Dry Lips
Unraveling Dreams: A Melodic Odyssey of Reflection and Surrender
Lyrics
So now I'm holding in my sides
Feeling pain or discomfort, possibly emotional, and holding it within.
And my bags are over spilling
Experiencing an overflow of emotions or baggage.
This leads me to think
Contemplating the current situation.
My guts have started to boil
Sensing intense emotions, perhaps anger or frustration.
And my stomach keeps on spinning
Feeling physically and emotionally unsettled.
Thank you, my friends
Expressing gratitude to friends for support.
The next stop is not echo park
Heading to a different destination, not Echo Park.
So I shut my eyes, I'll pretend instead
Choosing to escape reality by closing one's eyes and pretending.
You don't have to tell me this is wrong
Acknowledging awareness of wrongdoing but unable to undo the past.
I know but I can't erase two years of my life
Regretting the impact of the last two years on life.
Even in my dreams if you turn up I'm unhappy
Even in dreams, encountering unhappiness when the person appears.
I take a step and carve all the horns
Taking a symbolic step and facing challenges represented by "horns."
The wings are trapped in the door
Feeling trapped or hindered in personal growth.
I sure feel the spit
Experiencing negative attention and judgment from others.
And everyone is staring, it's all so overwhelming
Overwhelmed by the intensity of the situation.
If they didn't look would I still complain?
Reflecting on whether complaints would persist if not noticed by others.
Of course I would
Acknowledging a tendency to complain regardless of attention.
A disquieting preoccupation
Expressing a disturbing fixation or obsession.
The keys to a nightmare which I taped
Having access to distressing thoughts or memories.
And made sure I watched daily
Actively engaging with and confronting unsettling thoughts.
This required a careful touch and a swinging chain
Describing a methodical approach to dealing with distress.
Put the salty water in my broken wounds
Attempting to find solace in self-inflicted pain.
Tell her I give up, he's won
Surrendering in a conflict, acknowledging defeat.
I have lost all my humanity
Feeling a loss of core human qualities, perhaps due to the conflict.
Tell her I give up
Reiterating the surrender and giving up.
I give this planet another ten years at least
Predicting a limited future for humanity on the planet.
Sarah, my sweet, Sarah, my treat
Addressing someone named Sarah affectionately.
Tell her, tell her, tell her, tell her
Repeating a plea or message to convey to Sarah.
Tell her, tell her
Continuing the plea to inform Sarah of something important.
