Quicksand
Navigating Life's Quicksand: A Silver Bullet's Struggle
Lyrics
I'm stuck out on this road going nowhere
I feel stuck on a purposeless road.
The rearview mirrors all that I can see
All I can see is my past (rearview mirrors).
What if I could just go back in time there
Wishing to go back in time and make different choices.
Instead of livin' life, stuck in misery
Regret for living a life filled with misery.
I know nothin's gonna change this path I'm on or feelin'
Feeling hopeless about changing my current path or emotions.
I'm scared of the way I feel you look at me
Fearful of the way someone looks at me.
Cause I've promised you everything and then some
I made promises but failed miserably.
How could I have failed so miserably
Reflecting on the failure to fulfill commitments.
Cause it's like I'm in an hourglass of Quicksand
Metaphorically trapped in an hourglass of quicksand, sinking fast.
I'm sinkin' faster, I can hardly breathe
Sinking faster and struggling to breathe.
And the more I try, the more I'm sinkin' faster
Efforts to escape only worsen the situation.
What if Quicksand is all, all He's planned for me
Speculating if quicksand represents the entirety of one's destiny.
Sitting in this bar here sure gets lonely
Loneliness in a bar with memories of a better past self.
With past reflections of the man I used to be
Drowning sorrows in excuses, contemplating if anyone would miss me.
I'm drowning in this bottle of excuses
Symbolic drowning in a bottle of excuses.
But if I were gone, would anyone miss me
Questioning one's significance and impact on others.
Cause it's like I'm in an hourglass of Quicksand
Reiteration of being trapped in an hourglass of quicksand.
I'm sinkin' faster, I can hardly breathe
Intensifying feelings of sinking and breathlessness.
And the more I try, the more I'm sinkin' faster
Struggling more as attempts to change the situation prove futile.
What if Quicksand is all, all He's planned for me
Raising doubts about whether quicksand represents a predetermined fate.
Cause I'm sinkin' on this road I'm on
Sinking on the ongoing road with no possibility of turning back.
I can't go back I'm too far gone
Acknowledging the impossibility of reversing the journey.
Lord help me find the strength to stay
Seeking divine assistance to find the strength to persevere.
Cause it's like I'm in an hourglass of Quicksand
Repetition of the metaphorical hourglass of quicksand.
I'm sinkin' faster, I can hardly breathe
Intensifying feelings of sinking and breathlessness (repeated).
And the more I try, the more I'm sinkin' faster
Struggling more as attempts to change the situation prove futile (repeated).
What if Quicksand is all, all He's planned for me
Raising doubts about whether quicksand represents a predetermined fate (repeated).
What if Quicksand is all, all He's planned for me
Reiterating the speculation about quicksand being the planned destiny.
