Sometimes
Embracing Life's Uncertainties: Matt Brouwer's Reflections
Lyrics
Sometimes I'm afraid of what I might not get to say
Sometimes there is fear of not expressing certain thoughts or feelings.
Sometimes I believe that everything is what it seems
At times, there is a belief that the apparent reality is accurate.
And we're just to scared to try
We might avoid trying due to fear, especially when faced with uncertainty.
Do we have what it takes when hope and clarity melt away
Questions arise about our capabilities when hope and clarity fade.
To rise above our mistakes
To overcome errors, there's a need to rise above and learn.
If we don't know any other way
In the absence of knowledge, we may resort to familiar paths.
And we're just too scared to try
Fear can inhibit us from attempting new things.
When it feels like there is nothing left
In challenging times, it may seem like there's nothing left.
It feels like this is as good as it gets
The situation might give the impression that it won't improve.
It feels that way sometimes
This feeling of stagnation or hopelessness occurs at times.
So let's take a second and catch our breath
Suggests taking a moment to reflect and regain composure.
And realize this isn't over yet
The situation is not concluded; there's more to come.
It just feels that way sometimes
Reiterates the occasional feeling of things being unresolved.
Sometimes there can be so much more beyond what we see
Life can offer more possibilities beyond what is immediately evident.
Sometimes I'm amazed how we see the world in different ways
Observing how people perceive the world differently can be surprising.
And we're just too scared to try
Fear might hinder exploration of alternative perspectives.
When it feels like there is nothing left
Similar to line 9, emphasizing the feeling of emptiness in difficult times.
It feels like this is as good as it gets
The situation might seem unchangeable or at its best.
It feels that way sometimes
Reiterates the occasional feeling of things being stagnant or unimprovable.
So let's take a second and catch our breath
Encourages taking a pause to assess the situation.
And realize this isn't over yet
The narrative continues; there's more to unfold.
It just feels that way sometimes
Reiterates the idea that situations are not permanently resolved.
Sometimes I'm afraid of what I might not get to say
Repetition of the fear of not expressing certain thoughts or feelings.
And we're just too scared to try
Reiterates the inhibition caused by fear of attempting new things.
Yeah we're just too scared to try
Underlines the common human tendency to avoid trying due to fear.
When it feels like there is nothing left
A recurrence of the feeling of emptiness or hopelessness in tough times.
It feels like this is as good as it gets
Reiterates the perception that the situation won't improve.
It feels that way sometimes
Expresses the occasional feeling of things being at their limit.
So let's take a second and catch our breath
Recommends taking a break to assess and gather strength.
And realize this isn't over yet
Asserts that the situation is still unfolding, not definitively concluded.
It just feels that way sometimes
Reiterates the recurring feeling of unresolved situations.
So let's take a second and catch our breath
Encourages a moment of reflection and composure.
And realize this isn't over yet
Reinforces the idea that the situation is not definitively over.
It just feels that way sometimes
Reiterates the occasional feeling of things being unresolved or ongoing.
