Navigating Life's Turmoil: Sleep City's Reflections on Regret and Resilience
Lyrics
Living with a sense of regret and pain in my chest
Expressing the experience of living with a feeling of regret and pain in the chest.
Losing hope that I'll end this year better than the last
Losing hope for improvement in the current year compared to the previous one.
Faces change, memories fade. Inside I feel the same
Noting changes in external appearances and fading memories while feeling internally unchanged.
Time isn't slowing down, I'm just trying to catch my breath
Acknowledging the relentless passage of time and the struggle to keep up.
I'm just trying to catch my breath
Emphasizing the ongoing struggle to cope or find stability.
Without bringing up the past
Expressing the desire to move forward without dwelling on past issues.
Another chance came and went
Reflecting on missed opportunities that came and went.
Endless thoughts to forget
Dealing with persistent thoughts that are challenging to forget.
What has patience done for me
Raising questions about the value of patience in the speaker's life.
I'll wait around to see
Expressing a willingness to wait and see the outcome despite uncertainties.
Yea this year has been a mess
Characterizing the current year as chaotic and messy.
But no different than the rest
Comparing the chaos of the present year to previous ones.
Resentment from 23
Feeling resentment associated with being 23 years old.
7 years of complacency
Reflecting on seven years of feeling stuck or unchanging.
Live with a chip on my shoulder
Living with a persistent burden or grudge.
Weighs more now that I'm older
Noting that the burden becomes heavier with age.
Break me down over and over
Expressing vulnerability to repeated emotional breakdowns.
Ignore the pain and look for closure
Choosing to ignore pain and actively seeking closure.
It's hard to dream when I can't sleep
Struggling to dream or aspire due to difficulties in sleeping.
Constant stress with anxiety
Experiencing constant stress accompanied by anxiety.
I know I'm not where I wanna be
Acknowledging dissatisfaction with the current life situation.
Carry the blame unselfishly
Taking on blame without selfishness or self-pity.
Thoughts of what should've been
Reflecting on thoughts of what could have been in the past.
I'm going nowhere, I'm at peace with this
Accepting a sense of stagnation and finding peace with it.
Yea this year has been a mess
Reiterating the chaotic nature of the current year with no apparent progress.
Still no progress from the last
Highlighting the lack of improvement from the previous year.
Resentment from 23
Repeating feelings of resentment linked to being 23 years old.
7 years of complacency
Reiterating seven years of feeling stuck or complacent.
Live with a chip on my shoulder
Emphasizing the enduring presence of a burden or grudge.
Weighs more now that I'm older
Stating that the burden becomes more significant with age.
Break me down over and over
Expressing vulnerability to repeated emotional breakdowns.
Ignore the pain and look for closure
Choosing to ignore pain and actively seeking closure.
