Lyrics
Couldn't find my own way back
Struggling to find my way back from a difficult situation.
I just kept going in whatever wrong direction I could find
Continuing in a direction, even if it's wrong, without a clear path.
Be it on my own or asking
Whether alone or seeking help, questioning the existence of clear life paths.
Are there such things as paths in life
Wondering if predetermined life paths exist.
I Never got the past I wanted, I can't blame that on today
Reflecting on not achieving desired outcomes in the past, without blaming the present.
And no one's asking what you think or how you feel
Not being questioned about personal thoughts or emotions regarding one's own life.
About the life you're born to live out on your own
Acknowledging the independent nature of the life one is born into.
Now I'm staring down a barrel
Facing a critical moment or decision.
Of one last chance
Presented with a final opportunity to discover that the answers were always available through generosity.
To see the answers always been where giving more
Understanding that giving more leads to taking less.
Means taking less
Realizing the significance of the balance between giving and taking.
I never got the past I wanted, 'cause I never really tried
Never achieving desired outcomes in the past due to a lack of effort.
What that means is so much simpler than it seems
Explaining the simplicity of the meaning behind not trying hard enough.
That everything was just prelude to now
Viewing everything in the past as a prelude to the present moment.
No one can take my intent from me, still I'm convinced
Asserting that personal intent cannot be taken away, despite being convinced otherwise.
By all the slippery ways our dreams will simply complicate
Recognizing the complicating nature of dreams and the challenges they present.
It's just the way they said it'd end
Accepting that life may unfold as predicted by others.
But failures won't define me
Choosing not to be defined by past failures.
I'm gonna learn to live
Committing to learning to live despite challenges.
Then tighten my grip, on what's inside, I'm gonna find out if it kills me
Determined to hold onto inner strength and find out the truth even if it's risky.
If there's any chance at all, it'll be the last you'll hear of me I'll be
Expressing the possibility of not being heard again after giving one's all.
Headin on, getting lost, closer, hold still so
Continuing forward, getting lost, and urging to hold still in the midst of uncertainty.
Moments stop slipping away
Desiring to pause moments and prevent them from slipping away.
These moments won't slip away, won't slip away
A declaration that certain moments won't be lost or forgotten.
These moments won't slip away
Reiterating that specific moments are not slipping away.
These moments can't, won't, slip, away
Emphasizing the permanence of certain moments that can't slip away.
