Better Off
Rising Above Storms: Unveiling Hope in Painting Promises' 'Better Off'
Lyrics
I was always lost with nothing to help me cope
I experienced a sense of confusion and emptiness with no coping mechanisms.
Then I reached for you and regained all sight of my hope
Upon reaching out to you, I regained my hope and clarity.
Pour me another shot of clarity
Request for another moment of clear understanding, symbolized by a shot of clarity.
Give me one single moment
Desire for a singular moment, an opportunity to be liberated.
A chance to be free
Asking for a chance to be free from constraints.
I'll show you what I'm made of
Expressing confidence in revealing one's true self.
Just sing this with me
Inviting someone to sing along, possibly to share the experience or emotions.
I'm turning questions into pure free vision
Transforming uncertainties into clear insight and understanding.
Show me all the truths
Request to reveal all truths, an openness to understanding.
And I know I'm the one always asking these questions
Acknowledging a pattern of being the one who consistently asks probing questions.
I'm sinking in the waves
Feeling overwhelmed and engulfed in challenges or difficulties.
I'm drowning myself but you showed me the way
Acknowledging personal struggles but being guided by someone to navigate through them.
Leave it in the rain
Suggesting leaving something behind, letting it go, as it's better off in the past.
It's better off there anyway
Implies that letting go is beneficial and preferable, especially in the face of challenges.
Wash away the pain
Expressing a desire to cleanse and heal emotional pain.
Take it from the start from when you stole my heart
Referring to the beginning of a significant relationship that had a profound impact.
From when you stole my heart
Reiteration of the impact of someone stealing the singer's heart.
I have no clue what's good for me
Admitting uncertainty about what is beneficial for oneself.
Take everything to set me free
Willingness to let go of everything for the sake of freedom.
I've known all along that it's you
Affirmation that the person being addressed is the key to the singer's life and truth.
My only life the only truth
Highlighting the importance of the addressed person as the sole truth in the singer's life.
This life, everything it holds
Reflection on life and its contents as personally owned and attainable.
Is mine just for the taking
Asserting ownership and control over one's life and its opportunities.
There is nothing that can hinder me
Expressing confidence that nothing can impede or obstruct progress.
I'll be set free
Anticipating liberation and freedom from constraints.
Leave it in the rain
Reiteration of the idea that leaving something behind, in the rain, is advantageous.
It's better off there anyway
Emphasizing the benefits of letting go and leaving things in the past.
Wash away the pain
Reiterating the desire to cleanse and heal emotional pain through a symbolic act.
Take it from the start from when you stole my heart
Returning to the beginning of a significant relationship, linking it to heart-stealing.
From when you stole my heart
Reaffirmation of the impact of someone stealing the singer's heart.
I won't cave in
Asserting resilience and determination in the face of challenges.
I won't back down
Commitment to stand firm and not yield or retreat in difficult situations.
The storm is only temporary
Viewing the storm as a temporary obstacle that will eventually pass.
