The Let Downs
Walking Away from Let Downs: A Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Another day in life
Expressing the routine nature of life.
Grateful to be alive
Gratitude for the gift of life.
Not everybody feels the same way that's okay
Acknowledging diverse perspectives on life and accepting differences.
Don't waste my time if that's your style
Setting a boundary against time-wasting behaviors.
Cause I've got plans don't wait up for me
Indicating personal plans and a desire for independence.
I won't be showing up this time
Choosing not to participate in a particular event or situation.
It doesn't have to be this way
Expressing a desire for a different outcome or situation.
It shouldn't have to come to this
Reflecting on a situation that should not have escalated to this point.
Can't believe I waited this long to not be proven wrong
Regret over delayed realization of a mistake or misunderstanding.
Something about this doesn't feel right
Sensing that something feels wrong or off about the situation.
I'll walk away
Deciding to distance oneself emotionally.
I'll walk away
Reiterating the decision to walk away.
I never learned that I could trust you
Lack of trust in someone or something.
Forget my name
Expressing a desire to be forgotten or overlooked.
Forget my name
Repetition of the desire to be forgotten, emphasizing detachment.
Pick it up just to put it back down
Engaging in a futile or repetitive action.
That's what you get when you're put under pressure
Consequence of facing challenges and stress.
It's all your choice anyhow
Emphasizing personal agency and the ability to make choices.
Holding close to who we were
Holding onto past identities and relationships.
As I re-write who I'm becoming
Actively reshaping one's identity and direction in life.
The days they seem to blend
Expressing the repetitive and monotonous nature of days.
Over and over again
Highlighting the cyclical nature of experiences.
My body aches from all the pain
Physical and emotional pain from experiences.
Maybe I'll see you again someday
Expressing a possibility of encountering someone in the future.
It doesn't have to be this way
Repeating the desire for a different outcome or situation.
It shouldn't have to come to this
Reflecting on a situation that should not have escalated to this point (repeated).
Can't believe I waited this long to not be proven wrong
Regret over delayed realization of a mistake or misunderstanding (repeated).
Something about this doesn't feel right
Sensing that something feels wrong or off about the situation (repeated).
I'll walk away
Deciding to distance oneself emotionally (repeated).
I'll walk away
Reiterating the decision to walk away (repeated).
I never learned that I could trust you
Lack of trust in someone or something (repeated).
Forget my name
Expressing a desire to be forgotten or overlooked (repeated).
Forget my name
Repetition of the desire to be forgotten, emphasizing detachment (repeated).
We're holding on to who were
Continuing to hold onto past identities and relationships.
We're holding on to who we were
Emphasizing the struggle of holding onto past identities and relationships.
