On My Own
Navigating Shadows: A Soul's Journey Through Solitude
Lyrics
I know it gets better
I acknowledge that things will improve over time.
But right now I’m low
Currently, I am feeling down or depressed.
I walk through this city
I navigate through this urban environment.
With nowhere to go
Despite being in the city, I feel directionless.
I carry a burden
I bear a heavy emotional weight.
To the bottom of my soul
This burden goes deep into the core of my being.
There’s some kind of darkness
There is a sense of darkness within me.
Deep in my bones
This darkness is rooted in the essence of my being.
Oh here we go, ohhh
Expressing a sense of resignation or readiness for a challenging situation.
I’m on my own
I am facing life's challenges alone.
Oh here we go, ohhh
Reiteration of facing challenges independently.
I’m on my own
Emphasizing the solitude in facing difficulties.
I swam through these rivers
I have overcome significant obstacles to reach my current state.
To get to the sea
Despite reaching my goal, I feel like a stranger within myself.
And now I’m a stranger
Reflecting on a disconnected self in the mirror.
In the mirror facing me
I've changed, and the person I see in the mirror feels unfamiliar.
I hope that you never
Expressing a desire for others not to experience what the narrator has.
See what I see
Hoping others don't witness the internal struggles and pain.
I hope you remember
Reflecting on being liberated from a challenging situation.
That you set me free
Gratitude for someone who played a role in setting the narrator free.
Oh here we go, ohhh
Reiteration of facing life's challenges independently.
I’m on my own
Emphasizing the solitude in facing difficulties.
Oh here we go, ohhh
Reiteration of facing life's challenges independently.
I’m on my own
Emphasizing the solitude in facing difficulties.
Whoa it’s been so long
Expressing the long duration of facing challenges.
That I’m like the man I have become
Describing a transformation into a different person.
And oh, I’ve done my wrongs
Acknowledging past mistakes or misdeeds.
But I’ve served my sentence
The narrator has paid the price for their wrongs.
My jail time is done
Completion of serving a metaphorical jail sentence.
I know it gets better
I am aware that life will eventually improve.
But right now I’m low
Currently feeling emotionally down or depressed.
I carry a burden
Reiteration of carrying a heavy emotional burden.
At the bottom of my soul
The emotional burden resides deep within the narrator's soul.
Oh here we go, ohhh
Reiteration of facing life's challenges independently.
I’m on my own
Emphasizing the solitude in facing difficulties.
