Hungover
Navigating Shadows: Embracing the Morning After
Lyrics
If something dark's around the corner I will help you get back up
If there's trouble ahead, I'll support you in overcoming it
cause there's no shame in being hungover if the night was worth the rough
Being hungover is acceptable if the preceding night was enjoyable
I was helping you to heal before you went and changed your mind
I was helping you heal, but you changed your mind
suddenly there's no hand on your shoulder
Suddenly, you're alone without support
and you wonder why
Questioning the absence of support and understanding
If I do something are we left broken?
Concerns about actions leading to a broken relationship
If I do nothing are we left hoping?
Wondering if inaction leads to hopelessness
well why waste your time
Suggesting not to waste time on something unproductive
go look for something better than I
Encouraging the search for something better
Go ahead put pen to paper you are free to speak your mind
Encouraging freedom of expression
I know you think its all been said before
Belief that opinions have been expressed before
ah hell just say it twice
Encouragement to speak up despite repetition
There ain't a book in any library that talks the way you talk
Your unique voice stands out, not found in conventional sources
Suddenly they're looking for the answer
Your words are sought after for solutions
and its you they quote
Recognition of the value of your perspective
If I do something are we left broken?
Fear that actions may lead to a broken relationship
If I do nothing are we left hoping?
Fear that inaction may lead to unfulfilled hopes
If I do the right thing, well damn near perfect.
Recognition of the potential for near-perfection in doing the right thing
If I do the wrong thing then was it worth it?
Questioning the worth of doing the wrong thing
Well why waste your time, go look for something better than I
Suggesting the search for something better than the current situation
Why waste your life being here by my side every morning and every night
Questioning the value of spending time together
One day you'll see I am too unhappy for you to save me
A prediction that personal unhappiness may prevent being saved by another
I can't get out of my head
Feeling trapped in one's own thoughts
If I do the right thing, well damn near perfect.
Recognition of the potential for near-perfection in doing the right thing (repeated)
If I do the wrong thing then was it worth it?
Questioning the worth of doing the wrong thing (repeated)
Well why waste your time, go look for something better than I
Suggesting the search for something better than the current situation (repeated)
