Still Around
Navigating Shadows: A Poetic Journey Through Existence
Lyrics
Everything takes a little longer now
Everything in life now requires more time and effort.
Piece by piece they disappear
Gradually, elements of life are disappearing or fading away.
The parts of me that made me who I am
The aspects of my identity that defined who I am.
Most of them are no longer here
Many of those defining elements are no longer present.
I'm hanging by a thread
I am in a precarious situation, barely holding on.
holding on for dear life
Clutching tightly to life with great desperation.
But for now
Despite the challenges, there is a momentary pause.
I'm still around
Despite difficulties, I am still present and enduring.
I'm still around
Repetition emphasizes the enduring nature of the speaker.
I'm still around
-I'm still around
-I'm just floating a few inches off the ground
Existing in a somewhat detached or elevated state.
I'm still around
Reiteration of persistence and presence despite challenges.
I'm still around
-I'm still around
-You just have to look a little further
Finding the speaker requires a deeper search or understanding.
To find me
The speaker is not immediately visible; one needs to look closely.
Emotions feel a little stronger now
Emotions are more intense and heightened.
The sense of good as well as bad
Feeling both positive and negative emotions more profoundly.
I feel safe when you are happy
The speaker finds comfort in the happiness of someone else.
And I really hate to see you sad
Expressing discomfort in witnessing someone else's sadness.
Slipping through my fingers
Elements of the speaker's thoughts slipping away.
All the pieces of my mind
The integral components of the speaker's mind are elusive.
But for now
Despite challenges, the speaker remains present and enduring.
I'm still around
-I'm still around
-I'm still around
-I'm still around
-I'm just floating a few inches off the ground
Existing in a somewhat detached or elevated state.
I'm still around
Reiteration of persistence and presence despite challenges.
I'm still around
-I'm still around
-You just have to look a little further
Finding the speaker requires a deeper search or understanding.
To find me
The speaker is not immediately visible; one needs to look closely.
I'm still around
Despite challenges, the speaker remains present and enduring.
I'm still around
-I'm still around
-I'm just floating a few inches off the ground
Existing in a somewhat detached or elevated state.
I'm still around
Reiteration of persistence and presence despite challenges.
I'm still around
-I'm still around
-You just have to look a little further
Finding the speaker requires a deeper search or understanding.
To find me
The speaker is not immediately visible; one needs to look closely.
