Lyrics
Beauty lies in the eyes of beholders
Beauty is subjective and perceived differently by different people.
They cannot see what they see
Others may not understand or perceive things the same way as someone else does.
"Maybe you'll figure it out when you're older"
Suggests that understanding may come with age and experience.
Am I right where I'm supposed to be?
Questioning whether the current situation aligns with what's expected or intended.
How long can this valley be?
Expresses impatience or frustration with the duration of a challenging period.
I'm ready for the peak
Feeling prepared or eager for a successful outcome or culmination.
Too soon, we grow old
People age quickly according to societal expectations.
Too slow, we're told
Things are perceived as slow, contrary to what's advised or expected.
That the greatest things in life often fade away with time
Important aspects of life often diminish over time.
We're lost and it goes to show
Feeling directionless or uncertain, revealing the feeling of being lost.
There's still so much left to know
There's much yet to be discovered or understood.
I was lost in a personal hell
Was deeply troubled or distressed in a personal struggle.
Blamed everything but myself
Blamed external factors rather than taking personal responsibility.
But how could I hold on?
Questioning the ability to hold on or persevere.
Is there nothing else?
Is there nothing else to consider or pursue?
I hear the difference in the things I say
Aware of changes in one's own perspectives or words.
The only person standing in my way
Realization that self-obstruction is the main obstacle.
Is a man in the mirror standing across from me
Inner conflict represented by the persona facing themselves.
How long can this valley be?
Continued frustration with the duration of a challenging period.
I'm ready for the peak
Anticipation or readiness for achieving a goal or success.
And how long can this ebbing continue?
Questioning the duration of a receding phase, ready for a change or progress.
I'm ready for flow
Prepared or eager for a period of growth or advancement.
Too soon, we grow old
Reiteration of the societal pressure of aging quickly.
& too slow, we're told
Things perceived as slow against societal expectations.
That the greatest things in life often fade away with time
Reiteration that valuable things tend to diminish over time.
We're lost and it goes to show
Feeling lost, signifying an ongoing state of uncertainty.
There's still so much left to know
Recognition that there's much more to learn or comprehend.
I could only pray that there's a point in the end
Hoping for a meaningful conclusion or purpose, or perhaps considering the absence of one.
Or maybe nothing at all
Contemplating the possibility of nothingness as an outcome.
Too soon, we grow old
Reiteration of societal pressures related to aging.
Too slow, we're told
Things perceived as slow against societal expectations.
That the greatest things in life often fade away with time
Reiteration that valuable things tend to diminish over time.
We're lost and it goes to show
Feeling lost, emphasizing the ongoing uncertainty.
There's still so much left to know
Acknowledgment that there's still a lot more to learn or understand.
