Two Step
Navigating Life's Melody: Pigeon Man's Two Step Reflections
Lyrics
It’s time to clear my head of these thoughts that tear away at my sanity
Feeling the need to clear the mind of disturbing thoughts affecting sanity
Like if I’m dead or I'm not, will that compromise my humanity?
Questioning whether death affects human essence or identity
Is my mind truly secluded behind erratic emotions
Wondering if emotions isolate the mind
I hope to find it rebooted not pulled out further to the ocean
Hoping for a mental reset, not further confusion
To question whether or not I'm sane means I haven’t lost it
Considering that questioning sanity indicates it's not completely lost
Assurance is better for thoughts, but my brain needs some defrostin’
Wanting reassurance for thoughts, while acknowledging a need to refresh the mind
I used to be so composed, but my mind's frayed and can’t go back
Feeling a departure from a previously composed state of mind
Now I reflect and propose my train of thought's run off its tracks
Realizing thoughts have derailed from their usual course
The pressure of life modulated the pitch and transposed the melody
Life’s challenges altering perspective and altering the essence of life experiences
Redefining the sound, oscillated and switched from a major to minor key
Life changes modifying the perception from positive to negative
And as life changes you learn that a change in direction's your inevitable fate
Adapting to life changes becomes an unavoidable destiny
It must be a U-turn ‘cause a change in direction makes you turn away
Realizing a change in direction means moving away from initial ambitions
From the path I had carved in the direction of my dreams
Straying from the planned path towards dreams
In the past the future looked like perfection but it seems
Previously imagined future perfection now appears uncertain
Nothing is stable; redefining values and ideals
Life’s instability leading to a reevaluation of values and beliefs
I doubt I’ll ever be able to homologize the way I feel
Uncertain about ever reconciling conflicting emotions
Perplexed by my emotions and what they’re supposed to mean
Feeling perplexed by the significance of emotions
Too complex for any motion towards my undecided dream
Emotions too complicated to drive towards an undecided dream
Aging should help me develop it as I gain new affections
Expecting personal growth with age and new feelings
But growing up is all relative; up is just a new direction
Realizing that growing up is subjective and not a fixed upward trajectory
The pressure of life modulated the pitch and transposed the melody
Reiteration of life’s pressures changing perception and experiences
Redefining the sound, oscillated and switched from a major to minor key
Continuing impact of life changes altering emotional tone
And as life changes you learn that a change in direction's your inevitable fate
Accepting a change in life direction as an unavoidable truth
It must be a U-turn ‘cause a change in direction makes you turn away
Realizing that changing course leads to turning away from initial paths
Call me narcissistic, cynical and my point is missed
Receiving judgment for realistic viewpoints about the world
I’m a realistic individual who sees the world as it is
Seeing the world with a pragmatic perspective
There’s a pressure in the pathless woods that gnaws at me consistently
Feeling constant pressure in a directionless situation
I’m not sure if it’s bad or good; what’s gone maybe is meant to be
Uncertain if the absence of certain things is meant to be
I’ve lost my sense of stability and can’t fathom what’s to come for me
Lost in anticipation of the future, gaining mental adaptability
But am gaining mental agility and am better than who I used to be
Not certain about the future but certain of personal growth
I’ll clear my head and get up and let uncertainty’s noose unwind
Deciding to clear the mind and face uncertainties
The present’s nothing but a setup for an elaborate punchline
Viewing the present as a lead-up to an unexpected outcome
The pressure of life modulated the pitch and transposed the melody
Repeating the theme of life’s pressures altering perception
Redefining the sound, oscillated and switched from a major to minor key
Continued impact of life changes on emotions and perspectives
And as life changes you learn that a change in direction's your inevitable fate
Learning to accept change as an inevitable part of life
It must be a U-turn ‘cause a change in direction makes you turn away
Realizing that changing direction implies moving away from the original path
