Sober
Struggling with Change: Embracing Growth and Fear
Lyrics
For months on end
Reflecting on a prolonged period of time
You cared enough
Acknowledging someone cared
About the future
Concern for the future
But I fucked that up
Admitting personal mistakes and failures
I turned away any signs of progress
Rejecting signs of improvement or growth
And for what it's worth
Expressing a sense of being stuck
I guess I'm stuck
Realizing the consequences of choices
Writing songs about growing up
Channeling experiences into creative pursuits
I'm just getting taller
Metaphorical growth, not just physical
Cause you're alone
Acknowledging personal loneliness
And I'm afraid
Expressing fear and uncertainty
There's nothing much left to lose
Feeling a sense of emptiness or lack
There's nothing much left to lose
Repeating a sense of emptiness or lack
Cause you're alone
Reiterating personal loneliness
And I'm afraid
Reiterating fear and uncertainty
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Expressing willingness to take drastic actions
There's nothing that I can do
Feeling powerless in the situation
I don't want to play the starring role
Rejecting a prominent role in life
In the only show I've never seen
Feeling excluded and recovering from excess
I feel left out I feel hungover
Associating sadness with the process of becoming sober
I'm only sad
Clarifying sadness as a result of sobriety
Cause I'm getting sober
Desiring personal space and recovery
Just let me breathe
Pleading for room to breathe and cope
Just let me breathe
Repeating the plea for breathing space
Give me all you've got
Seeking full commitment from others
Till you've got nothing
Desiring complete emotional investment
Till you've got nothing
Repeating the desire for emotional investment
Give me all you've got
Requesting complete effort until exhaustion
Till there's nothing left
Continuing to seek full commitment
Till there's nothing left
Emphasizing the desire for exhaustive effort
This stone will never sink if it's not thrown
Reflecting on resilience despite challenges
But who's supposed to be in control
Questioning who holds control in life
This stone will never sink if it's not thrown
Repeating the idea of resilience
But who's supposed to be in control
Reiterating the question of control
In control
Emphasizing the theme of control
Give me all you've got
Repeating the plea for complete effort
Till you've got nothing
Continuing the request for full commitment
Till you've got nothing
Reiterating the request for complete effort
Give me all you've got
Persisting in seeking exhaustive commitment
Till there's nothing left
Stressing the desire for complete effort
Till there's nothing left
Emphasizing the need for exhaustive commitment
I feel so numb
Expressing emotional numbness
Do you hate who I've become?
Questioning acceptance of personal changes
I want to play my part
Expressing a desire to contribute to life
But I'm waiting for life to start
Waiting for a meaningful start to life
We haven't come far
Reflecting on limited progress or growth
