Lyrics

Standing in the light all eyes on me

Being in the spotlight, attracting attention.

Try to shake the nerves but they're shaking me

Attempting to overcome nervousness, but it's overwhelming.

Connected to a source that's bigger than me

Feeling connected to a greater, external force.

In everything around me it's hard not to see

Noticing the omnipresence of significant things around.

And I know

Recognition of the current state.

I'm not done

Acknowledging there's more to come.

Easy now to

Advising oneself to take it easy.

Not feel fun

Struggling to find joy in the moment.

Looking forward

Anticipating future experiences.

To have some

Expecting something positive in the future.

But for now

Acceptance of the current lack of enjoyment.

I'm okay with none

Fine with having no expectations for now.

It's hard not to think will it happen again

Contemplating the possibility of a repeated event.

And if it does is it really the end

Questioning whether a repeated event signifies the end.

Unstable and fleeting you can try to pretend

Describing a state of instability and impermanence.

But then you're thrown in a whirlwind with them

Despite pretending, being caught up in chaos with others.

And I know

Reiteration of ongoing personal development.

I'm not done

Acknowledging there's more growth to come.

Easy now to

Reminding oneself to take it easy despite challenges.

Not feel fun

Struggling to find joy in the present situation.

Looking forward

Anticipating positive experiences in the future.

To have some

Expecting something enjoyable to come.

But for now

Accepting the current absence of enjoyable experiences.

I'm okay with none

Fine with having no expectations for now (repeated).
