The Good The Bad
Embracing Memories: Reflecting on Life's Phases in 'The Good The Bad'
Lyrics
I run in the rain
I engage in activities even during difficult times.
It's where I like to do my thinking
I find solace and contemplation in the rain.
When I'm trying to explain
During introspective moments, I struggle to articulate my emotions.
What it is that I'm feeling
I attempt to express the emotions I'm experiencing.
And often times
At times, I drift into a state of unconsciousness.
I fall asleep
During this state, I may fall asleep.
But I'm not asleep
Despite appearing asleep, my mind is alert.
I'm wide awake
I'm fully conscious despite the appearance of sleep.
It's a parlour trick
My mind tricks me with this paradoxical situation.
That my mind plays
This mental trickery disturbs me.
And it makes me sick
The paradox induces a feeling of discomfort.
I don't see the point in holding on
I question the value of holding onto the past.
To what is done
Letting go of completed actions seems reasonable.
The good
Referring to positive experiences.
The bad
Referring to negative experiences.
The times
Referring to specific moments in time.
I had
Recalling instances from the past.
They are gone
Those moments have passed and are irretrievable.
I fall upon the couch
I collapse onto a piece of furniture.
Movies play inside my aching head
I experience vivid mental imagery related to movies.
All at once without a sound
The mental images occur simultaneously and silently.
This cup of tea is what I'm drinking
I consume a cup of tea during this time.
And often times
Similar to earlier, I may enter a state of unconsciousness.
I fall asleep
During this state, I might fall asleep again.
But I'm not asleep
Although appearing asleep, my mind remains aware.
I'm wide awake
I am fully conscious despite the appearance of sleep.
It's a parlour trick
Repetition of the parlour trick causing discomfort.
That my mind plays
Continuation of the disturbing mental trickery.
And it makes me sick
The ongoing paradox induces discomfort.
I don't see the point in holding on
Reiteration of questioning the value of holding onto the past.
To what is done
Reiterating the reasonableness of letting go of completed actions.
The good
Reiteration of positive experiences.
The bad
Reiteration of negative experiences.
The times
Reiteration of specific moments in time.
I had
Reiteration of recalling instances from the past.
They are gone
Confirmation that those moments are now gone and cannot be recovered.
