Gasp
Drowning in Ego: The Gambit's Gasp of Temptation and Pride
Lyrics
I have a hard time
I struggle with something
Swimming in the puddles on the sidewalk
Attempting to navigate challenges on the path of life
I have evenly wet socks
My socks are consistently wet, symbolizing discomfort or adversity
Time to test my temptation
Time to confront and resist my desires
The only salvation?
Is there any way to be saved?
An empty soul floats easily
An empty soul can easily endure difficulties
I hardly succeeded
I faced a challenge, and it was not easy
But I did so I'm counting it
I succeeded, and I acknowledge it
Pride doesn't let me quit
Pride motivates me not to give up
So I look for a bigger problem
Seeking a more significant problem to tackle
And when you look you'll find them
Challenges become evident when actively sought
Won't be back by 10 PM
Returning later than expected
I can't see the light from there
Unable to see a positive outcome
I stretch my arms and gasp from scare
Reacting with fear to a threatening situation
I want to approach the muffled applause
Desire to approach and accept recognition
But there's nothing that will help me because
Frustration due to the absence of assistance
Now it stings me around my chest
Feeling pain or regret in the chest
And pride weights me down
Pride becomes a burden
Water's brown in this ghost town
The environment is unpleasant and lifeless
Well again my ego made me drown
Ego contributes to personal downfall
Lungs full of oxygen
Filled with confidence
And the lake is in front of me
A significant obstacle lies ahead
I speak in tongues and act like I'm
Speaking and behaving carefree, despite challenges
Like I am carefree
Projecting an image of nonchalance
Crowds are waiting, ego's rising
Public anticipation, ego growing
I jump headlong, lust is flaming
Taking a bold leap, fueled by desire
And I am aiming for the bottom
Aiming for a challenging goal
Well for that I was wrong
Realizing a mistake in judgment
I can't see the light from there
Unable to perceive a positive outcome
I stretch my arms and gasp from scare
Reacting with fear to a threatening situation
I want to approach the muffled applause
Desire to approach and accept recognition
But there's nothing that will help me because
Frustration due to the absence of assistance
Now it stings me around my chest
Feeling pain or regret in the chest
And pride weights me down
Pride becomes a burden
Water's brown in this ghost town
The environment is unpleasant and lifeless
Well again my ego made me drown
Ego contributes to personal downfall
Now it stings me around my chest
Feeling pain or regret in the chest
And pride weights me down
Pride becomes a burden
Water's brown in this ghost town
The environment is unpleasant and lifeless
Well again my ego made me drown
Ego contributes to personal downfall
Drown
Drowning metaphorically
