Navigating Life's Labyrinth: Paper Anthem's 'Sunday' Reflections
Lyrics
I don't know where I am
I am uncertain about my current location or state.
Don't say, that's not diplomatic
Don't express opinions that are undiplomatic or tactless.
Watch yourself
Be cautious and mindful of your actions.
And make sure that you're never too real
Avoid being too genuine or authentic.
And don't be too specific, Pacific
Don't provide too many details; keep it vague or general.
I hate this place for taking what I had
I resent this place for taking away something valuable from me.
So what I never used it
Even though I never utilized it, I feel a sense of loss.
Now, I'm starting over
Starting anew after facing challenges.
With my countless microscopic problems
Dealing with numerous small problems that seem both insignificant and considerable.
Insignificant, considerable, I'll never find out
I may never understand the depth of these issues.
And why couldn't you just tell me
Why didn't you just communicate honestly with me?
'Cause I can take it
I can handle the truth.
Now it's broken, and I'm falling
Things are broken, and I'm experiencing a downfall.
But you won't help me up
You're not extending help in my difficult situation.
But, I'm okay
Despite the challenges, I'm managing to be okay.
I wish we'd never come to the Colonies
I regret coming to this place, possibly a metaphor for a challenging situation.
And now we're stuck
Now, I feel trapped in this situation.
It's honestly too much geography for me
The geographical aspect of the challenge is overwhelming.
And why couldn't we just let them be
Why couldn't we leave things undisturbed?
Here, take a hospital
Here, take a metaphorical hospital or solution.
But God forbid your children want to come back
But don't support your children if they want to return.
No, stay where you're born
Stay in your place of birth, unless you're wealthy.
Unless you're wealthy
There's a societal bias favoring the wealthy.
Then you go where you please
Wealthy individuals have the freedom to choose where they go.
Pillage, rape, steal
Engaging in destructive actions in a system that seems inescapable.
In a system that no one can escape
Expressing frustration with the societal system.
But, I'm okay
Despite challenges, I'm managing to be okay.
I'm not an academic
I'm not an academic person.
Wish I'd done it
Regretting not pursuing academic endeavors.
It's too late, too long to start it
It's too late now to start academic pursuits.
Mathematic, cinematic
Desiring success in various fields to avoid loneliness.
Whatever it takes to not end up and be alone
It's not automatic; effort is required.
It's not automatic
No one taught us important life lessons.
Feel like no one showed us a thing
Feeling lost and seeking guidance.
So tell me how to get it
Asking for guidance on how to achieve success.
I'm okay
Despite challenges, I'm managing to be okay.
I'll stay
I'll endure and stay resilient.
Don't make me talk
Don't force me to talk about my emotions.
Know how I feel
Understanding my emotions is challenging.
See through this shield
See through my emotional defenses.
Make me feel healed
Help me feel emotionally restored.
