Just Needing to Grieve
Embracing Grief: A Journey from Darkness to Light
Lyrics
I take a shot then I take another
I consume alcohol, taking one shot after another
Missed the maker's mark just by six feet under
I narrowly missed a significant achievement or goal
I might be half alive
I might be only partially alive
I may be half alive
I acknowledge that I may only be partially alive
I'm the nine to five I die between the numbers
I endure the routine of a regular job, feeling lifeless in between
Live for drunken nights raised in daytime slumber
I find solace in nights of drinking, contrasting with daytime lethargy
I'm livin' half a lie
I am living a life that is partially untrue
O God it must be true nothing is lastin'
Expressing a belief that nothing is permanent or enduring
Then you stopped breathin' out
A reference to someone ceasing to breathe
I can't hear your heartbeat loud
The absence of vital signs, particularly a loud heartbeat
I hate you left me now
Expressing resentment or sadness about being abandoned
I need to know it's okay if I come undone
Seeking reassurance that it's acceptable to fall apart emotionally
My tears have just begun to say all I can say
Indicating the beginning of tears as a way to express feelings
Say all I
Continuation of expressing oneself and sharing emotions
Say all
Further emphasis on vocalizing emotions
I speak the pain while my chin it quivers
Speaking about pain while physically showing signs of distress
Feelin' bound with shame but my words want delivered
Feeling constrained by shame but struggling to communicate
Don't really wanna cry
Expressing a reluctance to cry or show vulnerability
So I twist and bend and break
Using resistance and resilience to cope with emotional pain
I've just begun to stare back at my grief
Starting to confront and acknowledge personal grief
It took me from here to eternity
Describing a transformative journey from a difficult place to eternity
I'm risin' up from the night
Rising above a metaphorical night or dark period
I'm chasin' this light breakin' out of the casket
Pursuing enlightenment and breaking free from confinement
When you stopped breathin' out
Reiteration of someone ceasing to breathe
I can't hear your heartbeat loud
The absence of vital signs, with a focus on the heartbeat
I hate you left me now
Continued resentment or sadness about being abandoned
I'm comin' through the cloud
Emerging from a state of confusion or emotional turmoil
I really hope it's okay that I come undone
Hoping for acceptance while going through emotional breakdown
My tears have just begun to say all I can say
The beginning of tears as a way to express deeper feelings
Say all I want to
Emphasizing the freedom to express oneself fully
My heart it breaks up
Highlighting emotional pain and heartbreak
My soul it wakes up
Awakening spiritually or emotionally
I'm finally feelin' alive while I'm dyin'
Experiencing a sense of vitality despite the internal struggles
Afraid to stop believin'
Fearing to lose faith or hope in something important
It's something I just need to grieve in
Acknowledging the necessity of grieving as a process
