Lyrics

Lost in fantasy

Feeling immersed in an unreal world of imagination.

Feel like a guest in this body

Sensing a disconnect with one's own physical self.

How can I prove myself worthy

Questioning how to demonstrate worthiness to oneself or others.

Fading more each day

Gradually losing significance or presence.

Like a record overplayed

Experiencing a sense of repetition and weariness.

I feel my welcome overstay

Feeling unwelcome and overstaying one's presence.

Caught on, Caught on your own tether

Entangled in one's own limitations or constraints.

And I know, you know better

Awareness that there is a better understanding.

(Come on, come on)

Encouragement or invitation to take action.

So come on and get your shit together, yeah

Calling for personal improvement and self-recovery.

Which path led me astray

Reflecting on a choice or decision that led astray.

Immobilised by uncertainty

Paralyzed by doubt and indecision.

I must prevail, come what may

Determined to succeed despite uncertainty.

Don't fade out

Expressing a desire not to lose significance.

Don't fade away

Emphasizing the importance of remaining present.

Fight to stay

Committing to resisting fading away.

Caught on, Caught on your own tether

Reiteration of being constrained by personal limitations.

And I know, you know better

Acknowledging awareness of a better understanding.

(Come on, come on)

Encouragement to take action for self-improvement.

So come on and get your shit together

Continuing the call for personal improvement.

Caught on, Caught on your own tether

Repeating the theme of being constrained.

And I know, you know better

Acknowledging a better understanding once again.

(Come on, come on)

Encouraging action for self-recovery.

So come on and get your shit together, yeah

Reiterating the need to get one's life together.

I wrote to you of all my fears

Sharing fears through communication, possibly ignored.

I know they fell upon deaf ears

Acknowledging that expressed fears were not heard.

Naturally prone to overthink

Naturally inclined to overanalyze and overthink.

Is it a choice to swim or sink

Reflecting on the choice between success and failure.

You always compare me to you

Being compared to someone else.

And whilst I admire all you do

Admiring someone while aspiring to be different.

I only aspire to be

Expressing a desire to be unique and distinct.

Everything that you're not

Striving to be everything the other person is not.

Pull yourself together

Encouragement to gather oneself and overcome challenges.

Pull yourself together

Repetition of the call to pull oneself together.

I know, you know better

Knowing that there is a better understanding.

So get your shit together, yeah

Insisting on self-recovery and improvement.

Don't fade away

Reiterating the plea not to lose significance.

I won't let go we'll fight to stay

Determined to fight and resist fading away.

Don't fade away

Expressing a commitment to staying present and relevant.

I won't let go we'll fight to stay

Reaffirming the determination to resist fading.

Stay

A plea to remain present and not lose significance.

Don't fade away

A final plea not to fade away and lose importance.
