No Sense
Lost Shadows and Lavender Dreams
Lyrics
With no wind beneath my wings
Expressing a lack of support or encouragement in pursuing goals or dreams.
No air in my lungs
Feeling breathless or suffocated, possibly indicating emotional or creative stagnation.
No ground to stand on
Feeling unsteady or without a stable foundation in life.
Just a hole I dug
Metaphorically describing a self-created predicament or problem.
Trading favors with people I don't know
Engaging in transactions or relationships with unfamiliar or untrustworthy individuals.
My work isn't my own
Suggesting a lack of autonomy or control over one's professional life.
And the skeletons in my closet are overgrown
Referring to hidden or unresolved issues and challenges in the past.
While looking for my shadow
Searching for one's identity or self-awareness.
I began my quest to lose myself over and over
Embarking on a journey of self-discovery and repeated attempts to lose oneself.
And live with what was left
Accepting and living with the consequences of personal choices and experiences.
Near the end, I was down to my teeth
Symbolizing a state of extreme vulnerability or depletion.
Til they took a chunk out of my sylph and screamed "bon appetit"
Experiencing a significant loss, possibly of one's essence or spirit.
And as they screamed, my tongue began to stretch
Metaphorically describing the stretching or distortion of one's communication or expression.
It reached for the light but landed on the desk
Attempting to reach for enlightenment or positivity but falling short.
As I licked the varnish, I tasted the stain
Metaphorically tasting the consequences or negativity in one's life.
Thought about the other me and why things had to change
Reflecting on personal change and the reasons behind it.
And when I woke I looked more like you
Transforming into something more conventional or ordinary, losing individuality.
Smelled like lavender but felt like a shoe
Contrasting external appearances with internal feelings, possibly discomfort.
After a thousand miles, we still got two to go
Expressing a long and challenging journey with some distance yet to cover.
I could use a slip n slide or a strong ass cup of joe
Desiring a simple, enjoyable experience or a strong boost of energy.
And if you thought I've been making no sense
Addressing the perception of incomprehensibility in the speaker's actions or words.
I've been this way for a long time, but lately it feels relevant
Acknowledging a prolonged state of confusion or lack of clarity, which now feels significant.
