The Pattern
Breaking the Cycle: Inner Struggles and Self-Inflicted Pain
Lyrics
Why do I do that if it makes me so sad?
Questioning the reason behind engaging in activities causing sadness.
Why do I go there if I'm just hiding out?
Questioning the motive behind hiding out instead of facing challenges.
Sometimes I feel superior
Expressing moments of feeling superior to others.
Then like I don't exist
Feeling a sense of non-existence despite superiority at times.
I hit myself where it hurts the most
Engaging in self-destructive behavior, metaphorically hitting oneself emotionally.
I probably should quit
Recognizing the need to quit destructive habits.
Doing what I do
Reflecting on the repetitive nature of harmful actions.
Doing what I do
-Why can't I be honest when it matters most?
Questioning the difficulty of being honest in crucial situations.
I step around the painful truth take it out on myself
Acknowledging avoidance of painful truths and self-infliction as a coping mechanism.
Sometimes it all feels urgent
Feeling a sense of urgency to confront issues.
I've gotta just commit
Recognizing the need for commitment to addressing issues.
But then I hit myself where it hurts the most
Repeating the cycle of self-harm despite awareness.
I know I've gotta quit
Understanding the necessity to quit destructive patterns.
Doing what I do
Emphasizing the harm caused by repetitive actions to oneself.
Doing what I do
-Doing what I do
-I'm only hurting myself
Acknowledging the self-inflicted nature of the pain.
Doing what I do
Continuing harmful behavior despite awareness.
Won't catch me asking for help
Resisting seeking help despite the need for support.
The pattern
Introducing the theme of a recurring pattern of self-destructive behavior.
Repeat, repeat
Highlighting the repetition of the destructive cycle.
Until the cycle's complete
-The pattern
Reiterating the cyclical nature of harmful actions.
Repeat, repeat
-Until the cycle's complete
Emphasizing the completion of the destructive cycle.
Why do I do that if it makes me so sad?
Revisiting the initial questioning of engaging in activities causing sadness.
Why do I do that?
-Why do I do that?
-Why do I do that?
