Nostalgia
Embracing Change: Navigating Memories in Mariah Colon's Nostalgia
Lyrics
I got trouble in my soul
I am experiencing inner turmoil or conflict.
Everybody knows this
This struggle is well-known or evident to others.
I try to work it on my own
I attempt to deal with my issues independently.
Even when I'm hurting
Even when I'm in pain, I persevere.
But lately I don't even try
Lately, I have been neglecting efforts to overcome challenges.
I'm healing on the Inside
I am undergoing a process of emotional healing.
I got these visions on my mind
I have vivid thoughts or dreams occupying my consciousness.
Im everything I needed
I possess all the qualities or attributes I need.
Now
This may be a transitional moment in my life.
Cause I don't even try to run from my past
I no longer actively try to escape my past.
It keeps following me it keeps coming back
Past experiences persistently resurface in my life.
I can't tell you there's a place to go
I cannot provide a specific solution or destination for resolution.
The answers there you just don't even know
The solution exists, but awareness of it is lacking.
You just don't even know
This lack of awareness is emphasized.
I think I might've lost my mind
I may be experiencing a sense of disorientation or mental confusion.
On another planet
At some point, I felt disconnected from reality.
When I was dreaming of this time
In the past, I envisioned the current moment.
But the memories vanished
Those envisioned memories have faded away.
And if you look up to the sky sky sky
Observing the sky, clouds move swiftly.
The clouds are blowing right by
Analogous to a kaleidoscope, my perception is dynamic.
Kaleidoscope in my eyes eyes eyes
I have gained a new perspective on life.
I finally felt the colors now
Colors symbolize emotions, and I am experiencing a range of them.
Cause I don't even try to run from my past
I still confront my past without actively avoiding it.
It keeps following me it keeps coming back
The past continues to influence my present.
I can't tell you there's a place to go there answers there you just don't even know yet
There may be answers or solutions, but awareness is lacking.
You just don't even know yet
Emphasizing the ongoing lack of awareness.
There's a world I wanted to go
I aspired to explore a different world.
It's a little much different than home
This world is noticeably distinct from my familiar surroundings.
If I wanted to follow my heart
To follow my true desires, I had to sever ties from the beginning.
I had to cut the ties off from the start
To live authentically, I needed to cut off certain connections.
I can't live in nostalgia today
I cannot dwell on past memories today.
I can't live in nostalgia today
I must focus on the present rather than getting lost in nostalgia.
