The Water's Edge
Reflections at the Waters Edge: Unveiling the Struggle Within
Lyrics
Give me a drink cause I'm starting to think that I'm broken
Desire for relief or solace due to feeling emotionally damaged or flawed
Got no confession but still my reflection provokes it
Internal thoughts stir guilt or unease despite not confessing anything
I hold the gavel and judgements unravel for who I've been
Feeling responsible and experiencing the unraveling consequences of past actions
Feeling the weight of the all
Sense of overwhelming burden or responsibility
Medicating the turbulence
Using substances or activities to calm inner turmoil
The mask in the mirror is not getting clearer to comprehend
Struggle to understand one's own identity or situation, reflected in the obscured mirror
Where do I begin
Questioning where to initiate change or self-reflection
When will I see it again
Seeking a return to a meaningful experience or realization
At the waters edge
A metaphorical place of self-reflection or personal reckoning
With no answers left
Feeling devoid of solutions or explanations
What will I see
Uncertainty about what will be discovered or understood
Is it me or just a stranger again
Questioning whether the reflection is truly oneself or a disconnected stranger
I'm at the waters edge
Returning to a place of introspection and evaluation
In my anxiousness
Feeling anxious or apprehensive in this self-reflective state
What's does it mean
Seeking meaning or significance in being noticed or acknowledged
To be seen
Being observed without the need to justify or defend oneself
Without the need to defend
Desiring acceptance without having to explain or protect oneself
Left to myself in both sickness and health
Struggling alone, regardless of circumstances
I can't do it
Feeling incapable or inadequate in managing personal challenges
Skin deep interactions
Shallow or superficial connections with others
Distraction's the way to get through it
Using distractions to cope with difficulties
Everyone tells me that I should be happy for where I've been
External pressure to be content with one's journey so far
But selling and sharing the shell that I'm wearing is wearing thin
Struggling to maintain a façade or persona, feeling exposed
Hoping to find and in time recognize my own reflection
Hoping for self-discovery and acceptance over time
Where do I begin
Repeating the question of where to start making changes or self-examination
Never let anyone know that
Keeping personal vulnerabilities hidden
Underneath the surface
Underlying emotions and fragility not readily visible
What a vulnerable, nervous
Realization of personal fragility and vulnerability
Child I am but
Recognizing a vulnerable, sensitive side despite adulthood
If I can trust the process
Willingness to trust the personal growth or change process
If I can find what I lost this
Hope to rediscover lost qualities or purity
Innocence I once had
Yearning to reclaim lost innocence or naivety
I'll see it again
Expectation of revisiting a moment of self-discovery
At the waters edge
Returning to a metaphorical place for introspection without clear solutions
With no answers left
Feeling devoid of explanations or resolutions
What does it mean
Seeking meaning or significance in self-observation
Is it me
Questioning whether the observed self truly reflects personal identity
Or just a stranger again
Uncertainty if the observed self truly connects with personal identity or feels disconnected
