Wasteland
Navigating Desolation: Matt Williams' Wasteland Embraces the Cold Struggle
Lyrics
The way I am now, isn't always what you'll see
The current version of myself may not always reflect outwardly.
Soul-scarred eyes, contagious pain when I breathe
My eyes bear the marks of a wounded soul, and pain is evident in my every breath.
I try to climb out but I keep getting pulled down below
Despite my attempts to improve, I continually find myself sinking back down.
Well I never made it out but for you, a letter I wrote
I never managed to escape, but I wrote a letter for you.
And it goes
Introduction to the recurring theme of the wasteland.
In this wasteland I can't find a reason to hold on
Expressing the difficulty in finding a reason to persist in this desolate place.
Should I keep on fightin', or should I just let it all go
The internal struggle of whether to keep fighting or surrender completely.
I can't figure out what is making me feel so alone
Confusion about the source of the profound loneliness experienced.
In this wasteland I'm trapped in
Reiteration of being trapped in a metaphorical wasteland.
I am so cold
A declaration of intense emotional coldness.
The lies that I told myself, they became true
Acknowledging self-deception and the acceptance of false beliefs.
You wrote me back and you said you could feel my pain too
Recalling a response acknowledging shared pain from someone.
You're all I ever wanted, you're what I wish I needed the most
Expressing desire for the person as the ultimate need.
But I can't keep runnin' til' I find my way out of this
The pursuit of escape, emphasizing the difficulty of the journey.
Out of this hole
Highlighting the depth of the metaphorical hole or struggle.
In this wasteland I can't find a reason to hold on
Reiteration of the struggle to find purpose in the wasteland.
Should I keep on fightin', or should I just let it all go
Pondering whether to persist in the fight or surrender.
I can't figure out what is making me feel so alone
The inability to identify the cause of profound loneliness.
In this wasteland I'm trapped in
Restating being trapped in a desolate emotional state.
I am so cold, so cold
Reiterating the intense emotional coldness.
In this wasteland I can't find a reason to hold on
Continued struggle to find purpose in the wasteland.
Should I keep on fightin', or should I just let it all go
Contemplating whether to persist or surrender in the ongoing battle.
I can't figure out what is making me feel so alone
Perplexity regarding the cause of profound loneliness persists.
In this wasteland I'm trapped in
Reaffirmation of being trapped in a desolate emotional state.
I am so cold, so cold
Reiteration of the intense emotional coldness.
