Pessimistic
Rising from Despair: Unveiling the Depths of Inner Struggle in 'Pessimistic'
Lyrics
Hoping for everything to change
Hoping for a significant change in circumstances or life.
You're wide awake but you're barely breathing
Despite being awake, the person feels barely alive or overwhelmed.
I never thought I would become a slave
Expressing unexpected feelings of being enslaved, possibly by negative emotions.
To all the hatred that burns inside me
Feeling controlled by internal hatred and struggling with its impact.
You hope for everything to change
Reiterating the desire for a significant change in various aspects.
You're wide awake, barely breathing
Despite being awake, the person feels barely alive or overwhelmed (repeated).
I never thought I would become a slave
Repeating the realization of being unexpectedly enslaved.
I never thought I would become a slave
Emphasizing the unexpected nature of becoming a slave (repeated).
For all that I am
Acknowledging being a slave to one's identity or characteristics.
You'd take it
Suggesting a willingness to endure or accept hardships.
You'd take everything that I ever loved
Facing the loss of everything beloved or cherished.
Liars, you made me the man that I am today
Blaming others (liars) for shaping the speaker into their current self.
A sharpened spear with the trust of a thief and it's got me nowhere
Describing oneself as a weapon, manipulated by trust, yet achieving nothing.
They claim salvation in a false horizon and I'm not giving in
Rejecting false promises and refusing to surrender to a misleading future.
To the monsters waiting
Referring to negative influences as "monsters" waiting to exploit hope.
For a chance to turn all of your hope into shame
Highlighting the risk of hope being turned into shame by external forces.
I've been contemplating how they won't forget me
Contemplating the lasting impact the speaker will have on others.
I'm tired of feeling hopeless and I'm tired of being used
Expressing exhaustion and frustration with a sense of being used.
What do I have to give to you
Pondering what the speaker has left to offer to others.
Your eyes cut like knives and I knew you had it out for me
Describing the impact of someone's intense gaze, suggesting hostility.
You had it out for me
Affirming that someone harbored ill intentions or hostility toward the speaker.
