Navigating Life's Gray Zones: The Pretty Ugly's All The Time
Lyrics
Cause I don't know wrong from right
Certainty about distinguishing right from wrong is elusive.
And it's keeping me up at night
The uncertainty is causing insomnia.
Stuck in a fight or flight situation
Feeling trapped in a constant state of fight or flight.
All the time
This state persists consistently.
Balanced on my tippy toes
Being delicately balanced, possibly emotionally or mentally.
I've sung a few sharp and flat notes
Experiencing both successful and unsuccessful moments.
It's all part of society's tone to get pulled apart
Society's expectations contribute to being torn apart.
(Get pulled apart)
Reiterating the idea of being pulled apart.
I'm too cool for the freak show
Rejecting conformity and societal expectations.
I'm too weird for the high school cult
Feeling out of place in mainstream social groups.
Sitting in a medium flow
Existing in a moderate, balanced state.
Where do I start
Expressing uncertainty about where to begin.
(Where do I start)
Repeating the uncertainty about starting.
Where do I start
Repeating the question of where to start.
Cause I don't know wrong from right
Reiterating the challenge of distinguishing right from wrong.
And it's keeping me up at night
Repeating the impact of this uncertainty on sleep.
Stuck in a fight or flight situation
Reiterating the feeling of being trapped in fight or flight.
All the time
Reiterating the persistent nature of this state.
School girl
Introducing a different perspective – a schoolgirl's struggle.
Fighting on her phone again
Depicting a conflict involving a schoolgirl and her phone.
Something bout her dad owing money shes gotta go to work
Explaining her situation, adding a sense of relative perspective.
Suddenly my life isn't quite the worst
Finding solace in realizing others face challenges too.
That I thought it might be
Reflecting on personal struggles in light of others' challenges.
Cause I don't know wrong from right
Reiterating the difficulty in distinguishing right from wrong.
And it's keeping me up at night
Reiterating the impact on sleep due to uncertainty.
Stuck in a fight or flight situation
Reiterating the feeling of being stuck in fight or flight.
All the time
Reiterating the persistence of this challenging state.
Cause I don't know wrong from right
Reiterating the struggle with distinguishing right from wrong.
And it's keeping me up at night
Reiterating the impact on sleep due to uncertainty.
Stuck in a fight or flight situation
Reiterating the feeling of being stuck in fight or flight.
All the time
Reiterating the persistence of this challenging state.
Cause I don't know wrong from right
Reiterating the struggle with distinguishing right from wrong.
And it's keeping me up at night
Reiterating the impact on sleep due to uncertainty.
Stuck in a fight or flight situation
Reiterating the feeling of being stuck in fight or flight.
All the time
Reiterating the persistence of this challenging state.
Cause I don't know wrong from right
Reiterating the struggle with distinguishing right from wrong.
And it's keeping me up at night
Reiterating the impact on sleep due to uncertainty.
Stuck in a fight or flight situation
Reiterating the feeling of being stuck in fight or flight.
All the time
Reiterating the persistence of this challenging state.
