Afterneath
Navigating Depths: Unveiling Life's Submerged Challenges in 'Afterneath'
Lyrics
I made a list of all you've done wrong this week
I cataloged all your recent mistakes
I swallowed it whole and wondered why I couldn't breathe
I internalized these mistakes and felt suffocated
Let's build a ship
Let's create something new
And load it fear
Fill it with apprehension or worry
And I'll punch a hole in the hull
I'll intentionally cause a problem or ruin the plan
I can't understand
I'm unable to comprehend
Why this always sinks
Why this consistently fails or collapses
Let's all pretend
Let's collectively act as if everything is fine
That we can breathe underwater
To pretend we can adapt to difficult situations
Afterneath
After the end or underneath
If you call for help then I won't have to admit that I need help too
If you seek assistance, I can avoid acknowledging my own need for help
Shocked by disaster
Surprised and affected by a catastrophe
Confusing mistakes as just more accidents
Mistakes are perceived as mere coincidental mishaps
I can't understand
I'm unable to comprehend
Why this always sinks
Why this consistently fails or collapses
Let's all pretend
Let's collectively act as if everything is fine
That we can breathe underwater
To pretend we can adapt to difficult situations
Afterneath
After the end or underneath
I told you I knew how to swim but I'm not sure when I learned
I claimed to possess a skill but uncertain of its acquisition
There's drowning people everywhere and I wish it weren't my turn
There are people struggling everywhere, and I wish I wasn't in a similar situation
