Downhill From Here
Navigating Life's Uncertainties: Downhill Perspectives
Lyrics
I'm done taking advice from anybody under fifty
I no longer seek guidance from individuals under fifty years old.
Spent too much of my time hoping somebody could fix me
I've invested too much time hoping others could solve my problems.
Hinge my confidence on thoughtful friends
I base my confidence on the advice of thoughtful friends.
So when I mess up it's not all my fault but
I tend to attribute my mistakes partly to others.
I'm done taking advice from anybody under fifty
Reiteration: I don't take advice from those under fifty.
Swore I'd never end up feeling bitter and jaded
I vowed to avoid becoming resentful and cynical.
Next thing I knew I was someone I would've hated
However, I've become someone I would have disliked.
You can think it won't get worse
No matter how bad things seem, they can worsen unexpectedly.
Then the floor disappears
Circumstances can change suddenly, making things more challenging.
You can know something for sure
Certainty can vanish unexpectedly.
Then it's gone in a year
What you know to be true can disappear within a year.
And I miss those younger days
I miss the clarity I had in my younger days.
When it all felt clear
Things used to be more straightforward.
And I knew what to fear
I knew what to be afraid of back then.
Is it all downhill from here?
Questioning if life will only worsen from this point.
Found the love of my life but I still get kinda lonely
Even though I found love, I still experience loneliness.
No one says what it's like when the feelings don't come easy
No one talks about the difficulties when emotions aren't effortless.
You can love someone with all you got
You can love intensely, but it may not be sufficient.
But it doesn't mean it'll be enough
Loving deeply doesn't guarantee fulfillment.
Yeah, it's not all black and white wish somebody would've told me
Life isn't just black and white as I wish I had been told.
Swore I'd never end up feeling bitter and jaded
Reiteration: I promised not to become resentful and cynical.
Next thing I knew I was someone I would've hated
Yet, I've transformed into someone I dislike.
You can think it won't get worse
Unexpected turns can make situations worse.
Then the floor disappears
What you believe to be stable can vanish suddenly.
You can know something for sure
Even certainties can disappear within a year.
Then it's gone in a year
Things that seemed unquestionable can change unexpectedly.
And I miss those younger days
I miss the clarity I had in my younger days.
When it all felt clear
Life used to feel simpler.
And I knew what to fear
I knew what scared me back then.
Is it all downhill from here?
Repetition of questioning if life will only worsen.
Is it all downhill from here?
Reiteration: Wondering if things will only decline from here.
Is it all downhill from here?
Continuing to question if life's trajectory is downward.
I'm done taking advice from anybody under fifty
Reiteration: I don't seek advice from individuals under fifty.
