Spice
Embracing Shadows: A Journey of Self-Discovery through 'Spice'
Lyrics
Turn myself around
Expressing a desire to change or improve oneself
Can't keep my promises
Acknowledging difficulty in keeping promises
But I can't help being like you
Recognizing a similarity with someone else despite challenges
Time and time again
Repeated mistakes or setbacks over time
You slip up and hurt yourself
Observing self-inflicted pain and harm
And you call it what you wanna call it
Defending personal choices and perspectives
Smoke inside my head
Mentioning internal struggles represented by "smoke inside my head"
Regret filling in my chest
Feeling remorse and sorrow, particularly in the chest area
Weighs me down in bed
The weight of regrets affecting the ability to sleep peacefully
Take tomorrow's happiness
Sacrificing future happiness for immediate actions
And throw it out instead
Rejecting potential joy and success
Rouged with pain, I regress
Expressing emotional pain and regression
How did I get in this mess?
Reflecting on the current difficult situation
I keep slippin', dip in n out
Repeatedly struggling and wavering
Into the boy that I thought I used to know
Identity crisis, feeling disconnected from one's past self
Sometimes I st-stumble, fumble
Admitting to occasional mistakes and missteps
Bruise my heart and soul
Physical and emotional wounds
When will I take control?
Questioning when control over life will be taken
(Don't let go, take control)
Encouraging oneself to hold on and take charge
I keep slippin', dip in n out
Repeating the cycle of inner conflict and regression
Into the boy that I thought I used to know
Similar to line 15, expressing confusion about one's identity
Sometimes I st-stumble, fumble
Reiterating occasional stumbling and fumbling in life
Bruise my heart and soul
Reaffirming emotional pain and vulnerability
When will I take control?
Repeated call for taking control of one's life
(Don't let go, take control)
Emphasizing the importance of not letting go and asserting control
(Don't let go, take control)
Repetition for emphasis on taking control
(Don't let go, take control)
-(Don't let go, take control)
-(Don't let go, take control)
-Hiding from the ones brave enough to love you
Avoiding those who genuinely care for fear of vulnerability
Just as far as I can tell
Expressing uncertainty or distance in relationships
Running from the pain
Choosing to run away from emotional pain
Never to be seen again
Indicating a desire to escape and remain unseen
But he's lurkin' like he never left
A lingering presence of past pain and experiences
Smoke inside my head
Repetition of internal struggles and regrets
Regret filling in my chest
-Weighs me down in bed
-Take tomorrow's happiness
-And throw it out instead
Continued rejection of future happiness
Rouged with pain, I regress
Reiterating emotional pain and regression
How did I get in this mess?
Questioning how the current situation unfolded
I keep slippin', dip in n out
Repeating the cycle of internal conflict and mistakes
Into the boy that I thought I used to know
-Sometimes I st-stumble, fumble
-Bruise my heart and soul
-When will I take control?
Repeating the call to take control of one's life
(Don't let go, take control)
Emphasizing the importance of not letting go and asserting control
I keep slippin', dip in n out
Continuation of the cycle of inner conflict and regression
Into the boy that I thought I used to know
-Sometimes I st-stumble, fumble
-Bruise my heart and soul
-When will I take control?
Repeated call for taking control of one's life
(Don't let go, take control)
Emphasizing the importance of not letting go and asserting control
I keep slippin', dip in n out
Repeating the cycle of internal conflict and mistakes
Into the boy that I thought I used to know
-Sometimes I st-stumble, fumble
-Bruise my heart and soul
-When will I take control?
Reaffirmation of the desire to take control of one's life
(Don't let go, take control)
Final insistence on not letting go and taking control
