectiveness of concealing one's true feelings.
The madness lurks behind a smile that has been well rehearsed
Pointing out the hidden struggles behind a seemingly happy facade.
I hate to burst your bubble but that act won’t last too long
Asserting that the act of concealing true feelings is temporary.
One day you’ll have to crack pack your bags and just move on
Highlighting the inevitability of facing and moving on from struggles.
Yeah
Reiterating the need to confront challenges and move forward.
Cause once upon a time that was me
Personal experience of facing suicidal thoughts and overcoming them.
And suicide was on my mind and I was prepped to leave
Expressing feelings of deception and the desire to escape.
I felt deceived by the mirrors of my broken past
Feeling betrayed by one's own past and self-image.
Until I freed myself cause only I would hold me back
Emphasizing self-liberation from personal limitations.
