Embracing Shadows: Finding Strength in Life's Maze
Lyrics
Forget about yesterday, it's moved on from you
Encouraging to forget past events, emphasizing their irrelevance.
Live without the doubt that just won't go away
Advocating for a life free from persistent doubts.
We've all stood at the edge, contemplated jumping
Acknowledging moments of contemplating drastic actions.
A leap of fear, loss of faith, we can't go
Describing the consequences of succumbing to fear and losing faith.
You see a face you think you know
Highlighting a discrepancy between the presented and true self.
But it's not the one I show
Expressing a hidden, authentic self not easily recognizable.
I feel more, more at home
Feeling comfortable in unfamiliar places.
In the places I don't know
Expressing a sense of belonging in unknown territories.
I don't belong to my mistakes, tired of sleeping wide awake
Rejecting identification with past mistakes and sleepless regret.
It's killing me slowly, it's crowded and lonely
Describing a slow, painful internal struggle amidst a crowd.
Even when I crawl I drag my feet, when did the world take hold of me?
Questioning the influence of the world on personal choices.
It's killing me slowly, it's crowded and lonely, I can't feel at all
Expressing a numbing effect, an inability to feel emotions.
I find myself back here again
Returning to a familiar situation.
But I'm not empty-handed
Asserting resilience and not arriving empty-handed.
I'm not leaving, I'm not done, I'm not the kind that would run
Declaring determination and commitment to facing challenges.
Being lost is a lovely place to find yourself again
Positively viewing being lost as an opportunity for rediscovery.
You see a face you think you know
Reiterating the contrast between perceived and true identity.
But it's not the one I show
Highlighting a concealed, authentic self.
I feel more, more at home
Feeling a sense of belonging in unfamiliar places.
In the places I don't know
Expressing comfort in the unknown.
I don't belong to my mistakes, tired of sleeping wide awake
Rejecting association with past mistakes and sleepless regret (repeated).
It's killing me slowly, it's crowded and lonely
Describing a slow, painful internal struggle amidst a crowd (repeated).
Even when I crawl I drag my feet, when did the world take hold of me?
Questioning the influence of the world on personal choices (repeated).
It's killing me slowly, it's crowded and lonely, I can't feel at all
Expressing a numbing effect, an inability to feel emotions (repeated).
I owe another shot to the world
Acknowledging owing another opportunity to the world.
It took a shot at me and missed
Reflecting on overcoming a challenge or threat from the world.
I owe another chance to myself
Acknowledging owing oneself another chance for personal growth.
Take me back to the beginning
Desiring a return to the origin or a fresh start.
We all come from something
Emphasizing shared origins and commonality among individuals.
I don't belong to my mistakes, tired of sleeping wide awake
Rejecting association with past mistakes and sleepless regret (repeated).
It's killing me slowly, it's crowded and lonely
Describing a slow, painful internal struggle amidst a crowd (repeated).
Even when I crawl I drag my feet, when did the world take hold of me?
Questioning the influence of the world on personal choices (repeated).
It's killing me slowly, it's crowded and lonely, I can't feel at all
Expressing a numbing effect, an inability to feel emotions (repeated).
