Nowadays
Vanishing in the Haze: Embracing Freedom and Self-Care
Lyrics
Grounded and steady
Feeling grounded and stable.
Slowly youre ready to move
Gradually becoming prepared to make a move.
Away from the place that
Moving away from the place considered home.
You call your home
Leaving the familiar space behind.
Your familiar space
Vanishing into uncertainty or obscurity.
And now you vanish in the haze
Expressing the idea that people are not curious anymore.
Nowadays nobody wonders
No one is surprised when you abandon what you love.
Youre leaving what you love
Indifference towards your departure from things you cherish.
Nowadays nobody cares
Current societal apathy; people are self-centered.
If you dont care
It doesn't matter to others if you are indifferent.
For anyone else but yourself
Prioritizing oneself over others.
And then after all they are tired
Others becoming exhausted due to the obsession with unattainable things.
Of all those idolised things
Critique of the idolization of material possessions.
They just cant have on their own
Desire for what others have but can't possess alone.
They didnt learn to share
Highlighting a lack of sharing and communal values.
And then they vanish in the haze
Similar to line 5, people fading into obscurity due to their self-centeredness.
Nowadays nobody wonders
Reiteration of the lack of wonder at someone leaving what they love.
Youre leaving what you love
Continued indifference to the departure of cherished things.
Nowadays nobody cares
Reiteration of societal apathy towards others' feelings.
If you dont care
Emphasizing the insignificance of others' opinions about one's indifference.
For anyone else but yourself
Reinforcing the theme of prioritizing oneself over others.
And in the end hopes and sorrows
Equality of hopes and sorrows, emphasizing common human experiences.
Are the same, you will see that
Assurance that what truly matters is oneself.
What really matters is you
Self-realization and the importance of personal freedom.
That makes you feel free and relieved
Reiteration of personal freedom and relief being paramount.
That makes you feel free and relieved
Repeating the importance of personal freedom and relief for emphasis.
And then you vanish in the haze
Similar to lines 5 and 16, disappearing into uncertainty due to self-focus.
Nowadays nobody wonders
Restating the lack of wonder at someone leaving what they love.
Youre leaving what you love
Continued indifference to the departure of cherished things.
Nowadays nobody cares
Reiteration of societal apathy towards others' feelings.
If you dont care
Emphasizing the insignificance of others' opinions about one's indifference.
For anyone else but yourself
Final reinforcement of the theme of prioritizing oneself over others.
