Wide Awake
Wide Awake: Navigating the Maze of Thoughts
Lyrics
I'm wide awake, mind of my own, cricket bows on my window
I am fully conscious, with an independent mind; there are cricket sounds outside my window.
I'm wide awake, should have been sheep, counting all my failures
Despite being awake, I should have been counting sheep, but instead, I'm reflecting on my failures.
I'm wide awake, can stop these thoughts, can't turn them off, on rewind
Although I am awake, I cannot stop certain thoughts, they persist and play in my mind like a rewind.
I'm wide awake, but if could, I'd sleep so long
Even though I am awake, I wish I could sleep for an extended period.
Rabbit holes, running 'round, in and out of my head
I find myself going through confusing and intricate thought patterns, like exploring rabbit holes in and out of my mind.
Sailing dark seas, I drift alone, sleeping don't come easy
Metaphorically sailing in dark and lonely emotional states, finding it hard to sleep.
Dawn's early light, and then I know I've gone the distance
With the early light of dawn, there is a realization of having gone through challenging experiences.
I'm wide awake, and I can't wait to sleep so long
Despite being awake, there is eagerness to sleep for an extended duration.
Rabbit holes, running 'round, in and out of my head
Repetition of the idea of exploring confusing thoughts and emotions, similar to rabbit holes.
Sailing dark seas, I drift alone, sleeping don't come easy
