Chances
Redemption's Refrain: Battling Mistakes Through Melody
Lyrics
I'm gonna tell you something kinda real, so listen
I am about to share something genuine, so please pay attention.
i'm sick and tired of trying to sing how i'm feeling
I'm tired of expressing my emotions through singing.
and I miss feeling like I am alive when i'm singing
I miss the sense of being alive while singing.
the last few times that I sang I was drinking
Recent singing experiences involved drinking.
and honestly I couldn't tell the floor from the ceiling
Intoxication blurred my perception of reality.
a nightmare that I had was realized, I was doing what I loved but I didn't feel alive
A nightmare: doing what I love, but not feeling alive.
I just want to be a good man,
Desire to be a good man.
but I fucked up all my chances
Past mistakes have jeopardized opportunities.
now i'm running out of options
Running out of choices due to past errors.
I want to be alive
Expressing a desire for a meaningful life.
I fell for a girl that lived far, far away
Fell for a distant girl.
and all i ever wanted was to try and make her stay
Wanted to make her stay, but it didn't happen.
but leaving was her end goal and it brought us to an end
Her goal was to leave, leading to the end of the relationship.
after hospitals and mental home we weren't even friends
After struggles, the relationship turned into mere acquaintanceship.
now i'm looking at my heart like a stranger, and it is
Viewing his heart as a stranger after the breakup.
it's taken this long to admit my flaws, i'm making damn sure I put them in a song
Admitting personal flaws and turning them into a song.
I just want to be a good man,
Expressing the desire to be a good man once again.
but I fucked up all my chances
Reflecting on missed opportunities and mistakes.
now i'm running out of options
Feeling limited in choices due to past actions.
I want to be alive
Reiterating the longing for a meaningful life.
If all you do is lose, you've got nothing left to lose
If constant loss is all that remains, there's nothing to lose.
I haven't come this far to quit, and I don't intend to
Determination not to quit despite challenges faced.
at the start of every day there is a path to choose
Every day starts with choices, and there's a path to choose.
so i'll struggle down the road that brings me home to you
Struggling on the journey that leads back home.
