Survivor's Guilt
Survivor's Journey: Overcoming the Depths of Regret
Lyrics
In this tidal wave I cannot breathe
In the overwhelming challenges, I feel suffocated and unable to cope.
The sinking sun and rising sea
The unavoidable decline, symbolized by the setting sun and rising sea.
Is all that will be left when the morning comes
Only the aftermath of destruction will remain when a new day arrives.
The perfect storm to seal our fate
A catastrophic event that seals a predetermined destiny.
With every gasping breath I take
Each breath is a struggle, and the speaker reflects on promises not kept.
I swore I wouldn’t let you go this way
A commitment to holding on, despite previous intentions to let go.
I chased and fought with no prevail
Actively pursued and fought, but without success.
You took the wind out of my sails
Feeling defeated and demoralized, losing motivation and direction.
Then came the thunder as we’re swept under
The arrival of a tumultuous event, represented by thunder, leading to a downfall.
The waves that separate
Being engulfed by separating forces, symbolized by waves.
It’s hard to let the past be history
The difficulty of leaving the past behind and moving forward.
It’s hard to close the chapter on
A challenge to conclude a chapter in life and move on.
All these memories
Nostalgia and difficulty in letting go of cherished memories.
If there’s a remedy I can’t find it
Despite searching, a solution to the problems cannot be found.
If there’s serenity I don’t buy it
Questioning the existence of tranquility and doubting its authenticity.
It’s hard to let the past be history
The ongoing struggle to distance oneself from past experiences.
I’m at the end of my rope
Feeling emotionally drained and nearing a breaking point.
On the edge of my seat
Being on the brink of anticipation and anxiety.
Frozen in my tracks
Paralyzed and unable to make progress.
Burning to believe
Desiring to maintain hope amidst internal struggles.
That my world’s not just a shell of what it used to be
A lamentation that the world is a mere shadow of its former self.
So, I’ll carry on I won’t fade away
Determined to persevere and not succumb to despair.
I blame myself for what I couldn’t change
Taking responsibility and guilt for things beyond control.
This isn’t the life that you would have wanted for me
Acknowledging a life that doesn't align with the wishes of a significant other.
I found myself in the darkest depths
Finding oneself in the lowest points of despair.
I learned to fight when I had nothing left
Discovering resilience when faced with utter depletion.
I came back stronger
Emerging stronger after enduring hardships.
I’ll never forget those days I wished would just end
Recalling moments when life seemed unbearable.
