After My Convalescent Leave
Navigating Solitude: Jersey Water's Reflections on Life's Storms
Lyrics
After my convalescent leave
Recovery period has ended
And I'm back to the north
Returned to a northern location
And I'm the loneliest cloud left after the storm
Feeling isolated after a difficult situation
And I'm tired
Emotionally or physically exhausted
You say I'm always tired
Someone else perceives constant fatigue
When I was a boy I used to ride to the beach
Reflecting on childhood experiences
I had my Discman
Had a portable CD player
I had my CDs
Possessed a collection of CDs
And I was dying
Felt extreme emotional distress
At least I thought I was
Believed in experiencing intense emotions
Without my hands I thought I'd forget how to love
Fear of losing ability to love without physical capabilities
And I brought all my things out to the garage
Placing belongings in storage
And I brought all my things out to the garage
Repetition emphasizing the act of storing things away
But it was just you and me then
Remembering a time when it was just two people
Yeah, it was just you and me then
Reiterating the previous reminiscence
I wasn't built for the spotlight
Not suited for attention or fame
I was built for the wings
More inclined towards support roles than the spotlight
But I tried
Attempted to adapt despite natural inclination
Yeah, I tried
Acknowledgment of making an effort
