Why I Always
Unraveling Life's Pessimistic Lens
Lyrics
Even as I rush out the door
Expressing a hurried departure
I don't know why I try so hard sometimes
Questioning the effort invested, unsure of reasons
Could you tell me why?
Seeking an explanation
Even though the chapter's closed
Despite closure, revisiting past experiences
I open up the book once more
Reopening memories, causing emotional pain
It's torture
Describing the emotional struggle as torture
Could you tell me why?
Requesting insight into the reasons for emotional distress
Why I always see
Reflecting on a tendency to focus on negativity
The bad before the good
Noticing flaws or problems before acknowledging positives
Why I only picture
Imagining and dwelling on things that cause pain
All the little things that hurt
Obsessing over hurtful details
Even as I think of all the good times I have had
Acknowledging positive memories, but they feel distant
They're two dimensional
Describing positive memories as lacking depth
Could you tell me why?
Seeking understanding about this emotional perspective
Even as I think ahead
Struggling with envisioning a positive future
My head won't do it right
Difficulty in optimistic thinking
The lights don't come on
Feeling a lack of clarity or direction
Could you tell me why?
Requesting an explanation for mental obstacles
Why I always hear
Noticing negative aspects in situations first
The bad before the good
Emphasizing a tendency to focus on the downside
Why I only hear
Hearing only what confirms preconceptions
The things I think I should
Filtering information to fit expected narratives
It's just a point of view
Highlighting the subjectivity of perspective
A different color
Metaphorical reference to different perspectives
A different hue
Emphasizing diversity in viewpoints
If it's directed at you
Clarifying that criticism may not reflect reality
Doesn't mean it's real
Challenging the authenticity of directed criticism
Doesn't mean it's true
Questioning the truth behind directed negativity
Even as I try to write it all down on a page
Struggling to articulate feelings on paper
I fill the margins
Filling written space with thoughts and emotions
Could you tell me why?
Requesting insight into the act of writing as a coping mechanism
Even as I start to heal
Beginning to recover but facing setbacks
I peel off the scab
Metaphorically addressing the process of healing
It's a cycle
Describing healing as a repetitive and painful process
Could you tell me why?
Seeking understanding of the challenges in the healing process
Why I always feel
Noticing negativity before positive aspects
The bad before the good
Repeating the tendency to focus on the downside
Why I only think of
Thinking about expectations and perceived obligations
All the things I think I should
Obsessing over fulfilling perceived duties
It's just a point of view
Emphasizing the subjectivity of perception
A different color
Metaphorically referencing diversity in perspectives
A different hue
Highlighting differences in perception
If it's directed at you
Clarifying that criticism may lack authenticity
Doesn't make it real
Questioning the truthfulness of directed criticism
Doesn't make it true
Challenging the authenticity and truth of criticism
