Stranded
Lost in the Shadows: Unraveling the Stranded Soul
Lyrics
I think I'm sick
Expressing a feeling of illness or distress
I've been lost inside my head
Feeling mentally lost and preoccupied within one's thoughts
Trying to fabricate a lie
Attempting to create a false narrative to avoid facing challenges
That might get me out of bed
Using deception as a means to motivate oneself to get out of bed
Shifting side to side
Experiencing internal conflict or restlessness
Overthinking in my mind
Overthinking and dwelling on thoughts
About this lie I call my life
Reflecting on life as a constructed lie
And for the world to tell me that I'm fine
Desiring external validation that life is fine
That I'll just wake up one day and see the brighter side
Hoping for a future realization of a brighter perspective
It makes things worse
External reassurance paradoxically worsening the situation
But I hope that they're right
Maintaining hope despite contradictory feelings
I hope that one day maybe I will find this light
Longing for a personal discovery of light or positivity
For so long I've been meaning to ask
Expressing a desire to understand the cause of current circumstances
How all of this could happen
Questioning how events unfolded and led to the present situation
How could I outrun my past
Feeling unable to escape the consequences of one's past
It's overwhelming to think that death will always happen
Reflecting on the inevitability of death
And to think that one day it will happen to me
Contemplating personal mortality
Open my head
Metaphorically suggesting a willingness to open up mentally
Reveal these thoughts that leave me stranded
Desiring to reveal inner thoughts that cause feelings of being stranded
Find your way in
Inviting external influence or support
I feel these thoughts are slowly winning
Feeling overwhelmed as negative thoughts gain control
I know I'm miserable, but loss is all I know
Acknowledging personal misery with an emphasis on loss
For god so loved the world
Referencing a biblical quote about God's love for the world
But he refuses to show
Perceiving a lack of divine intervention or guidance
What's wrong with me
Pondering personal flaws and struggles
All I know is in my dreams
Understanding oneself primarily through dreams
But I can't seem to sleep
Struggling with insomnia or inability to find rest
All these thoughts are killing me
Internal thoughts causing emotional distress
Wanderer
Describing oneself as a wanderer with no clear direction
Lost cause for the Shepherd
Acknowledging being a lost cause for a guiding figure (Shepherd)
Lost in the trees
Metaphorically lost in a complex and challenging situation
You'll never find where you left me
Expressing difficulty in finding one's former self
Dark and cold
Describing a state of emotional and physical isolation
I'm so alone crawling with loneliness
Conveying a deep sense of loneliness and despair
I want to come back home
Expressing a desire to return to a place of comfort or belonging
Open my head
Reiteration of a willingness to open up mentally
Reveal these thoughts that leave me stranded
Reiterating the desire to reveal thoughts causing feelings of being stranded
Find your way in
Repeating the invitation for external influence or support
I feel these thoughts are slowly winning
Reiterating the feeling of negative thoughts gradually gaining control
