Lyrics
Flash back to '09, I know so long ago
Reflecting on the year 2009, a distant past.
Thought the world was in the palms of my hands
Believed to have control over the world's opportunities.
What a joke
Realization that such confidence was misplaced.
I can't forgive myself for the things I did and said back then
Regret for actions and words from that time.
It never ends
The impact of past mistakes continues indefinitely.
No house on the hill, no picket fence
Absence of a luxurious life symbolized by a house on the hill and a picket fence.
It takes what it takes 'til the ceiling breaks
Enduring challenges until reaching a breaking point.
No one leaves till we figure this out
A commitment to resolve issues before anyone leaves.
Halfway in or halfway out now
A state of indecision, neither fully committed nor detached.
I keep trying, keep my head above ground
Persistent effort to stay emotionally afloat.
Abusing trust like it's a pastime
Misusing trust as if it were a recreational activity.
Won't you take back the thought that you could live anyway?
Request to reconsider the idea that life can be lived in any way.
Don't let some fuck tell you how to think or how you're supposed to live your life
Rejecting external influence on one's thoughts and lifestyle.
It's up to you
Empowerment to shape one's own destiny.
No house on the hill, no picket fence
Reiteration of the absence of an idealized life.
It takes what it takes till the ceiling breaks
Persistence through challenges until a breaking point.
No one leaves till we figure this out
A collective commitment to solving problems before leaving.
Halfway in or halfway out now
Remaining in a state of indecision, neither fully engaged nor detached.
I keep trying, keep my head above ground
Continued effort to stay emotionally resilient.
Abusing trust like it's a pastime
Continued misuse of trust as a habitual practice.
The good news is it's all on you
The responsibility for the situation rests entirely on the individual.
The bad news is it's all on you
The downside is that the burden of responsibility is solely on the individual.
The good news is it's all on you
The positive aspect is that one has control over the situation.
The bad news is it's all on you
The negative aspect is the overwhelming burden of control.
It's all on you
Emphasis on the individual's accountability.
You prayed for this
A reminder that the current situation was once desired or prayed for.
It's all on you
Reiteration of the individual's accountability.
You prayed for
The acknowledgment that the current situation was once desired or prayed for.
