Bleak
Navigating Life's Gray: Teddy Clarke's Reflection on Stagnation and Procrastination
Lyrics
Somehow I'm still here standing
Despite the challenges, I'm still standing and enduring.
Just like how I was last year
I remain unchanged from the previous year.
When I was telling you that this year I'd change
I promised to make changes this year, but I haven't.
I'm still stuck in a job I don't want
I'm still in a job that I dislike.
Can't go further than I've already gone
My progress seems limited; I can't move forward.
But suppose its better than cleaning tables I guess
Although it's not ideal, it might be better than a previous job I had.
Tell me how I've come around again
I'm surprised to find myself in a similar situation again.
Thought by now I'd be where I wanted to get
I expected to achieve my desired goals by now.
All I see is grey
Everything appears monotonous and uninspiring.
Dull and bleak but hey
Life seems dull, but perhaps there's hope for improvement.
Maybe next year I'll do what I said
I hope to fulfill my promises next year.
I just procrastinate
I tend to delay important tasks.
Tell myself today
I convince myself that I can postpone tasks until later.
Can be pushed back until tomorrow
I'm inclined to procrastinate and delay responsibilities.
I feel bleak help me
I feel deeply unhappy and in need of assistance.
I feel bleak help me
Reiteration of feeling bleak and seeking help.
Lately my perceptions been worse
My perception of things has recently worsened.
And I hate this my egos been burned
I strongly dislike the current state of my ego.
But maybe I needed to take the hit
Perhaps experiencing hardship was necessary for personal growth.
So what now I can't just keep saying
I can't keep merely talking about change without taking action.
How I'm gonna change things
Expressing frustration at lack of action despite verbal intentions.
If the actions not there what did i really expect
Questioning the expectations when actions don't align.
Tell me why I'm exactly where I left
Feeling stuck in the same place as before.
Thought by now I'd be where I wanted to get
Anticipated being in a better position at this point.
All I see is grey
Continued perception of a colorless and uninspiring reality.
Dull and bleak but hey
Life still feels lackluster, but with a hint of optimism.
Maybe next year I'll do what I said
Hoping to fulfill promises in the coming year.
I just procrastinate
Tendency to delay important tasks is acknowledged again.
Tell myself today
Continuously convincing oneself that tasks can be delayed.
Can be pushed back until tomorrow
Repeated pattern of procrastination and delaying tasks.
I feel bleak help me
Reiterating the feeling of bleakness and the plea for help.
I feel bleak help me
Repetition of feeling bleak and seeking assistance.
I just stay in bed
Staying in bed, avoiding facing the day.
Can't get out of my head
Feeling trapped in one's thoughts, unable to escape.
Tomorrow I'll be fine
Expressing hope for improvement tomorrow, despite repeated failures.
Said that so many times
Repeatedly expressing optimism for tomorrow despite past failures.
Please I feel bleak
An earnest plea for assistance due to feeling bleak.
Please I feel bleak
Reiteration of the plea for help due to feeling bleak.
