Lyrics
It's been too long, too hard, too far
Expressing a sense of enduring challenges over an extended period that have been difficult and distant.
I know you don't know me at all
Acknowledging that the speaker is not well-known to the person addressed.
I'm screaming, I'm breathing, I'm looking up at you from the floor
Describing a state of emotional turmoil, physically looking up from the floor, possibly seeking support or guidance.
I'm over, I'm under, I'm thinking that there's got to be more
Conveying a feeling of being overwhelmed and contemplating the existence of something more meaningful.
And I know these days
Reflecting on the passing of time and its transient nature.
They fade away like stealing time
Comparing the fading of days to the act of stealing time, emphasizing its inevitable passing.
Just let me be 'cause I'm alright
Requesting to be left alone, asserting that despite challenges, the speaker is okay.
I'm waking up to bigger things
Expressing a realization and acceptance of larger, more significant aspects of life.
I'm digging, I'm clawing, I'm doing anything that I can
Describing active efforts to overcome challenges, employing various strategies.
I'm dealing, I'm feeling that somethings got to give in the end
Acknowledging the need for change and anticipating a resolution to difficulties.
And I know these days
Reiterating the transient nature of time and its fading effect on experiences.
They fade away like stealing time
Warning against taking the speaker's place in facing life's challenges, asserting resilience.
Don't take my place 'cause I'm alright
Asserting personal strength and well-being, despite the challenges faced.
So kill my pain to save my pride
Expressing a desire to overcome pain while maintaining one's dignity.
Just let me be 'cause I'm alright
Reiterating the plea to be left alone, emphasizing well-being despite hardships.
Days, they fade away like stealing time
Repeating the idea of the fading of days, emphasizing the inevitability of time passing.
Don't take my place, 'cause I'm alright
Warning against taking the speaker's place, reasserting resilience and personal strength.
So kill my pain to save my pride
Expressing a desire to overcome pain while preserving one's sense of pride.
Just let me be 'cause I'm alright
Reiterating the plea to be left alone, emphasizing personal well-being despite challenges.
I'm alright
A final affirmation of the speaker's emotional state, asserting overall well-being.
