This Won't Ever Last
Transforming Struggles into Triumph: This Won't Ever Last by Sleep Outside
Lyrics
Three years ago, thinking of the least selfish way to disappear
Contemplating a selfless way to disappear three years ago.
Didn’t want to die, I just hated wasted time on things I didn’t like
Expressing a dislike for wasting time on things not enjoyed, without a desire for death.
Nothing in common with people with no drive or zest for life
Feeling disconnected from individuals lacking ambition or enthusiasm for life.
It’s nothing personal, I just needed something more
Emphasizing the need for something more in life, not a personal rejection.
I don’t mind if it takes some time, cos three years down and life’s alright
Expressing patience for improvement, as life has become satisfactory after three years.
I don’t mind if it takes some time, cos three years down and life’s alright
-Losing days and gaining weight,
Describing a period of losing time and gaining weight.
(I’d lost all confidence in everything I’d try and do)
Internal struggle, losing confidence in various attempts and endeavors.
Struggling to pull myself from bed.
Difficulty getting out of bed, possibly due to a lack of motivation.
(I’d waste my days away in bed wishing for something new)
Wasting days in bed, longing for change and something new.
But it’s turned around now,
Positive transformation, being back on top and content with life.
Back on top and where I’d like to be
-And I’m happy
-I don’t mind if it takes some time, cos three years down and life’s alright
Reiterating patience for progress, acknowledging that life is currently satisfactory after three years.
I don’t mind if it takes some time, cos three years down and life’s alright
-But this won’t ever last
Acknowledging the impermanence of the positive state, implying that the current contentment won't last forever.
