Sober
Navigating Desolation: Unraveling the Depths of 'Sober' by Shallow Truths
Lyrics
I guess
I realize
I wasn’t everything
I fell short of being everything
You needed me to be
You expected me to be
I guess
I recognize
You needed your hatred
You needed your resentment
So that you could be at peace
To find tranquility within yourself
I never thought it’d be so hard
I never anticipated the difficulty
I never thought I’d ruin everything
I never thought I would destroy everything
I guess I couldn’t reach your bar
I suppose I couldn't meet your standards
I guess I’ll just keep sinking
I assume I'll continue to deteriorate
Down beneath
Sinking deeper
Is there no good ending
Is there no positive resolution?
Is this the way I’m supposed to be
Is this the person I'm meant to be?
Guess I’ll stop pretending
Perhaps I should stop pretending
And take a look
And assess the destruction below
At the wreckage below
When I confront reality without intoxication
When I find myself sober
It feels like being underneath
It’s like I’m under
The immense pressure of the world
The weight of the world
With your control on me
With your foot on my shoulders
As if it will never conclude
Like it’ll never be over
My fear has shattered everything
My fear has broken everything
I needed you to be
I needed you to be
My will can only bring about
My will can only create
Things filled with grief and illness
Things of sorrow and disease
You asserted I would never attain freedom
You said that I would never be free
You informed me I'd never
You told me that I’d never
See the light of day
See the light of day
You said I would never overcome this descent
You said I’d never break this fall
I presume I'll continue to sink
I guess I’ll just keep sinking
Further below
Down below
Is there no positive resolution?
Is there no good ending
Is this the person I'm meant to be?
Is this the way I’m supposed to be
Perhaps I should stop pretending
Guess I’ll stop pretending
And assess the destruction below
And take a look
When I confront reality without intoxication
At the wreckage below
It feels like being underneath
When I find myself sober
When I confront reality without intoxication
It’s like I’m under
It feels like being underneath
The weight of the world
The immense pressure of the world
With your foot on my shoulders
With your control on me
Like it’ll never be over
As if it will never conclude
Seek a way to feel normal
Attempting to find a sense of normalcy
We get a little bit closer
We inch a bit closer
When I find myself sober
When I confront reality without intoxication
It’s like I’m under
It feels like being underneath
The weight of the world
The immense pressure of the world
With your foot on my shoulders
With your control on me
Like it’ll never be over
As if it will never conclude
When I find myself sober
When I confront reality without intoxication
It’s like I’m under
It feels like being underneath
The weight of the world
The immense pressure of the world
With your foot on my shoulders
With your control on me
Like it’ll never be over
As if it will never conclude
