Enemy #1
Breaking Free: Unraveling the Struggle Within
Lyrics
The situations gone
The situation has passed.
And everybody wants something else
Everyone desires something different.
Well you won first prize for self sacrifice
You received recognition for sacrificing yourself, prioritizing others.
While you sat up on the shelf
While you remained uninvolved or inactive.
You couldn't pay the price
You couldn't handle the consequences.
Done playing nice with your friends
You're done pretending to be friendly with your companions.
Didn't get real far in your fancy car
Your luxurious car didn't get you far; it broke down.
Broken down on the bends
Stranded at difficult or challenging points.
Was it okay to feel that way
Is it acceptable to feel that way?
Because I don't have much to say or do I
Expressing uncertainty about having much to contribute or say.
As I hit the floor
Falling down.
I said stop
Request to halt or stop.
Don't be your own worst enemy
Advising against being one's own adversary.
And you know that you can't be your own worst enemy
Recognizing the inability to be self-destructive.
Because if I tried to pick you up again
If attempting to assist again,
You'd just go and break your legs
Expecting you to harm yourself.
And bring me down to fall
Causing mutual downfall.
Picking petals off
Removing petals from a flower, expressing uncertainty about being loved.
Saying love me nots all the time
Consistently doubting love.
You tried your luck using flower pots
Trying various methods but unable to decide.
Couldn't make up your mind
Achievement was never a priority.
Success was never the best
Overwhelmed and stressed to the point of collapse.
Drop dead over stressed everyday
Consistently arriving late but aiming for the top.
Fashionably late to being first place
Casually behaving, perhaps disrespectfully.
Kicking your shoes on the concrete walkway
Disrespecting conventions or norms.
Was it okay to feel that way
Uncertain about expressing thoughts or actions.
Because I don't have much to say or do I
Similar uncertainty about contribution or expression.
As I hit the floor
Falling down again.
I said stop
Reiterating the request to halt.
Don't be your own worst enemy
Advice against self-sabotage.
And you know that you can't be your own worst enemy
Acknowledging the inability to harm oneself intentionally.
Because if I tried to pick you up again
Expecting self-harm if assistance is provided.
You'd just go and break your legs
Resulting in mutual failure.
And bring me down to fall
Reiterating the request to stop self-sabotage.
I said stop
Repeated plea to halt self-destructive behaviors.
Don't be your own worst enemy
Emphasizing the inability to be one's own adversary.
And you know that you can't be your own worst enemy
Reaffirmation of the impossibility of self-sabotage.
I said stop
Continued insistence to stop self-destruction.
Don't be your own worst enemy
Reiterating the impossibility of being one's own adversary.
And you know that you can't be your own worst enemy
Confirming the inability to intentionally harm oneself.
