Body
Finding Peace Amid Life's Chaos
Lyrics
It was out of the question to see or be seen
Expressing difficulty in engaging with others or being noticed.
Caught under a landslide of all of these memories
Feeling overwhelmed by a flood of memories.
I’m getting back to my body, I’m getting out of my head
Reconnecting with one's physical self and moving away from overthinking.
It’s been a long time in the chasing and
Acknowledging a prolonged pursuit or search.
the making of a good life
Reflecting on the process of building a fulfilling life.
So here I am, on a beautiful day
Presenting the speaker in a moment on a pleasant day.
Looking out the window at the traffic on the east side of LA
Observing the external world, specifically traffic in LA.
Overthinking as usual about the right things to say
Engaging in overthinking, particularly about choosing the right words.
I guess I just get nervous when things are going ok
Expressing nervousness during positive situations.
But whatever happens is probably gonna happen anyway
Accepting that outcomes are beyond control.
You can drive yourself crazy, reading the news
Commenting on the anxiety-inducing nature of current events.
There’s too much information,
Highlighting the overwhelming amount of information available.
we all got the information blues
Describing a shared sense of dissatisfaction with available information.
And a short span of attention and a kink in our neck
Mentioning a short attention span and physical discomfort, perhaps from stress.
I wanna put it down, look around, and just let myself feel it
Expressing a desire to pause, appreciate the surroundings, and experience emotions.
When the world was a bonfire
Recalling a past time of vibrant and intense experiences.
you wanted to dance around it
Remembering a time when dancing around life's challenges was desirable.
But if I told you then, what you could have been
Pondering if revealing potential futures would have affected choices.
Would you have turned around?
Raising the question of whether knowledge of potential outcomes would have altered decisions.
Would you have listened?
Asking if advice or insights would have been heeded.
If I told you then, what you could have been
Repeating the theme of wondering about the impact of sharing potential futures.
Would you have turned around?
Reiterating the question of whether advice or insights would have been taken seriously.
Would you have even listened?
Emphasizing uncertainty about the reception of shared guidance or information.
