All Hung Up
Unmasking Myself: Navigating Dreams and Realities
Lyrics
Waking up just to face myself
Waking up and confronting one's own identity and self.
Dancing on the edge of places that I can't go
Engaging in activities that are beyond reach or forbidden.
Catch reflections of how I get by now
Reflecting on coping mechanisms and survival strategies.
Writing off every vice I hide
Denying or dismissing personal flaws and habits.
It's a back and forth pretending that I don't mind
Alternating between pretending not to care and caring deeply.
Staying grounded when I just want to fly
Struggling to stay grounded while desiring freedom.
All hung up on what if's and who I thought I'd be by now
Being preoccupied with unrealized possibilities and self-perceptions.
All hung up on people I loved who aren't around
Mourning the absence of loved ones from the past.
Showing up but I force myself
Obligating oneself to attend events or situations despite reluctance.
Standing on the edge of not being genuine
Struggling with authenticity and standing on the edge of pretense.
Take my picture of how I smile now
Documenting the current state of happiness or contentment.
Taking off every mask I wear
Removing the layers of disguise and revealing true self.
It's a back and forth I used to pretend to care
Previously pretending to care, but now embracing honesty.
Now I'm honest when I just want to lie
Being truthful even when the desire is to deceive.
All hung up on what if's and who I thought I'd be by now
Continuing to dwell on unfulfilled expectations and self-identity.
All hung up on people I loved who aren't around
Mourning the absence of past relationships.
All caught up in thinking how I could turn this upside down
Entangled in thoughts about changing the current situation.
All caught up in losing this fear of missing out
Overcoming the fear of missing out and getting caught up in it.
All hung up on what if's and who I thought I'd be by now
Revisiting unrealized possibilities and self-perceptions.
All hung up on people I loved
Continuing to lament the absence of past relationships.
All hung up on image and how I thought I'd look by now
Being preoccupied with self-image and unmet expectations.
All hung up on being enough for someone else
Struggling with self-worth and adequacy for others.
Am I good enough for someone else
Questioning personal worthiness for someone else.
Is it good enough for someone else
Assessing if one's efforts or achievements meet external standards.
Am I good enough
Seeking affirmation and validation regarding personal worth.
Am I good enough
Continuing to question one's own adequacy and self-worth.
Am I good enough
Persistently questioning and seeking reassurance about personal worth.
