Parallel Universe
Navigating Anxious Realms: Michael Dunstan's Parallel Universe
Lyrics
I was looking for an escape
I was seeking a way to escape from something.
Now I’m searching for normality
Now I am seeking a sense of normality or routine.
An anxious dreamscape
Describing a dream filled with anxiety.
Where there is no gravity
Imagining a dream world without the constraints of gravity.
It’s a parallel universe
Referring to a different reality existing simultaneously.
One all too familiar
This parallel universe is too familiar, possibly mirroring real-life challenges.
Where everything appears the same
Despite similarities, everything feels different, especially one's self-perception.
But you’re a stranger to your own face
Feeling like a stranger to oneself in this alternate reality.
Hyper-aware, the sun warms my skin
Being highly conscious, but the warmth of the sun doesn't alleviate internal panic.
But it don’t quell the panic held within
The sun doesn't soothe the inner turmoil.
To keep it together a full-time job
Maintaining composure is a constant effort.
Anxiety’s denying me of everything I loved
Anxiety is preventing enjoyment of things once loved.
It’s a parallel universe
Reiteration of the existence of a parallel universe.
One all too familiar
Despite familiarity, this reality is unsettling.
Where everything appears the same
Things look the same, but no one recognizes or calls your name.
But no-one’s near, no-one calls your name
Isolation in the parallel universe, with no one nearby.
The coldest place, do hold on
Describing the parallel universe as the coldest place, urging to hold on.
To see tomorrow in the light of day
To endure difficulties in the hope of seeing a brighter tomorrow.
How important is to have faith
Highlighting the importance of faith in finding one's way.
The belief you’ll find your way
Encouraging belief in finding a path forward despite challenges.
