Swing
Swinging Through Twenties: Battling Inner Demons
Lyrics
I've been feeling stagnant and cracked underneath
Expressing a feeling of stagnation and vulnerability
I try to sleep it off but I can feel it in my dreams
Attempting to escape the feeling through sleep, but it persists in dreams
I'll give them what they wanna see
Commitment to showing others what they want to see
A kid lost in his twenties
Describing oneself as a young person lost in their twenties
Oh, what a sight to see
Reflecting on the spectacle of being lost
Constant pressure weighing down on me
Feeling constant pressure and the expectation that it will improve
It gets better, they want me to believe
Contrasting the pressure with the desire for improvement
Constant pressure weighing down on me
Reiteration of the constant pressure and the expectation for improvement
It gets better, they want me to believe
Reiterating the desire to believe that it gets better
Not much to show for this time spent alone
Reflecting on a lack of tangible achievements during time spent alone
I swing but I miss every time
Expressing effort (swinging) but consistently failing
Not much to show for this time spent alone
Reiteration of the lack of achievements during alone time
I swing but I miss every time
Reiteration of the struggle and failure despite effort (swinging)
There's so much fight inside, and I've fought the good fight
Acknowledging internal strength and past struggles
But I just can't let this one go
Despite strength, unable to overcome the current challenge
Feel the rush of blood beneath the skin
Sensations of intensity and pressure beneath the surface
Can't keep myself from dwelling on this like you did
Comparing experiences to someone else's, dwelling on it
Cause it's so dark here, more than it ever is
Describing a dark emotional state
Close the shades, clear my head, slump back to bed again
Seeking solace by closing off from the world
I've always wanted to believe that this meant something
Longing to believe that the experiences have significant meaning
We've always wanted to believe that this meant something
Shared desire with others for meaningful experiences
Not much to show for this time spent alone
Reiteration of the lack of tangible achievements during alone time
I swing but I miss every time
Reiteration of the effort (swinging) and persistent failure
There's so much fight inside, and I've fought the good fight
Acknowledging internal strength and past struggles
But I just can't let this one go
Despite strength, unable to let go of a specific issue
Not much to show for this time spent alone
Reiteration of the lack of achievements during alone time
I swing but I miss every time
Reiteration of the effort (swinging) and persistent failure
There's so much fight inside, and I've fought the good fight
Acknowledging internal strength and past struggles
But I just can't let this one go
Despite strength, unable to let go of a specific issue
There's so much fight left inside
Highlighting the persistence of internal strength and the ongoing struggle
