The Failsafe
Embracing Imperfections: The Failsafe Journey of Resilience
Lyrics
It's hard to forget all the little things I had before
Reflecting on the difficulty of forgetting small details from the past.
I took for granted
Realizing that these details were taken for granted.
All those things are gone, it hurts me to the core
Expressing pain caused by the absence of those things now.
Why can't I hit erase to void all my mistakes
Desire to erase past mistakes and start anew.
I don't care, I'm not scared
Indifference towards consequences; focused on closeness.
I just want to get a little bit closer
Seeking emotional proximity to the past.
To the past, bring me back
Wishing to revisit the past; reluctance for it to end.
I don't want everything to be over
Fear of losing everything in its entirety.
They say that I don't care
Conflict between perceptions and personal feelings.
I say that it's not fair, I'm human
Asserting humanity despite misconceptions.
Yes I've got a heartbeat
Confirmation of being alive and vulnerable.
My fair share of defeats caused these scars
Acknowledging scars from past failures.
If I let my guard down, I might start to break down
Fear of emotional breakdown if defenses weaken.
But I'll hide my grievances in pen
Choosing to express pain through writing.
I don't want to count them
Reluctance to tally or dwell on grievances.
It's gone too far
Sense of things going too far or becoming irreparable.
Why can't I hit erase to void all my mistakes, I
Reiteration of desire to erase mistakes and move forward.
Just want to turn the page
Expressing intent to start anew and progress.
So I'll engage my failsafe
Intention to activate a contingency plan or a last resort.
I don't care, I'm not scared
Repeated indifference towards consequences, seeking closeness.
I just want to get a little bit closer
Desire for emotional proximity to the past, reiterated.
To the past, bring me back
Reiterating the wish to return to the past.
I don't want everything to be over
Reluctance for everything to come to an end.
They say that I don't care
Conflict between external perceptions and personal emotions.
They say that it's not fair
Reiteration of the unfairness of misperception.
Cause I've got a heartbeat
Confirmation of being alive and vulnerable, repeated.
I don't care, I'm not scared
Reiteration of the desire for emotional proximity to the past.
I just want to get a little bit closer
Reiterating the wish to revisit the past.
To the past, bring me back
Reluctance for everything to come to an end, reiterated.
I don't want everything to be over
Final expression of resistance towards closure.
