Caught Between
Navigating Shadows: The Struggle Between Certainty and Freedom
Lyrics
Well I'm caught between
Expressing a state of being torn or conflicted.
Certainty and the need to breathe
Weighing the desire for certainty against the necessity to breathe freely.
All I see
Observing one's surroundings or circumstances.
Is the road laid in front of me
Seeing the path or journey ahead.
And all I need
Expressing a basic need.
Is some vague complexity
Desiring a certain level of complexity or intricacy.
And I'll be free
Anticipating freedom after achieving a certain state.
To rot alone inside my conscience eternally
Expecting to decay or deteriorate within one's conscience for an indefinite duration.
The meaning's in the making
Emphasizing the importance of the journey or process over the final outcome.
Not the final resting
Highlighting that significance lies in the ongoing journey, not the ultimate conclusion.
Placing memories for the taking
Placing memories along the way for later recollection.
Searching for comfort but always breaking down
Seeking comfort but facing continuous breakdowns.
I'm always breaking down
Emphasizing the persistent nature of breakdowns.
Well I'm caught between
Reiterating the internal conflict between certainty and the need for freedom.
Certainty and the need to breathe
Repeating the dilemma of balancing certainty and the necessity to breathe.
Recurring dreams
Experiencing recurring dreams that disturb nightly sleep.
Disrupting night after night of sleep
Highlighting the persistence and disruptive nature of these dreams.
And all I need
Expressing a need for substances (melatonin and kerosene) to cope.
Is melatonin and kerosene
Desiring freedom from the internal struggle within one's conscience.
And I'll be free
Emphasizing that the meaning is found in the ongoing process, not the final resolution.
From being stuck inside my conscience eternally
Stressing the internal conflict as a prolonged, eternal struggle.
The meaning's in the making
Reiterating the importance of the journey over the final resting state.
Not the final resting
Placing memories along the journey for future reflection.
Placing memories for the taking
Continuing the search for comfort but facing persistent breakdowns.
Searching for comfort but always breaking down
Emphasizing the recurring and ongoing nature of breakdowns.
We're always breaking down
Reiterating the perpetual state of breaking down.
I found peace
Finding a sense of peace but acknowledging it is external, not inherent.
It's not me
Reiterating the discovery of peace not being an intrinsic part of oneself.
I found peace
Expressing the recurrence of finding external peace, not within.
It's not me
Repeating the idea that the discovered peace is not originating from oneself.
'Cause I'm caught between
Reiterating the central theme of being caught between conflicting elements.
Yeah I'm caught between
Repeating the declaration of being caught between.
Yeah I'm caught between
Emphasizing once again the state of being caught between.
(Searching for comfort but always breaking down)
Reiterating the perpetual search for comfort amid persistent breakdowns.
Yeah I'm caught between
Continuing the theme of being caught between and searching for comfort.
(Searching for comfort but always breaking down)
Repeating the idea of searching for comfort amidst ongoing breakdowns.
But you mean everything
Concluding with the acknowledgment of the importance of someone or something despite the internal struggle.
