Today I'm Still Drowning
Navigating Shadows: Unveiling the Emotional Odyssey of 'Today I'm Still Drowning'
Lyrics
I used sorry to keep you all away
I used apologies to create distance from others
And that was my defeat
This tactic led to my failure
Cause I tore myself apart tryna hold me afloat every day
I emotionally struggled to keep myself afloat daily
So, I'm sorry
Expressing regret for my actions
Sometimes I couldn't just fix it
There were instances where I couldn't resolve issues
Lies that told a deeper truth
Lies that revealed a deeper truth
And that's when I started asking myself why
Contemplating the reasons behind my actions
I spent my time trying to be someone
Invested time in trying to be someone else
Just like in colossals
Reference to monumental struggles ("colossals")
With the rain over me
Symbolic of challenges with rain representing difficulties
A voice said you gotta live, gotta live, gotta live in darkness and fog
A voice urges living in darkness and fog
I've fallen head over heels
Fallen deeply in love or captivated by something
For something that ain't real
Falling for something that isn't genuine
Cause I've got a pretty look for what I wanna be
Desire for a certain appearance or persona
But I could never be myself
Struggling to be authentic
Do you know that I'm suffering
Expressing personal suffering
But at least tonight I don't feel like crying
Finding solace in not crying tonight
I spent my time trying to be someone
Continued efforts to be someone else
Just like in colossals
Reference again to monumental struggles ("colossals")
With the rain over me
Symbolic of challenges with rain representing difficulties
A voice said you gotta live, gotta live, gotta live in darkness and fog
A voice reiterates the need to live in darkness and fog
I've fallen head over heels
Repetition emphasizing falling deeply or being overwhelmed
I've fallen head over heels
-I've fallen head over heels
-I've fallen head over heels
-I've fallen head
-You gotta live, gotta live, you gotta
Reiteration of the imperative to live
I spent my time trying to be someone
Continued efforts to be someone else
Just like in colossals
Reference again to monumental struggles ("colossals")
With the rain over me
Symbolic of challenges with rain representing difficulties
A voice said you gotta live, gotta live, gotta live in darkness and fog
A voice emphasizes living in darkness and fog
I've fallen head over heels
Repetition of falling deeply or being overwhelmed
A voice said you gotta live, gotta live, gotta live in darkness and fog
-I've fallen head over heels
Reiteration of the imperative to live in darkness and fog
You gotta live, gotta live, you gotta
Emphasis on the necessity to live
You gotta live, gotta live, you gotta
-You gotta live, gotta live, you gotta
Final emphasis on the imperative to live
