Running Out
Surviving the Abyss: Juliana Hatfield's Reflection on Desperation and Choices
Lyrics
Everyone alive is a survivor
Everyone who's still alive has managed to overcome challenges or difficult situations.
And everything's the matter
Everything seems to be problematic or troubling.
You're too young to die
You're too young to face death.
In a double suicide
There's a suggestion of a joint act of ending one's life with someone else.
With the wrong guy
Specifically, with the wrong partner or person.
What of all the paths you tried to take?
Reflection on the various choices or routes taken in life.
To want too much way your mistake.
Desiring too much might have been a mistake.
You're running out of reasons
The reasons for continuing or believing in something are diminishing.
You're running out of faith
There's a dwindling belief or trust.
And promises are nothing
Promises hold no value; they're made and broken easily.
They're broken as they're made.
They're unreliable and not kept.
You're running out of answers
Running out of solutions or responses to problems.
Can't give you any more
Unable to provide more answers or solutions.
You're running out of everything
Exhausting everything available; nearing the end of resources or capabilities.
You're running out the door.
Leaving or escaping from a situation or commitment.
It's not supposed to be like this
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current circumstances; things were not expected to be this way.
Can this be all there is?
Questioning if this is the entirety of existence or if there's more.
You keep pushing your luck
Continuously taking risks or chances despite the odds.
Too stupid to give up
Stubbornness in persisting even when it might be wiser to stop.
You dream bigger
Dreaming big but facing more significant setbacks.
You fall harder.
Facing more severe consequences when these dreams fail.
You think of things that should have never happened
Recalling events that were regrettable and should not have occurred.
You think of all the things that never will.
Thinking about things that won't ever come to pass.
You're running out of reasons
Repetition of losing reasons or motivations to continue.
You're running out of faith
Facing a decline in trust or belief.
And promises are nothing
Reiteration that promises hold no weight; they're easily broken.
They're broken as they're made.
They're unreliable and not fulfilled.
You're running out of money
Financial resources are depleting.
And you don't know how to say
Struggling to express the need for assistance or support.
Can you help me? I'm drifting away
Feeling a sense of drifting away or losing connection and seeking help.
