The Art of Coping
Mastering Life's Challenges: Embracing Coping Strategies
Lyrics
I've come out of hiding and summed up the wasted time
I've emerged from seclusion and evaluated the time I've wasted.
As speeding up hurting
Speeding up causes pain or harm.
Coping is not a crime
Coping with difficulties isn't a wrongdoing.
I'm not self-destructing but trust me I've tried
I'm not intentionally ruining myself, but I've attempted to.
And some days are worth missing when anxiety cripples your mind
Some days are valuable, but anxiety can paralyze the mind, making them hard to appreciate.
I'm not wasting potential
I'm not squandering my abilities, just striving to progress.
I'm just tryin' to move forward
I've returned to places I tried to escape from, resulting in going in circles.
I've ran to where I've run from
Running away from things, yet ending up facing them repeatedly.
Ended up walking in circles
Encircling unresolved issues that are difficult to confront.
Around what I can't face
Avoiding what I can't confront or deal with.
What I've strategically misplaced
Strategically placing things I can't erase or remove.
What I can't erase
Things that are indelible or impossible to eliminate.
I've strategically misplaced- oh
Reiteration of strategically placed, unerasable things.
I'm not blowing chances, I'd just rather not get involved
I'm not neglecting opportunities but prefer not to engage in them.
Don't wanna be desired now that I've learned to get along, alone
After learning to cope alone, I'm not interested in being wanted or desired.
We all have different ways of dealing with it
Everyone has different ways to cope: some internalize, turn to vices, or release stress through smoking.
Some internalize, some turn to vices, some blow it out in puffs from cigarettes
Our relationship was overly intense, leading us to sever ties with our past.
You and I were much too intense
Doing anything to avoid thinking about a particular person.
Cut all ties to what we've been
Expressing determination to grasp a better understanding of coping mechanisms.
Do anything to not think of him
Repeating the resolve to move forward, not wasting potential.
I swear I'll get the swing of it, but
Returning to familiar phrases about confronting difficulties and running from them.
I'm not wasting potential
Repeatedly encountering and revolving around unresolved issues.
I'm just tryin' to move forward
A recurring cycle of seeking escape but facing the same issues.
I've ran to where I've run from
Encircling unresolved matters that are hard to confront.
Ended up walking in circles
Emphasizing the need to hold on tightly despite difficulties, assuring that things will improve.
Around what I can't face
Repeated assurance that holding on will lead to improvement.
What I've strategically misplaced
Reaffirming the message of holding on despite challenges.
What I can't erase
Stressing the importance of persisting despite difficulties.
I've strategically misplaced- oh
Reiteration of the reassurance to hold on despite adversities.
Grab hold and hold tight
Urging to cling tightly and believe that things will improve.
It'll be fine
Repeating the encouragement to hold on tightly for eventual improvement.
Grab hold and hold tight
Reaffirming the message to grasp firmly and trust in better outcomes.
It'll be fine
Continued assurance that holding on will lead to betterment.
Grab hold and hold tight
Reiteration of the advice to cling tightly, ensuring things will improve.
It'll be fine
Continued reassurance to hold on tightly, promising improvement.
I'm not wasting potential
Repeated emphasis on not wasting potential but striving to move forward.
I'm just tryin' to move forward
Emphasizing the desire to progress despite encountering familiar obstacles.
I've ran to where I've run from
Returning to familiar patterns of escaping and confronting unresolved issues.
Ended up walking in circles
Repeatedly dealing with and circling back to unresolved matters.
Grab hold and hold tight
Reiteration of the advice to hold on tightly despite hardships.
It'll be fine
Reaffirming the belief that holding on tightly will result in improvement.
Grab hold and hold tight
Continued assurance that holding on tightly will lead to betterment.
It'll be fine
Reiteration of the encouragement to hold on tightly, promising improvement.
