Navigating Doubt: Embracing Life's Last Dance
Lyrics
Here I go
Beginning a process or action
Doubting myself again
Experiencing self-doubt
Like conversations drawn out
Similar to prolonged discussions
With an old friend
Resembling conversations with a familiar person
Like a last dance that I'll never get
Comparing a final dance or chance that won’t occur
You're turning the lights down and
Symbolic of dimming lights and intimacy
Taking your dress off
Representing a vulnerable moment
It's getting way too late now
Signifying the progression of time
I prayed last night and
Referencing a prayer made in the past
I'm still poor this morning
Continuing to face financial struggle
There's no change in sight
Indicating no visible alteration or improvement
I'm tired of running away and
Expressing exhaustion from avoidance
Ignoring all the warnings
Choosing to ignore prior warnings
This isn't the same this world has prior promised to me
Noticing a disparity between expected and actual experiences in the world
So here I go
Repeating the cycle of self-doubt
Doubting myself again
Similar to earlier self-doubt experiences
Like conversations drawn out
Resembling prolonged discussions, continuing
With an old friend
Reflecting conversations with familiarity
Like a last dance that I'll never get
Comparing an elusive final opportunity
You're turning the lights down and
Symbolic of intimate, concluding moments
Taking your dress off
Indicating vulnerability
It's getting way too late now
Highlighting the passage of time
Do you ever want to erase your history?
Contemplating the desire to erase one's past
The thoughts have never been distant to me
Recalling persistent thoughts about past actions
Forget about what I have done and get rid of everyone!
Wishing to forget past deeds and disconnect from people
(I'm no poet but these words are like
Admitting the challenge of expressing thoughts coherently
Vomit forced on the page for you)
Comparing the struggle to involuntary regurgitation
You would think that it's a mystery
Pondering why one desires to avoid past events
Why I would want what's happened to never be
Questioning the motive behind wanting to alter past occurrences
That's cause I don't know where I stand
Admitting uncertainty about personal position or stance
That's cause I don't have a fucking plan
Expressing the lack of a clear plan or direction
So here I go
Repeating the cycle of self-doubt
Doubting myself again
Similar to earlier experiences of self-doubt
Like conversations drawn out
Resembling prolonged discussions, continuing
With an old friend
Reflecting conversations with familiarity
Like a last dance that I'll never get
Comparing an elusive final opportunity
You're turning the lights down and
Symbolic of intimate, concluding moments
Taking your dress off
Indicating vulnerability
It's getting way too late now
Highlighting the passage of time
So here I go, doubting myself again & its getting way too late now.
Repeating the cycle of self-doubt and acknowledging the lateness of the situation
