Desperate Days
Navigating Desperate Days: A Rival Waves Odyssey
Lyrics
Stood outside myself for way too long
Feeling detached from oneself for an extended period
Took a wrong turn, headed back home
Made a mistake and retracing steps towards home
It's these desperate days, that we run from
Trying to escape challenging and difficult times
Looking backward
Reflecting on the past
Rushing headlong
Moving forward hastily
Barely holding on
Hanging on with great difficulty
Let go of the reins
Releasing control and searching for an elusive pain
To find a phantom pain
Exploring a pain that doesn't physically exist
And modes of pretext
Methods of pretending that inadvertently reveal the truth
That give it all away
Signs or behaviors that unintentionally disclose everything
Lies based on truth's distrust
Falsehoods rooted in a lack of trust in truth
No self, just self-destruct
Absence of self, leading to self-destructive tendencies
Digressed by designed fear
Deviation caused by fear intentionally designed
It's more fun to disappear
Finding enjoyment in disappearing or escaping
Bleeding out and feeling nothing wrong
Experiencing emotional pain without acknowledging it
A broken will remaining headstrong
Remaining strong despite a shattered will
It's these desperate days, that we run from
Trying to avoid challenging days
On our knees
Being in a position of vulnerability
A lapsed salvation
Loss of faith that has lapsed or expired
Barely holding on
Holding on desperately despite challenges
Another loss of faith
Experiencing another setback in faith
Can never be erased
A setback that cannot be forgotten or undone
Lawless grifters abound
Unlawful tricksters prevailing everywhere
To put you in your place
Forcing someone into their designated role or position
Lies based on truth's distrust
Deception rooted in a lack of trust in truth
No self, just self-destruct
Absence of self leading to self-destructive tendencies (repeated)
Digressed by designed fear
Deviation caused by fear intentionally designed (repeated)
It's more fun to disappear
Finding enjoyment in disappearing or escaping (repeated)
(Surrender)
Surrendering to a situation
Personal truth
Individual truth that doesn't demand evidence
Never calls for proof
Belief without the need for proof in personal truths
Half-baked collusion
Partial and inadequate collaboration leading to disillusionment
Breeds disillusion
Collaboration that breeds disappointment
Lies based on truth's distrust
Deception rooted in a lack of trust in truth (repeated)
No self, just self-destruct
Absence of self leading to self-destructive tendencies (repeated)
Digressed by designed fear
Deviation caused by fear intentionally designed (repeated)
It's more fun to disappear
Finding enjoyment in disappearing or escaping (repeated)
Disappear…
The act of disappearing
