Lyrics
The same year I first found love
The year I first experienced love.
Was the year I lost my mind
The same year, I faced mental challenges and difficulties.
Thought it could overpower anything But the mirror’s not so kind
Believed love could overcome anything, but self-reflection in the mirror is harsh.
Constant reflections
Ongoing self-examination.
Constant projections
Continual self-projections onto others.
I tried to run
Attempted to escape or avoid facing personal issues.
Couldn't face my corrections ‘cause who you are is not your fault But you can’t make it a restraint
Acknowledgment that one's identity is not entirely one's fault, but it shouldn't be a limitation.
‘cause you can't begin again
Emphasizing the inability to start anew.
When you find your middle
Finding a midpoint or balance in life.
Never had an end
Life is continuous, lacking a clear endpoint.
You can begin again
Contradicts line 9, suggesting the possibility of starting afresh.
Wake up
Waking up from a challenging situation.
Head's in a vise
Feeling mentally constricted or pressured.
Vise made of all my vices Open wide
A metaphorical vise made from personal flaws, admitting faults openly.
The pendulum's swung No more of my disguises
A decisive moment of revelation, ending pretense.
Constant reflections
Continued self-reflection and projection.
Constant projections
Perpetual attempt to deflect or avoid facing problems in love.
I tried to run down a road of deflections Love only deals what you deal out
Trying to evade responsibility, but realizing that love reciprocates what is given.
But you can’t leave out yourself
Stressing the importance of self-acceptance.
Oh how I’ve lived but here’s my distinction My addiction is fear of extinction
Highlighting a personal struggle with fear of extinction, possibly metaphorical.
A codependent
Dependence on others, intertwined with self-questioning.
I question existence
Philosophical questioning of one's existence.
But now I’ll simply live without resistance
Choosing to live without resistance, accepting life as it comes.
