A Year in Decline
Rising from Shadows: Unveiling the Depths of A Year in Decline
Lyrics
I guess I should be a little stronger than I am,
I acknowledge that I should possess more strength than I currently do.
A little stronger like I promised I'd be.
I should exhibit the strength that I promised to have.
Now I know what doesn't kill you makes you weak.
I've realized that experiences that don't destroy you only make you vulnerable.
And I wish I could be a little smarter than I am,
I desire to be more intelligent than my current state.
A little quicker than I was the last time.
I wish to be quicker than I was in the past.
Now it seems the ground is frozen to my feet.
Feeling stuck or paralyzed, unable to move forward.
I could make this world,
I have the potential to shape the world.
I could make it happen,
Expressing the ability to bring about change.
If I wanted to
If I choose, I can make a difference in the world.
I could make this work,
I have the ability to make things work, to achieve success.
I could make it happen,
I can make positive outcomes happen if I decide to.
If I wanted to
Expressing the potential to bring about positive change.
But I can't sleep,
Unable to sleep without the presence of a significant other.
If you're not laying next to me
Highlighting the importance of a partner in finding peace and rest.
Sing a sweeter song,
Encouraging the singing of a more positive and uplifting song.
Sing a song of love and faith,
Advocating for songs that express love, faith, courage, and devotion.
Sing a song of courage and devotion.
Encouraging the recall of positive emotions through singing.
Sing it til we all remember how it feels.
Recollecting the joyous feeling when celebratory songs fill our homes.
When celebration songs are filling up our houses,
I will love the earth again,
Expressing a commitment to love the Earth once more.
I will know my name again,
Committing to self-discovery and understanding one's identity.
I will find my place again.
Committing to finding one's place in the world.
And I could make this work,
Emphasizing the ability to make things work and bring about positive change.
I could make it happen,
Expressing the potential to make positive outcomes a reality.
If I wanted to
Reiterating the ability to shape and improve the world.
I could wake this up,
Expressing the potential to awaken dormant or suppressed potential.
My little sleeping dragon,
Using the metaphor of a sleeping dragon to represent untapped power.
If I wanted to
Highlighting the potential to awaken and utilize dormant abilities.
But I can't sleep,
If you're not laying next to me.
Stressing the difficulty in finding rest without a loved one nearby.
It's incomplete,
Describing a sense of incompleteness, possibly related to the absence of a partner.
There's plenty quiet,
Noting the existence of quietness but the absence of true peace.
But never peace.
So sing it out!
Encouraging the vocal expression of positive and angelic qualities.
Like angels perched on steady shoulders.
Encouraging the casting away of negative influences or tendencies.
And cast them down!
Urging the rejection of negative aspects of human nature.
Those devils of our lesser natures
