Become This Way
Becoming Lost: Reflection on Isolation
Lyrics
This lone wolf mentality
This individual adopts a solitary mindset.
Is gonna be the death of me
Expresses a belief that the lone wolf mentality will lead to personal destruction.
It seems as though it's far too late
Suggests a sense of despair, feeling that it's too late for positive change.
For a light to pull me from this place
Describes a lack of hope for a guiding light to rescue from the current state.
Mindlessly avoiding trust
Acting without trust, potentially leading to the loss of everything valued.
Until everything I love is lost
Continues the theme of avoiding trust, leading to the potential loss of love.
Never known another way
States a lifelong adherence to a particular way of living.
Just waste away another day
Choosing to waste time instead of actively engaging with life.
And through my reflection I can see
Self-reflection reveals the danger associated with this personality.
The danger of this personality
Recognition of the harmful traits associated with the current personality.
I separate and isolate
Actively distancing oneself from both loved ones and enemies.
Myself from those I love and hate
Isolation from those with both positive and negative relationships.
Shelter me and hide away
Seeking refuge and withdrawal from the world.
Left alone to contemplate
Left alone to deeply think and ponder.
Why I have become this way
The central theme: questioning why the individual has become this way.
All these thoughts won't leave my brain
The persistence of troubling thoughts in the mind.
Spreading doubt, fear and pain
Thoughts spreading negativity, doubt, fear, and pain.
Like a virus it overtakes
Comparing the negative impact to a virus overwhelming the person.
Leaves me broken and afraid
Resulting in personal brokenness and fear.
I need to learn to let you in
Recognizing the need to open up and trust others.
Know I'm not alone in this
Acknowledging that others share similar struggles.
There is time for me to change
Belief in the possibility of personal change over time.
Myself from all these ugly ways
Commitment to overcoming negative traits.
And through my reflection I can see
Reiteration of the danger in the current personality.
The danger of this personality
Repeating the recognition of harmful traits within.
I separate and isolate
Continued separation and isolation from loved ones and enemies.
Myself from those I love and hate
Persisting in keeping a distance from both positive and negative connections.
Shelter me and hide away
Seeking shelter and withdrawal from the external world.
Left alone to contemplate
Left alone once again to reflect deeply.
I separate and isolate
Reiteration of self-separation and isolation.
Myself from those I love and hate
Continued distancing from both loved ones and enemies.
Shelter me and hide away
Repeating the desire to withdraw and seek refuge.
Left alone to contemplate
Remaining alone to contemplate one's state.
I separate and isolate
Persisting in the separation and isolation from relationships.
Myself from those I love and hate
Continued avoidance of both positive and negative connections.
Shelter me and hide away
Desire to seek shelter and hide from the external world.
Left alone to contemplate
Left alone once again for deep contemplation.
Why I have become this way
Reiteration of the central question: why has the person become this way?
Why have I become this way
Repeating the introspective query about the reasons behind the current state.
