How It Goes
Chasing Hope: A Reflection on Choices and Consequences
Lyrics
I need a second just to make up my mind
I need a moment to decide.
cos ive been chasing it now for what seems like miles
I've been pursuing it for a long time.
I dread to think that I wont catch it in time
I fear I might not catch it in time.
before the hope begins to wear at the rind
Before optimism starts to wear thin.
remind me how it goes?
Remind me of the process or situation.
Its been a while
It has been a considerable amount of time.
or if it even goes
Questioning if the process exists.
anymore
Uncertain if it functions as before.
shoot the light to pledge allegiance tonight
Direct the light to express loyalty tonight.
but masquerade your jubilation for peace
Disguise your joy for peace.
the clause a safety net
A provision as a safety measure.
to self justify
Justifying one's actions to oneself.
that what you've done was always worth it if free
Believing that your actions are justified if freedom is achieved.
remind me how it goes?
Reiterate the process or situation.
Its been a while
A substantial amount of time has passed.
or if it even goes
Questioning the continued existence of the process.
anymore
Doubting if it still operates as before.
well lets face it its
Admitting that it's time wasted.
my time wasted
Acknowledging personal responsibility for wasted time.
well lets face it
Confronting the reality of the situation.
I'm to blame here
Taking responsibility for the outcome.
well lets face it its
Recognizing the time that has been squandered.
my time wasted
Acknowledging personal responsibility again.
well lets face it
Facing the truth of the situation.
I'm to blame
Taking ownership of the blame.
when the apple falls
When facing consequences, it's my responsibility.
its my neck it rolls down
The repercussions affect me directly.
swallow the core
Accepting the consequences without complaint.
without spitting any pips out
Enduring difficulties without expressing discontent.
then await the tree
Anticipating the growth of a metaphorical tree within.
growing inside me
A metaphor for internal development.
another playground fantasy
A reference to an imaginary or unattainable desire.
