Transient Love
Chasing Redemption: Navigating Life's Turbulence with Transient Love
Lyrics
I used to lie to myself all the time
I used to deceive myself regularly.
I was always over-reacting, screaming "I'm gonna die."
I often exaggerated and expressed intense emotions, proclaiming a fear of death.
But now I'm five thousand miles from a head on my shoulder
Currently, I am far away from finding comfort or support.
From a night I spent sober, screaming "I'm gonna die."
Reflecting on a past night of sobriety, expressing a similar fear of death.
But all I ever wanted was to make things right
Expressing a desire to set things right.
All I ever wanted was to make things right
Reiteration of the longing to correct mistakes and improve situations.
Transient love, I was a ghost on your birthday
Referring to a love that was fleeting and elusive, where the narrator felt like a ghost on a significant day.
I was a runaway, somewhere in a grave of mistakes
Acknowledging a period of running away, buried in a grave of errors.
Transient love, you should've seen the view from the mansion
Describing a transient love and referencing a luxurious view from a mansion, triggering thoughts about unspoken matters.
It made me think of things we never mentioned
Contemplating unspoken issues brought to mind by the mansion's view.
The things we're too afraid to say
Highlighting topics too frightening to discuss openly.
Like what if I spend the next few years
Pondering the possibility of spending the upcoming years distant and detached.
Just somewhere in some atmosphere
Imagining being in an undefined place or state of mind.
While you're at home with pills for pain
Contrasting the narrator's potential experience with the listener's struggle at home using medication for pain.
I hope it doesn't end this way
Expressing a hope that the situation does not conclude in a negative manner.
All I ever wanted was to make things right
Reiterating the desire to correct and improve things.
All I ever wanted was to make things right
Emphasizing the persistent wish to make amends.
Over and over in my head I tried
Recounting repeated attempts in the narrator's thoughts to set things right.
But all I ever wanted was to make things right
Reiterating the primary aspiration to make things right.
