Lyrics
"Take it all and go on"
Expressing a willingness to accept everything and move forward.
I've been trying, I haven't got that far
Acknowledging efforts but feeling a lack of significant progress.
Lost myself in a wave of absent thought
Feeling lost in deep contemplation, detached from the present.
Did I deserve this? What'd it cost?
Questioning if the current situation is deserved and reflecting on its cost.
Think they want something that I'm not
Awareness that others may desire qualities not possessed.
Half a mind to go
Contemplating a decision, torn between two options.
Stay in the valley, time moves slow
Choosing to stay in a difficult situation where time feels slow.
Think of any ways I'd hurt the ones
Reflecting on potential harm caused to loved ones.
Who bleed my own blood, time has come
Acknowledging the inevitability of facing consequences.
And some things can't just be undone
Accepting the irreversibility of certain actions.
I see it now
A realization dawning on the speaker.
I'd been focused on myself
Admitting a past focus on self rather than others.
And it wore me down
Recognizing the toll of self-centeredness.
When I pushed you out
Regret for pushing someone important away.
And I can't change how I'd been
Acceptance of past actions and their impact.
But maybe I can fix things
A commitment to fixing things and making amends.
If you want to hear me out
Offering to explain and seeking understanding.
But if you want, I can let you down
Acknowledging the possibility of disappointing again.
I've been trying to feign some comfort
Attempting to pretend ease and solace.
Trying to hold appearances that I can keep
Trying to maintain a facade despite inner turmoil.
My guilt subdued without reconciling
Suppressing guilt without addressing the underlying issues.
I see it now
A repetition of the earlier realization.
I'd been focused on myself
Reiterating past self-centeredness and its consequences.
And it wore me down
Highlighting the toll of self-focused behavior.
When I pushed you out
Repeating the regret for pushing someone away.
And I can't change how I'd been
Reiterating acceptance of past actions and their impact.
But maybe I can fix things
Continued commitment to making amends and fixing things.
If you want to hear me out
Offering an opportunity to listen and understand.
But if you want, I can let you down
Highlighting the possibility of disappointment once again.
Would it make a difference now?
Pondering if a change in approach would matter.
So I'll be right in the valley
Placing oneself in a challenging situation, perhaps a metaphorical valley.
Where god has turned and run
Describing a moment where faith or support has been lost.
And everyone I've loved is gone
Expressing a sense of loss with the absence of loved ones.
I see it now
Repeating the realization of past self-centeredness.
I'd been focused on myself
Reiterating the toll of self-focused behavior on oneself.
And it wore me down
Repeating the regret for pushing someone away.
When I pushed you out
Reiterating acceptance of past actions and their impact.
And I can't change how I'd been
Continued commitment to making amends and fixing things.
But maybe I can fix things
Offering an opportunity to listen and understand.
If you want to hear me out
Highlighting the possibility of disappointment once again.
But if you want, I can let you down
Repeating the option to let someone down if they desire.
