Lonely Battle
Silent Struggles: Unveiling the Hidden Battle within 'Lonely Battle'
Lyrics
Tell me what do you see when you look at me
Telling someone to describe their perception of the speaker.
I’m pretty sure you can’t tell that I am going through hell
Expressing that the struggles faced internally are not easily noticeable by others.
From the outside you can’t see the battle going on inside of me
Highlighting the hidden internal battle that is not visible externally.
The twisted game that I don’t even understand myself
Describing the complexity of a personal struggle that is confusing.
And I feel so ashamed of the dysfunction in my brain
Feeling ashamed of the mental challenges faced.
So I decide to smile and laugh it all away
Choosing to mask the struggles by smiling and laughing.
I am fighting, I’m fighting a lonely battle
Admitting to engaging in a difficult and isolating internal struggle.
I am hiding, I’m hiding all of my pain
Concealing emotional pain from others.
I am fighting, I’m fighting a lonely battle
Reiterating the ongoing and solitary nature of the internal battle.
I am my own worst enemy
Acknowledging self as a significant obstacle in personal challenges.
The funny thing is that I know
Realizing the availability of external support.
I don’t have to do this on my own
Recognizing the possibility of seeking help rather than facing struggles alone.
But how can I expect anyone to love
Expressing difficulty in expecting love for the disliked aspects of oneself.
The part of me that I hate so much
Struggling with self-loathing and its impact on self-acceptance.
I feel so afraid to disappoint the ones I love
Fearing disappointment of loved ones due to personal challenges.
They might run away from me, cause I also would if I could
Anticipating rejection from others based on personal struggles.
So I am fighting, I’m fighting a lonely battle
Reiterating the ongoing and solitary nature of the internal battle.
I am hiding, I’m hiding all of my pain
Concealing emotional pain from others.
I am fighting, I’m fighting a lonely battle
Emphasizing the persistent and isolating nature of personal struggles.
I am my own worst enemy
Acknowledging self as a significant obstacle in personal challenges.
Carrying myself through the days
Describing the routine of carrying oneself through daily life.
Then when I’m alone I break
Admitting vulnerability and breaking down when alone.
Feeling like a failure
Expressing a sense of failure.
Beating myself up
Physically and emotionally harming oneself.
Am I doomed to live in shame and emptiness
Questioning the possibility of escaping shame and emptiness.
Wishing I was better, but it’s never good enough
Desiring improvement but feeling it's never sufficient.
I am fighting, I’m fighting a lonely battle
Reiterating the ongoing and solitary nature of the internal battle.
I am hiding all of my pain
Concealing emotional pain from others.
I am fighting, I’m fighting a lonely battle
Emphasizing the persistent and isolating nature of personal struggles.
I am my own worst enemy
Acknowledging self as a significant obstacle in personal challenges.
I am fighting, I’m fighting a lonely battle
Reiterating the ongoing and solitary nature of the internal battle.
I am hiding, I’m hiding all of my pain
Concealing emotional pain from others.
I am fighting, I’m fighting a lonely battle
Emphasizing the persistent and isolating nature of personal struggles.
I am my own worst enemy
Acknowledging self as a significant obstacle in personal challenges.
But I am fighting, I’m fighting
Reaffirming the determination to continue the internal battle.
I keep on fighting, I’m fighting
Persisting in the fight against personal struggles.
I am fighting, I’m fighting a lonely battle
Reiterating the ongoing and solitary nature of the internal battle.
I am my own worst enemy
Acknowledging self as a significant obstacle in personal challenges.
