Alone
Navigating the Depths: Medicine Boy's Reflections on Solitude and Struggle
Lyrics
I bite my tongue just to cough it up
I restrain myself from speaking just to express my emotions
I count my blessings just to slander my luck
I acknowledge the positive aspects of my life only to criticize my luck
I’m feeling good but I want it to stop
Despite feeling content, I desire the sensation to end
Kinda like it at the bottom, wanna get to the top
Enjoying the bottom, but aspiring to reach the top
I just wanna be alone
Expressing a desire to be alone
I just wanna be on my own
Expressing a desire to be independent
It doesn’t mean that I love you less
Clarifying that seeking solitude doesn't diminish love
Honey, I’m just trying to do my best for you
Assuring a commitment to doing one's best for a loved one
Well I’ve spent most my life in a beautiful place
Reflecting on a past spent in a beautiful place
Now I spend most my time feeling unsafe
Currently feeling a pervasive sense of insecurity
My lines are blurred
Indicating a lack of clarity in one's thoughts or direction
My fingers crossed
Expressing hope or anticipation, possibly with uncertainty
I feel right at home, I feel completely lost
Feeling both at home and lost simultaneously
I just wanna be alone
Reiterating the desire for solitude
I just wanna be on my own
Reiterating the desire for independence
It doesn’t mean that I love you less
Reassuring that the desire for solitude doesn't diminish love
Honey, I’m just trying to be my best for you
Reassuring commitment to being the best for a loved one
Giving up and giving in
Expressing a sense of surrender or resignation
What’s there to do but do it all over again?
Questioning the point of actions when faced with repetition
