Under Construction
Rising from Shadows: Embracing Strength in 'Under Construction'
Lyrics
Opened up my eyes, and I try to look around
Expressing awareness and awakening, trying to observe the surroundings.
Got my head up to the sky. Got my feet down to the ground
Balancing aspirations and practicality, staying grounded while reaching for the sky.
My reflection in the mirror says "Everything is gonna be alright"
Finding reassurance in self-reflection, believing that everything will be okay.
I walk around the streets, everybody on their way
Observing others in their daily routines, feeling a sense of separateness.
And I feel like I'm a superhero only for one day
Experiencing a temporary sense of empowerment, akin to a superhero for a brief moment.
And a voice in my head whispers to me "I am still alive"
Hearing an inner voice affirming survival despite challenges.
What I can say
Expressing a struggle to articulate feelings or thoughts.
The reasons to move on
Recognizing reasons to continue, acknowledging the necessity of moving forward.
I need to stay
Emphasizing the importance of perseverance and remaining in the current situation.
All I know for me
Reflecting on personal knowledge and experiences.
I live inside a lie, so hard to see
Admitting to living a falsehood that is difficult to perceive.
No matter what I do, I need to be
Stating the necessity of being oneself, regardless of external pressures.
The person that goes on and makes me strong
Affirming the commitment to personal growth and inner strength.
Days going by, and I slowly die inside
Expressing a gradual decline in well-being and vitality.
Every single move I make seems to take me to other way
Feeling that every action leads to an undesirable outcome or direction.
Nothing is looking right, doesn't matter how hard I try
Struggling to find a positive perspective despite sincere efforts.
I try so hard to smile, but I never feel alright
Attempting to put on a happy facade but struggling to genuinely feel okay.
It will take some time to see you, and you know it's been a while
Anticipating a reunion after a prolonged separation, guided by an inner voice of reassurance.
But a voice deep inside says "Everything is gonna be alright"

What I can say
(Repetition of line 8)
The reasons to move on
(Repetition of line 9)
I need to stay
(Repetition of line 10)
All I know for me
(Repetition of line 12)
I live inside a lie, so hard to see
(Repetition of line 13)
No matter what I do, I need to be
(Repetition of line 14)
The person that goes on and makes me strong
(Repetition of line 15)
I need another day
Expressing a need for additional time and a desire to regain faith.
I need to get my faith
Struggling with faith and feeling lost despite efforts to find a path.
I get lost every time I find my way
Conveying a recurring cycle of losing one's way after seemingly finding it.
All I know for me
(Repetition of line 12)
I live inside a lie, so hard to see
(Repetition of line 13)
No matter what I do, I need to be
(Repetition of line 14)
The person that goes on and makes me strong
(Repetition of line 15)
