Waking Up
Emotional Turmoil: Battling Night's Grip in 'Waking Up'
Lyrics
One, two, three, four
Counting off, starting something
I tried waking up
The attempt to wake up, likely metaphorical for facing reality
But the night paralyzed me and
The darkness or difficulties of the night hindered progress
Ripped out my soul i tried waking up with a
Feeling emotionally drained or hurt deeply
I tried waking up
Reiterated attempt to awaken, emphasizing struggle
But the light I can't seem to a hold
Difficulty holding on to positivity or hope
I tried waking up
Continued effort to wake up despite challenges
But the thought of you leaving
The idea of someone departing causing emotional pain
Has left me so cold
Feeling emotionally isolated or distant due to departure
I tried drinking you down
Attempting to numb the pain with alcohol
Down to the bottle of my empty glass
Trying to drown sorrows or emotions
I tried drinking you down too fast
Trying to cope too quickly but failing
I tried drinking you down
Continuing efforts to use alcohol as a coping mechanism
But the bottle don't end with
Realization that drinking doesn't solve the problem
The end I was told i tried drinking you down
Feeling the absence of closure or resolution
But the thought of you leaving
Linking departure with emotional distress
Has left me so cold
Continued emotional impact of the departure
I tried lighting up
Attempting to find solace or distraction, possibly through smoking
But the smoke here don't go when
Difficulty in moving past difficulties or problems
I'm done with it all
Feeling trapped or unable to escape
I tried lighting up my damn phone
Trying to connect with someone (metaphorically or literally)
I tried lighting up
Continued efforts to seek connection or distraction
But the high doesn't fix it like I was told
Realization that distractions don’t provide relief as expected
I tried lighting up
Persistent attempts to find solace or escape
But the thought of you leaving
Reiterating the emotional impact of departure
Has left me so cold
Emphasizing the lasting emotional effect of departure
