Higher Ground
Finding Strength Amid Chaos: "Higher Ground" by Jesse James
Lyrics
Scarred beneath my skin
Reflecting on internal emotional wounds beneath the surface of my being.
Reminds me what a mess I'm in
Acknowledging the chaotic state I find myself in and the reminder of it through my scars.
But I keep holding on
Determinedly persevering despite challenges and difficulties.
The walls are caving in
Feeling overwhelmed as if the world around me is collapsing.
I'm missing everything
Longing for elements or experiences that are currently absent.
I hope I survive
Expressing a hope for survival amid adversity.
What about my pride
Considering the impact on personal pride in the face of challenges.
What about my time
Contemplating the use of time and its significance.
What about the soul I've been searching for
Questioning the search for a deeper sense of self or purpose.
What about the truth
Raising questions about the concept of truth and its relevance.
What about the lies
Addressing the presence of lies and the fear of losing mental stability.
You know I hope you never see me lose my mind
Expressing a desire for others not to witness a deterioration of mental well-being.
Running out of line
Feeling constrained or limited in options.
Ask too much this time
Acknowledging excessive demands or expectations in a given situation.
These days when nothing's real
Reflecting on a period where reality seems elusive or distorted.
You can take your time
Encouraging patience and not rushing through life's experiences.
Getting motion sick and tired
Experiencing weariness and monotony, perhaps in relationships or life pursuits.
And find it's all you know
Realizing that what is known or familiar may be all there is.
What about my pride
Reiterating the consideration of personal pride in the context of challenges.
What about my time
Revisiting the significance of time and its allocation.
What about the soul you've been searching for
Prompting a question about the search for a deeper self in others.
What about the truth
Repeating the inquiry into the nature of truth.
What about the lies
Revisiting the theme of lies and the wish for others' mental well-being.
You know I hope I never see you lose your mind
Expressing a hope not to witness the decline of someone else's sanity.
This tastes like higher ground Pushing away the hope you found
Describing an experience that feels like a heightened state of existence, potentially associated with overcoming challenges.
This tastes like higher ground Around and around and around
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of this elevated experience.
