Daze Go By
Unveiling Life's Daze: Katlyn Barnes' Powerful ReflectionLyrics
She was just 18 living life with no dreams
At 18, she lived without aspirations.
Tossed around like a paper doll it seemed
Her life felt aimless and easily influenced.
Sculpted to reach the top
She was shaped to achieve success.
Money and cars but the pain could not
Wealth and possessions couldn't alleviate her pain.
Ease until she swallowed a pill each day
To numb the pain, she took a pill daily.
Feel the daze
Repeated emphasis on experiencing a daze.
Feel the daze
-Feel the daze
-Feel the daze go by
Experiencing the passing of time in a daze.
It never ends
Emphasizing the perpetual nature of her struggles.
Never ends
-When you're stuck in unending night
Being stuck in an endless night metaphorically.
Feel the daze
Continuation of the daze experience.
Feel the daze slip away into the light
The daze fades away, moving towards brightness.
Let the daze go by
Letting the daze pass without interference.
She was not one to be called
She didn't conform to the "Miss Independent" stereotype.
Miss Independent
Despite not being Miss Independent, men failed her.
But every man dropped the ball
Men disappointed her when her mother passed away.
When her mama went
Left with prayer as her only option.
Nothing left but to pray
Holding back tears and seeking a way out.
Holding the tears
She's gradually losing herself.
Needing a way
Repetition of feeling the daze.
She's slowly slipping away
-Feel the daze
-Feel the daze
-Feel the daze
-Feel the daze go by
Experiencing the passage of time in a daze.
It never ends
Highlighting the endless nature of her situation.
Never ends
-When you're stuck in unending night
Being trapped in an unending night.
Feel the daze
Continuing to feel the daze.
Feel the daze slip away into the light
The daze slipping away towards light.
Let the daze go by
Encouraging the letting go of the daze.
Let the daze go by
Repeated urging to let the daze go into the light.
Let the daze go by
-Into the light
-Don't let it slip away
A final plea not to let the opportunity slip away.
