Lyrics
Send me off to sleep
Expressing a desire to be taken into a state of sleep.
Let me drift away beneath these sheets
Desiring to peacefully drift away while lying under bed covers.
Today is in the past even though it's just begun
Reflecting on the paradox of the present being considered past.
I know I'll finish last in this race I'm yet to run
Awareness of expected failure in a future endeavor.
Something is always holding me back
Feeling restrained by something in life.
Something is always leading me off track
Experiencing frequent diversions or setbacks.
Are we ever gonna feel safe in our own skin?
Pondering the possibility of feeling secure in one's own identity.
Ever gonna heal from these wars we've fought in?
Questioning the likelihood of recovering from past emotional battles.
I'm not so sure we will
Expressing doubt about achieving a sense of safety.
I'm not so sure we will
Reiterating uncertainty about attaining a feeling of safety.
Are we six foot deep?
Contemplating the idea of being buried six feet under, possibly metaphorical.
Because a breath of air feels so damn far out of reach
Expressing a sense of difficulty in reaching a breath of fresh air.
If only we could see that it's only an illusion
Recognizing that the perceived distance may be illusory.
We're so close now, but we're caught up in confusion
Feeling close to a resolution but entangled in confusion.
Something is always holding me back
Reiterating a sense of being hindered in progress.
Leading me off track
Continuing to be led astray from the intended path.
Are we ever gonna feel safe in our own skin?
Questioning the prospect of feeling secure in one's identity.
Ever gonna heal from these wars we've fought in?
Doubting the possibility of recovering from past emotional conflicts.
I'm not so sure we will
Expressing skepticism about achieving a sense of safety.
I'm not so sure we will
Reiterating uncertainty about attaining a feeling of safety.
I know I'm lost, but I'm homeward bound
Acknowledging being lost but having a sense of returning home.
Are we ever gonna feel safe in our own skin?
Revisiting the question of feeling secure in one's identity.
Ever gonna heal from these wars we've fought in?
Revisiting the uncertainty of recovering from past emotional conflicts.
I'm not so sure we will
Reiterating skepticism about achieving a sense of safety.
I'm not so sure we will
Reiterating uncertainty about attaining a feeling of safety.
I know I'm lost, but I'm homeward bound
Affirming being lost but having a sense of returning home.
