Soul's Journey: Unveiling the Struggle within Effort
Lyrics
Thought if I changed myself then looking in the mirror wouldn't hurt as bad as it felt
Expressing the hope that changing oneself will alleviate the emotional pain reflected in the mirror.
Maybe if I screamed for help
Contemplating seeking help by vocalizing distress.
I wouldn't only have me to rely on because I don't know where that person's gone
Fear of relying solely on oneself, feeling lost and disconnected from a previous version of the self.
So what do I do now
A reflection on the current state of confusion, questioning the next course of action.
The silence isn't as comfortable as it sounds in the books and the movies the ones that lied to me
Contrasting the discomfort of silence with the idealized portrayal in books and movies that misled.
What was that all about
Pondering the meaning behind past actions and experiences.
Yeah it's just so cold and alone
Expressing a sense of isolation and coldness.
The only leaf left on a tree from fall and they tell me to believe that flame is still burning
Feeling like the last remaining part of a whole, with skepticism about the endurance of a supposed flame.
What the hell's all this effort for
Questioning the purpose and significance of putting in effort.
All the letters
Referencing the written communication and expression of feelings through letters.
All the words
Acknowledging the painful reality conveyed by words.
The realistic truth that hurts
Acceptance of a harsh truth that causes emotional pain.
Coz it's the same thing everyday
Highlighting the monotony and repetition of daily life.
Still gonna read the same book again and again
Continuing to engage with the same experiences, possibly to avoid change.
Couldn't dare to throw them away just pile them up, no one really cares anyways
Accumulating the weight of experiences, feeling unnoticed by others.
Because even though the truth isn't there I can't let any of them start to fade and tear oh no
Protecting the integrity of personal truths, despite their absence in reality.
So what do I do now
Reiterating the confusion about the next steps to take.
The silence isn't as comfortable as it sounds in the books and the movies the ones that lied to me
Challenging the comfort associated with silence portrayed in media.
What was that all about
Reflecting on past experiences and actions.
Yeah it's just so cold and alone
Expressing feelings of isolation and coldness.
The only leaf left on a tree from fall and they tell me to believe that flame is still burning
Doubting the lasting nature of a supposed flame in the face of solitude.
What the hell's all this effort for
Questioning the purpose and value of expending effort.
Thought if I changed myself then looking in the mirror wouldn't hurt as bad as it felt
Revisiting the idea of self-change to mitigate emotional pain.
So what do I do now
Reiterating the confusion about the next steps to take.
The silence isn't as comfortable as it sounds in the books and the movies the ones that lied to me
Challenging the comfort associated with silence portrayed in media.
What was that all about
Reflecting on past experiences and actions.
Yeah it's just so cold and alone
Expressing feelings of isolation and coldness.
The only leaf left on a tree from fall and they tell me to believe that flame is still burning
Doubting the lasting nature of a supposed flame in the face of solitude.
What the hell's all this effort for
Questioning the purpose and value of expending effort.
What the hell's all this effort for
Repeating the query about the meaning behind the effort, emphasizing the lack of clarity.
What the hell's all this effort for
Reiterating the perplexity surrounding the purpose of the invested effort.
