The Way It Is
Navigating Life's Maze: Reflections on Loss, Redemption, and the Unavoidable Struggles
Lyrics
Have you ever felt so used before?
Questioning if one has experienced feeling used or taken advantage of previously.
Given all you got just to give some more
Having given all one has and yet feeling the need to give more.
Have you ever felt you need to get away..
Feeling the urge or necessity to escape from a situation or circumstance.
Right as you go something makes you stay
Despite the desire to leave, something holds one back or prevents them from doing so.
Sometimes it feels like that’s all I know..
Expressing the feeling that familiarity with such situations is predominant.
Sometimes it feels I got nowhere to go..
Feeling directionless or lacking options in certain situations.
You can start to wonder bout the ones you’ve lost
Reflecting on those who have been lost or left behind.
Start to think you’re someone that you’re not..
Starting to believe or act in ways that don’t align with one's true self.
We can sit around and ask why
Contemplating reasons behind certain events or actions.
Some they hurt and some they lie
Observing that some individuals cause harm or deceive.
Spend your time feeling bad for your self
Spending time feeling sorry for oneself.
You know it won’t do any good now
Realizing that dwelling on self-pity is not productive.
We can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
Waiting passively for a call or change that might not come.
Bad men will still do bad things
Understanding that despite waiting, some individuals will continue their negative actions.
Maybe in the end it’s not worth your time, it’ll drive you mad
Suggesting that investing time in certain situations might not be beneficial and can lead to frustration.
Make you loose your mind.
Implying that such situations can cause mental distress or instability.
That’s just the way it is..
Accepting that these circumstances are simply the way things are.
Have you ever felt so lost before?
Feeling utterly disoriented or without a clear path.
Can’t find your way out of the grocery store..
Using being lost in a grocery store as a metaphor for feeling directionless in life.
Caught myself staring at the beer
Noticing oneself fixating on something that might lead to negative consequences (like staring at alcohol).
Wondering how I ended up here
Questioning how one ended up in a particular situation.
Sometimes babe I think about you..
Occasionally thinking about someone significant from the past.
Sometimes I wonder if you think about me too..
Wondering whether the significant person thinks about the speaker as well.
We’re all caught up on the time we’ve lost
Being preoccupied with time lost or wasted.
Trying to be someone that we’re not
Struggling to portray oneself as someone they're not.
We can sit around and ask why
Reiterating the idea of questioning reasons or causes behind events.
Some they hurt and some they lie
Noting the existence of people who cause harm or deceive.
Spend your time feeling bad for your self
Continuing to dwell on self-pity, which is unproductive.
You know it won’t do any good now
Realizing that feeling sorry for oneself doesn’t bring any positive change.
We can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
Waiting passively for communication or change, despite knowing it might not happen.
Bad men will still do bad things
Understanding that despite waiting, negative individuals continue their actions.
Maybe in the end it’s not worth your time, it’ll drive you mad
Suggesting that investing time in certain situations might not be beneficial and can lead to frustration.
Make you loose your mind.
Implying that such situations can cause mental distress or instability.
That’s just the way it is..
Accepting that these circumstances are simply the way things are.
There are hard things in life..
Acknowledging the existence of difficult challenges in life.
There are times I want to die..
Admitting to moments where the thought of death crosses the mind.
There are places I won’t ever see,
Realizing there are certain places that may remain unexplored or unknown.
There are people I won’t ever be able to be ..
Recognizing limitations in becoming certain people due to various reasons.
