The Calm, the Storm
Emotional Redemption: Unveiling the Depths in September Stories' 'The Calm, the Storm'
Lyrics
Traded cheap words for thoughts
Choosing meaningful thoughts over superficial words.
And others with nothing to show
Some have nothing substantial to show for their words or actions.
Maybe it’s not up to the seasons to control my emotional instability
Questioning whether seasons dictate emotional stability.
Always blaming anyone and anything to dim the light on my own self created disability
Blaming external factors to avoid acknowledging personal flaws.
That I’ve fabricated over the years to escape any responsibility of controlling my own actions
Creating a false narrative to escape responsibility for actions.
Or deluded insensibility
Living in a state of self-deception or lack of sensitivity.
But I’ve grown to love myself and what I stand for
Developing self-love and a strong sense of personal identity.
I’d rather rot down below than make a deal and not know what I’ve really signed for
Preferring personal decay over making uninformed deals.
Why is this so hard to tell
Expressing difficulty in revealing the truth.
Where I end and this feeling dwells
Struggling to differentiate oneself from overwhelming emotions.
Lately there’s been a part of me
Recent internal conflict or struggle.
A part that’s weary
Feeling fatigued or worn out in a particular aspect.
A part that’s free
Experiencing a sense of liberation or freedom within.
I’m not getting older and it’s plain to see
Denying the aging process and its visible effects.
Only so much time left
Realizing a limited time frame for personal growth and improvement.
To repair me
Recognizing the urgency to address personal issues.
When was artistry lost
Reflecting on the loss of true artistry and emotional expression.
And emotion let go
Noticing a decline in genuine emotional expression.
Traded cheap words for thoughts
Repeating the choice of meaningful thoughts over empty words.
And others with nothing to show
Encountering others with nothing substantial to offer.
I’ve let this fall to the wayside
Neglecting personal growth and letting opportunities slip away.
I’ve let others go
Allowing relationships to fade into insignificance.
I’ve tried to let others in
Attempting to open up to others, albeit at a slow pace.
But the process is slow
Recognizing the gradual nature of the process.
Lately there’s been a part of me
Reiterating the recent internal conflict or struggle.
A part that’s weary
Continuing to feel worn out or fatigued.
A part that’s free
Experiencing a continued sense of freedom within.
I’m not getting older and it’s plain to see
Rejecting the idea of aging and its effects.
Only so much time left
Acknowledging the limited time available for personal improvement.
To repair me
Emphasizing the urgency to address personal issues before time runs out.
