Twenty Two
Navigating Life's Turbulence: Emotions of Growth and Isolation
Lyrics
Does it ever feel like time is floating backwards
Reflecting on the perception that time feels reversed or regressive.
You're growing up but you get sadder as you go
Growing up is accompanied by increasing sadness.
It always seemed like 22 was all you wanted
Expressing a desire for the age of 22, suggesting it as an ideal or desired state.
But you never knew that pain was all you'd ever know
Realizing that pain is an integral part of life, contrary to the idealized vision of age 22.
Crawling at dawn with broken bottles
Engaging in risky and destructive behavior during the early hours of the day.
Running and hiding from my cynical problems
Escaping and avoiding problems with a cynical mindset.
Binging and starving cause everybody else has it together
Experiencing extremes of overindulgence and deprivation due to comparison with others.
I guess they're better than me
Feeling inferior to others who appear to have their lives together.
I'm stuck in a vicious cycle
Being trapped in a repeating and harmful pattern of behavior.
Where my mind is in denial
Experiencing denial as a defense mechanism within the mind.
Cause I don't wanna be here anymore
Expressing a strong desire to escape the current situation or existence.
I'm tainted
Feeling tainted or corrupted.
Awaiting for my trial
Awaiting judgment or facing consequences for one's actions.
I guess it's just survival
Surviving in a challenging environment, suggesting resilience.
No wonder I was made to be alone
Believing that being alone is a natural state, possibly due to difficulties in connection.
Does it ever feel like time is moving faster
Contemplating the acceleration of time.
You close your eyes for just a second
Realizing the rapid passage of time as one blinks or closes their eyes.
Now you're grown up and depressed
Feeling the weight of depression despite growing up.
I know there's plenty to be thankful for
Recognizing gratitude for positive aspects of life, yet struggling with inner turmoil.
But I can't shake off this dreadful feeling in my chest
Experiencing an overwhelming and distressing feeling in the chest.
Putting on all my best faces
Pretending and presenting a facade to the outside world.
Searching for feeling in the worst of places
Searching for meaning or satisfaction in unlikely and negative places.
Never enough cause everybody else has it together
Feeling inadequate compared to others who seem to have their lives together.
I guess they're better than me
Perceiving oneself as inferior to others.
I'm stuck in a vicious cycle
Caught in a repeating and damaging pattern of thought and behavior.
Where my mind is in denial
Experiencing a mental state of denial as a coping mechanism.
Cause I don't wanna be here anymore
Expressing a strong desire to escape from the current state of existence.
I'm tainted
Feeling tainted or corrupted.
Awaiting for my trial
Awaiting judgment or facing consequences for one's actions.
I guess it's just survival
Surviving in a challenging environment, suggesting resilience.
No wonder I was made to be alone
Believing that being alone is a natural state, possibly due to difficulties in connection.
Long gone are those blissful days
Reflecting on the passage of time and the loss of innocent and blissful days.
I wish sweet innocence stayed the same
Longing for the preservation of sweet innocence in the face of change.
Maybe it's time to let them go
Considering the necessity of letting go of the past for personal growth.
To let them go
Reiterating the need to release and move on from the past.
I'm stuck in a vicious cycle
Trapped in a repeating and harmful pattern of thought and behavior.
Where my mind is in denial
Experiencing denial as a defense mechanism within the mind.
But I guess nothing's set in stone
Recognizing that nothing is permanently fixed or predetermined.
I'm tainted
Feeling tainted or corrupted.
Awaiting for my trial
Awaiting judgment or facing consequences for one's actions.
I guess it's just survival
Surviving in a challenging environment, suggesting resilience.
Sometimes it's better just to be alone
Sometimes, it's better to embrace solitude and be alone.
