mellow maniac
Soul-searching Anthem: Mellow Maniac
Lyrics
Am I just the opening act
Questioning if the singer is merely an initial performance before being forgotten.
A name to be forgotten in the night's aftermath
Feeling like a name that will fade away after the night is over.
An album without its title track
Comparing oneself to an incomplete project or story without its essential element.
Anchorless at sea with no hope of coming back
Feeling lost and without direction, unable to return.
Better say my prayers here tonight
Expressing a need to pray or seek solace before a perceived crisis.
Lately, they've been sounding like
Recent prayers sounding increasingly desperate or devoid of hope.
Is this what I was made for
Questioning the purpose or reason for one's existence.
Am I letting you down
Wondering if the singer is disappointing someone or something.
Did I find myself on the wrong path
Feeling as if one has chosen the incorrect life path.
Did I chase the crowd
Questioning if the singer followed the masses instead of their true desires.
Am I just a mellow maniac
Describing oneself as a calm yet obsessive individual.
Driving across the country just to drive myself right back
Driving extensively without progress or resolution.
Thinking it might ease the attacks
Attempting a journey to alleviate mental or emotional struggles.
How did I get myself thinking that life might work like that
Reflecting on misguided beliefs about life and its predictability.
Better say my prayers here tonight
Expressing the need for solace or guidance through prayer.
Lately, They've been sounding like
Continued feelings of despair or hopelessness in recent prayers.
Is this what I was made for
Questioning the purpose or reason for one's existence (repeated line).
Am I letting you down
Wondering if the singer is disappointing someone or something (repeated line).
Did I find myself on the wrong path
Feeling as if one has chosen the incorrect life path (repeated line).
Did I chase the crown
Questioning if the singer pursued superficial or unfulfilling goals.
