Stalemate
Stuck in Stalemate: A Heart's Battle of Love and Ambition
Lyrics
I can't count the times I've dreamed about it
I have frequently envisioned this scenario.
Impossible it is to even wonder
It seems impossible to contemplate.
I woke for the first time in a long time
I experienced awakening after a prolonged period.
Slept through half a year of rain and thunder
I slept through a significant duration of rain and thunder.
Something that was said went into my head
Something said impacted my thoughts.
And it keeps me
This thought lingers in my mind.
Holding on
I persist, holding on.
We skipped pawns and knights and stormed the castle
We bypassed minor obstacles and aggressively approached a major challenge.
Headed for the king while he was in bed
We targeted the king while he was vulnerable.
Ignored our queens request as we were playing
We ignored the request of an important figure while engrossed in a game.
Ignored the price we'd find upon our heads
We neglected the consequences awaiting us.
I missed the move you made
I failed to notice your strategic move.
I'm stuck in stalemate
I'm trapped in a situation with no progress.
But I'm still
Despite challenges, I'm still persisting.
Holding on
I persist, holding on.
I can't count the times I've cried about it
I've cried numerous times about the situation.
I made the wrong move and now I'm paying
I made a mistake and now face the consequences.
And I can't quite enjoy any outcome
I can't find joy in any result.
Victory is lost if you're still dying
Victory is meaningless if you're still suffering.
Unspoken things are said
Unspoken thoughts prevail, and dreams seem unattainable.
Dreams are good as dead
Despite challenges, I'm still holding on.
But for some damn reason
For some inexplicable reason.
I'm holding on
Despite everything, I'm holding on.
Cuz it's you or the world
It's a choice between you and the world.
Cuz you were my world
You used to be my world.
But you need love and recognition in everything you do
However, you require love and recognition in all your endeavors.
And I lost my head in my ambition
I became overly ambitious and lost my rationality.
Tell me what's the use?
Questioning the purpose of it all.
Should I jump or face the friction that I always choose?
Should I take a risk or confront the challenges I always choose?
Yet I can't tell if it's a fiction that I'm afraid to loose
Uncertain if the difficulties are a fear of fiction or a fear of losing you.
Or just you
Contemplating whether it's about you specifically.
