Lyrics

I'm losing confidence and I don't want to waste your time

I'm experiencing a loss of confidence and don't want to be a burden on your time.

I'm losing hope so wont you show an interest here

My hope is diminishing, and I'm asking for your interest and support.

I'm losing hours of sleep and every man on the street says the same thing

Lack of sleep is taking a toll, and people around me share similar struggles.

I've lost a grip on time and I can't seem to change this

I've lost control over time, and it's challenging to make positive changes.

And I can't seem to change this

Repetition emphasizes the difficulty in bringing about change.


I don't know where I've been, I must have been up in a plane above the city

I feel disoriented, unsure of my recent experiences, possibly detached from reality.

I don't know what I've seen on the beach, in the sky, in my dreams, or in my mind

Uncertainty about the nature of past experiences, whether real or imagined.

I see, I feel, yeah

Expressing a combination of seeing and feeling without specifying details.


If the power in this world collides will you take what you need

Contemplating the consequences when conflicting forces collide, asking for support.

Take what you need to get by and run

Encouraging to take what is necessary to survive and run when facing challenges.

When the friction in this world subsides will you leave me alone

Hoping for understanding and space when the challenges ease, asserting self-sufficiency.

'cause I can make it

Confidence in overcoming difficulties independently.


I wrote the book on hate, I was too late, too late to see you

Regretting past negativity and acknowledging a delayed realization.

I read a book on change, tried to rearrange my being

Learning from a book about change but struggling to apply it to oneself.

I'm stuck in idle shoes here, I'm stuck here on an island

Feeling stuck and isolated, possibly in a situation without progress.

I wrote a song relate to, tried to dedicate my time

Creating art as an outlet, attempting to connect through a dedicated song.

I'm in a sea of change, I'm in a sea of angels

Being surrounded by a significant and transformative change, possibly positive.


If the power in this world collides will you take what you need

Reiterating the plea for support when facing challenges.

Take what you need to get by and run

Encouraging to take what is needed and run during difficult times.

When the friction in this world subsides will you leave me alone

Asking for space when things become easier, highlighting independence.

'cause I can't make it on my own, on my own

Expressing difficulty in facing challenges alone, acknowledging a need for others.


Now the world is on fire

Metaphorically describing the world in a state of chaos and crisis.

See the flames tonight getting higher

Observing the intensity of the chaotic situation, possibly with a sense of urgency.

And all I need is here, all I need is you

Stating that everything needed is present, possibly referring to emotional support.
