Never Thought to Love Myself
Embrace the Self: Jules Avalon's Journey Through Darkness and Light
Lyrics
There have been times
Reflecting on past experiences
Where I have cried
Expressing moments of sadness
And not known why
Feeling emotional confusion
There have been times
Recalling difficult times
Where I've dimmed
Suppressing inner brightness
The lights within
Struggling with self-expression
And stumbled around, stumbled around
Navigating through mental darkness
That dark room in my head, room in my head
Referencing internal struggles
Cause when you're running away, running away
Running away from challenges
Cause when you're running away you're not looking ahead
Not focusing on the future
And you feel all alone, you feel all alone
Experiencing loneliness
Like the stone in the sky, the stone in the sky, yea
Feeling isolated like a distant stone
So you're running away looking for a win
Seeking victory in escapism
Yea, you're running away from your own skin
Running away from one's identity
She said "Pull off to the right, don't loose sight
Advice to stay on the right path
Yea, you'll be alright if you just put up a fight
Encouragement to face challenges
But don't loose your sense of self
Warning against losing oneself
Or pull off to the left this isn't a test
Emphasizing life's non-test nature
This is your life and you really ought to live it like
Advocating for a fulfilling life
You might not see another day, shelf that weight
Urgency to lighten emotional burden
Because it seems you think an awful lot
Reflecting on deep contemplation
But have you ever thought to love yourself?"
Highlighting the importance of self-love
When those times come
Navigating through challenging times
Gotta look ahead
Emphasizing the need to look forward
Yea, I gotta get out my head
Striving to overcome mental obstacles
When those time come
Devaluing the futility of certain efforts
Well, there's just no point
Rejecting the pursuit of meaning
In finding
Questioning the purpose of existence
The point of it all, the point of it all
Challenging the existence of a clear purpose
Seems there isn't one there really isn't one
Describing life's diversity and contradictions
It's all color and light, heartache and pain
Summarizing the emotional spectrum of life
Wrong and right until you're wrong again
Highlighting the cyclical nature of right and wrong
And I feel all alone, I feel all alone
Conveying a sense of isolation
Like the stone in the sky, the stone in the sky, yea
Feeling distant like a stone in the sky
I think I know until I know I don't
Acknowledging uncertainty in understanding
I try my best but maybe today I won't
Expressing the potential for failure
She said "Be your own friend, dare to pretend
Encouragement to be one's own support
That if you listen to your heart it'll all work out in the end
Promoting listening to one's heart
And trust some greater good
Encouraging faith in a greater purpose
Yea, be your own light and make your own signs
Emphasizing self-reliance and positivity
And you'll see 'em burning bright as you strut and stumble through life
Advising to create one's own path
Like neon through falling rain
Metaphor of vibrant existence despite challenges
Pictures of pain
Depicting the beauty within struggles
And now that I have heard your words
Recognition of the impact of advice
Maybe its time you hear them for your self
Encouragement to internalize self-love
Because it seems you think an awful lot
Reflection on excessive self-contemplation
But have you ever thought to love yourself?"
Reiteration of the importance of self-love
