Navigating Life's Crossroads: The Dead Century's 'Realign' Journey
Lyrics
Maybe this is only just a moment of doubt
Expressing uncertainty, questioning the current state of mind.
But I've been running circles for what feels like forever
Feeling stuck in a repetitive cycle for an extended duration.
And nothing has seemed to work out
No positive outcomes despite efforts.
Maybe it's a false alarm
Considering the possibility of a false alarm or misconception.
But how'd the hell it get this far
Surprised at how the situation has escalated.
When even my best plans are failing and falling apart
Frustration over failed plans and their disintegration.
Maybe getting old just got the better of me
Suggesting that aging might be impacting one's life negatively.
But now I'm only fighting for a couple of bucks
Struggling for minimal rewards and basic needs.
And a full fucking night of sleep
Desire for simple pleasures like rest.
You know what's got me terrified
Fear or concern about enjoying a conventional job.
I kinda like the nine to five
Comfort found in a routine despite its dullness.
I kinda like predictable numbness and fluorescent light
Acceptance of mundane surroundings.
Am I really gonna spend the rest of my life
Questioning the path and its longevity.
Running down a realigned dream
Continuously pursuing a revised or redirected ambition.
Bleeding out a moment into dull compromise
Sacrificing passion for settling in a less fulfilling situation.
God, whatever happened to me
Reflecting on a personal decline and change.
A little unsteady and a little uptight
Feeling emotionally unstable and tense.
But don't you dare tell me I act like I don't care
Defensive about caring despite internal conflict.
'Cause I'm afraid maybe you're right
Admitting a fear of someone else's perception.
I never thought it'd go this way
Surprised by the unexpected turn of events.
Caught in a waiting room with no escape
Stuck in a situation with no apparent solution.
Just caught in this blind holding pattern, suspended in space
Feeling trapped and directionless.
Am I really gonna spend the rest of my life
Reiterating concerns about life's direction.
Running down a realigned dream
Continuing to chase a modified aspiration.
Living out a moment into dull compromise
Living in a compromised state, foregoing fulfillment.
God, whatever happened to me
Reflecting on personal transformation.
Every day I'm feeling like I'm less of myself
Sense of losing one's identity gradually.
I'm pulling apart at the seams
Feeling emotionally and mentally fragmented.
Swear I used to answer to nobody else
Claiming independence that seems to be fading.
God, whatever happened to me
Reflecting on personal changes and uncertainties.
Am I really gonna spend the rest of my life
Repeating concerns about life's direction.
Running down a realigned dream
Continuing pursuit despite excuses and lies.
Turning bad excuses into self-serving lies
Justifying wrong choices for self-interest.
God, whatever happened to me
Reflecting on personal transformation and change.
Every day I'm feeling like I'm less of myself
Continued sense of losing oneself.
I'm pulling apart at the seams
Feeling mentally and emotionally torn.
Swear I used to answer to nobody else
Claiming previous independence that is now fading.
God, whatever happened to me
Reiterating a sense of personal transformation.
