Free to Be Lonely
Embracing Chaos: Finding Liberation in Life's Messiness
Lyrics
One-track mind
Expressing a narrow focus or obsession
With no street smarts
Lacking practical knowledge or streetwise skills
Another existential crisis
Experiencing a deep contemplation of existence
Would probably get the job done
Suggesting that facing a crisis might bring resolution
You're not hopeless
Acknowledging potential and not being without hope
But I think you've done enough
Implying that the individual has reached a limit
Can't you see that you're a goddamn mess, man?
Highlighting the messy state of the person's life
You've gotta pick yourself up
Encouraging self-recovery and resilience
Cuz we've all got a lot on our plate
Emphasizing shared challenges and responsibilities
Despite how gross and bad your shitty life can taste
Acknowledging life's unpleasantness and difficulty
You've gotta take a little time and let it go to waste
Suggesting the importance of taking time for oneself
See I used to think it was the end of days
Reflecting on a past perception of impending doom
But it's been a little while since I've felt that way
Indicating a positive change in the individual's outlook
We've all got a lot on our plate
Reiterating shared challenges and responsibilities
What if I said to you
Offering empathy and claiming understanding
That I knew what you were going through?
Asserting a level of comprehension about the other's experience
You're losing sleep
Describing sleep loss due to anxiety or worry
Because your nerves keep you up at night
Granting permission to embrace loneliness
You're free to be lonely if you like
Expressing the freedom to choose solitude
Because I spent a year of my life feeling repressed
Sharing a personal experience of repression
I spent the next year alone fucking depressed
Recalling a period of deep depression and isolation
And now I'm finding ways to vent to you
Discussing finding outlets for emotional expression
And I'm knocking out that list of things I have to do
Listing tasks and responsibilities being tackled
Fucking finally
Expressing a sense of accomplishment or relief
Despite how gross and bad your shitty life can taste
Reiterating the challenges and taste of a difficult life
You've gotta take a little time and let it go to waste
Reinforcing the importance of wasting time for self-care
See I used to think it was the end of days
Reflecting on a previous perception of impending doom
But it's been a little while since I've felt that way
Noting a positive shift in the individual's feelings
Yeah it's been a little while since I've felt that way
Highlighting an extended period of improved well-being
And so you fucked it up once let's be frank–
Addressing past mistakes and acknowledging future errors
You know you're gonna make mistakes no matter what
Recognizing the inevitability of making mistakes
And sure you knew better but that's part of growing up
Acknowledging the learning process and growth
