Lyrics
So it's been a bad day
Expressing a challenging day
Everything seems grey
Feeling a sense of bleakness
My upstairs is out of place
Disorder in the personal space
I need to be by myself
Desire for solitude
Rely on no one else
Self-reliance emphasized
Only I can erase the slate
Personal responsibility for a fresh start
All of the walls I've built to protect me seem to fall
Protective barriers crumbling
Down
Emphasis on the downfall
All around and I see things so differently
Changed perspective on surroundings
Down is the taste of the day
Feeling negativity
But things will change
Hope for improvement
I can be strong and keep my head up
Determination to stay strong
Time
Reference to the healing power of time
All I need is some time by myself
Seeking solitude for personal reflection
I need to go where there is no one to come and try to find me
Desire for isolation from others
My feelings must open up and vent
Expression of emotional release
Breathe
Emphasizing the need to breathe and relax
All of the walls I've built to protect me seem to fall
Repeated theme of protective walls breaking down
Down
Reiteration of the surrounding challenges
All around and I see things so differently
Altered perception of the environment
Down is the taste of the day
Continued struggle with negativity
But things will change
Hope for positive change
I can be strong
Reinforcement of inner strength
Beat frustration
Confronting and overcoming frustration
Keep my head up
Maintaining a positive outlook
And accept my feelings now
Acceptance of personal emotions
So there will be better days
Belief in the possibility of better days
Sacred getaways are the means of my escape
Escape as a means of rejuvenation
Then I will collect my thoughts or lose them if I choose
Reflection or intentional release of thoughts
I control this game
Personal control over life circumstances
