Everafter
Chasing Happiness: Navigating Life's Turmoil Through Settle Your Scores' 'Everafter'
Lyrics
Looking back on the way I spent every second passed
Reflecting on the past, considering every moment that has passed
As they came and went
Acknowledging the continuous flow of time
I feel like a stranger in my own skin
Feeling unfamiliar and disconnected from oneself
Just a passenger to my own extinction
Sensing a lack of control, like a bystander to one's own demise
A bright future or a colorful past
Contemplating between a promising future and a vivid but fading past
Every shade fades gray with a dying gasp
Recognizing that all experiences eventually lose vibrancy
And all in all it's all the same view from the grave
Expressing a common perspective from the standpoint of mortality
Am I a prisoner of my indecision or just another casualty of reality?
Questioning if personal uncertainty is a form of imprisonment or a consequence of reality
Should I give it my best or should I just give it a rest?
Contemplating whether to persist or take a break in the face of challenges
I've made mistakes along the way, with every breath I take
Acknowledging past mistakes and their impact on self-perception
But lately they've been making me feel like the worst mistake
Feeling overwhelmed by recent mistakes, questioning self-worth
And I know I sound like a broken record
Acknowledging repetition in expressing feelings of despair
But my mind isn't getting any better
Admitting that mental well-being is not improving
I'll fake a smile while I'll say
Putting on a facade of happiness while internally struggling
Everything's a-okay
Presenting a positive front despite internal turmoil
Some days, I feel like I can finally breathe
Experiencing moments of relief and ease
Other days, life just gets the best of me
Confronting challenging days when life feels overwhelming
Now my heart is on my sleeve and my cards are on the table
Being open and vulnerable about emotions and uncertainties
And I'm starting to believe the place inside my head is far from stable
Doubting the stability of one's mental state
I'll fake a smile while I'll say
Maintaining a facade of happiness despite inner struggles
Everything's a-okay, I'm great today
Continuing to project a positive image despite internal challenges
But behind this charade
Admitting that behind the cheerful act, there is internal turmoil
My thoughts, they wander
Expressing the wandering nature of troubled thoughts
And I'm left here to wonder...
Left contemplating unanswered questions
Will I ever be happy?
Pondering the possibility of achieving genuine happiness
Will it ever be enough for me to finally be happy?
Questioning whether external achievements will bring lasting happiness
Will it ever be enough?
Expressing doubt about the sufficiency of external success
Will I ever be enough?
Questioning personal worth and adequacy
Maybe happiness is just some sort of temporary rush
Suggesting that happiness may be transient amidst ongoing pain
Between a steady stream of pain we can't escape
Describing a continuous struggle with unavoidable suffering
Happiness is fleeting but still we search for meaning
Acknowledging the fleeting nature of happiness while searching for meaning
We wanna think we matter but we'll never get an answer
Expressing the human desire for significance despite the absence of clear answers
