Kicking Dust
Unveiling the Turmoil Within: Kicking Dust by Placeholder
Lyrics
As hard as they may try the leaves are destined to fall down
Despite efforts, nature's cycle ensures the inevitable fall of leaves.
Now I walk this lonely street and drag my feet across the ground
Walking a desolate path, dragging feet in weariness.
Kicking the dust up, our times up
Kicking up dust, implying a sense of urgency or unrest, and acknowledging the end of a period.
And I can't carry on, but still I try
Struggling to continue despite challenges and hardships.
To sober up on drugs and wine
Attempting to find clarity or sobriety through substances.
And I'm a liar, but you're a thief
Acknowledging personal flaws, with a contrast to someone else being dishonest.
I didn't realise, we were playing for keeps
Realization of the seriousness of a situation, possibly a relationship.
And I'm broken, but I'll show them
Feeling emotionally shattered but determined to demonstrate resilience.
I'm moving on, moving on
Deciding to move forward despite difficulties.
Another year has gone away, one full of life and of decay,
Reflecting on the passage of time, including both vitality and deterioration.
I went in search for something more, and ended closing my door
Seeking more in life but closing oneself off in the process.
I wake up at 4 pm, I'll put a smile on just for them
Adopting a facade of happiness for others while dealing with personal struggles.
Sleep is my only escape, I'll lay down and drift away
Sleep as a means of escape from the challenges of reality.
Here I am stuck fucking up, out of luck and missing you
Recognizing personal failures and missing someone.
No I'm wide awake I feel asleep, or somewhere in between
Confusion or feeling neither awake nor asleep.
And still I try, to sober up my state of mind
Continuing efforts to regain mental clarity.
And I'm a liar, but you're a thief
Repeating acknowledgment of personal dishonesty and someone else being deceptive.
I didn't realise, we were playing for keeps
Realizing the seriousness of a situation, possibly a relationship.
And I'm broken, but I'll show them
Feeling emotionally shattered but determined to demonstrate resilience.
I'm moving on, moving on
Deciding to move forward despite difficulties.
Another year has gone away, one full of life and of decay,
Reflecting on the passage of time, including both vitality and deterioration.
I went in search for something more, and ended closing my door
Seeking more in life but closing oneself off in the process.
I wake up at 4 pm, I'll put a smile on just for them
Adopting a facade of happiness for others while dealing with personal struggles.
Sleep is my only escape, I'll lay down and drift away
Sleep as a means of escape from the challenges of reality.
Just watch it break me tell me that I'm faking
Facing criticism and potential breakdown, challenging others to see the impact.
Forget that it's harder now to fall asleep
Recognizing the increasing difficulty of falling asleep, possibly due to emotional turmoil.
Look into my eyes tell me those white lies
Desiring honesty but being told comforting lies.
Say that we're alright, we're alright
Seeking assurance that everything is fine despite internal struggles.
But I know that we're hurting on the inside
Acknowledging internal pain despite external appearances.
And it's not fair , but why would you care
Expressing a sense of unfairness and questioning the concern of others.
Break me, tell me that I'm the greatest mistake you ever made
Inviting rejection and criticism, possibly due to a self-awareness of mistakes.
I won't hang around, you'll forget me
Accepting an eventual departure, anticipating being forgotten.
Keep telling your lies, to feed your ego
Highlighting a pattern of dishonesty to boost one's self-esteem.
Cause I know, how messed up you are inside
Understanding the internal struggles of someone else.
Another year has gone away, one full of life and of decay,
Reflecting on the passage of time, including both vitality and deterioration.
I went in search for something more, and ended closing my door
Seeking more in life but closing oneself off in the process.
Look into my eyes, tell me those white lies
Desiring honesty but being told comforting lies.
Look into my eyes , tell me those white lies
Desiring honesty but being told comforting lies (repeated).
And it's not fair , but why would you care
Expressing a sense of unfairness and questioning the concern of others (repeated).
