Lyrics
I used to be indecisive
I used to struggle with making decisions.
But now... I'm not so sure
Now, I am uncertain about my certainty.
There's little sign of feeling
People show little emotion when you gaze into their eyes.
When you look into their eyes.
This lack of emotional expression is notable, especially in the realm of politics.
The politicians sighing, that -
Politicians express dissatisfaction, claiming that nothing is amiss in our world, despite not comprehending the situation.
"nothing's going wrong in our world tonight -
The world is portrayed as trouble-free, though it is not fully understood.
nothing... (we don't understand)"
This lack of understanding is emphasized in parentheses, and the statement is reiterated.
There's no point in speaking -
Communication is deemed futile.
"help me if you can"
A plea for assistance is made, acknowledging the complexity of the situation.
Is this a retribution
Questioning whether current circumstances are a form of retribution.
to compensate for a lack of understanding.
Suggesting that the lack of understanding is a factor contributing to the need for retribution.
I think we should pretend
Advocating for a facade of normalcy, ignoring the evident issues.
that nothing's going wrong in our world tonight,
Reiterating the idea that nothing is wrong in the world, despite the lack of comprehension.
nothing - (we don't understand)
Restating the notion that the world's complexities are not understood.
& I'm doing the best that I can.
The speaker is exerting maximum effort to cope with the situation.
Am I locked up forever, in a picture of despair,
Questioning whether the speaker is trapped indefinitely in a state of hopelessness.
I've put my spirit on to paper & into words
The speaker has translated their emotions and thoughts onto paper.
I've opened my eyes & I've realized
Realizing one's true identity after gaining perspective.
- who I really am.
The acknowledgment of self-discovery and understanding one's true self.
I thought I loved you, but I think I must be wrong
A realization that the feeling of love may have been misunderstood.
There's another feeling in my heart
An alternative emotion is present in the speaker's heart.
This sense of pride, is silencing my sorrow,
A sense of pride suppresses the speaker's sorrow.
I find it hard to come alive
The speaker finds it challenging to feel alive.
when I'm hollowed out -
The speaker experiences emptiness and a lack of fulfillment.
