Gotta Get a Hold of Myself
Finding Redemption: A Soul's Struggle to Move On
Lyrics
Girl, I know you're not coming back anymore
Recognizing that the girl won't return.
So why, oh, why do I keep on watching the door'
Questioning the persistence of waiting for her return.
I talk to you
Engaging in conversation despite her absence.
As though you can hear what I say
Talking as though she can hear, despite her absence.
But I'll lose my mind
Fear of losing mental stability due to this behavior.
If I keep on acting this way
Concern over potential consequences of continuing this behavior.
I've got to get a hold on myself
Acknowledging the need to regain control.
Got to make believe I don't care
Attempting to convince oneself of indifference.
Got to go someplace
Desire to move to a different location.
Find a brand new place
Seeking a fresh start in a new place.
Got to get out and get somewhere
Feeling a need to escape the current situation.
Got to get a hold on myself
Reiterating the necessity of self-control.
Got to take what life has to give
Accepting what life offers.
Got to get on the track
Commitment to getting back on the right path.
And lay down and die
Expressing extreme despair or hopelessness.
Got to get a hold on myself
Emphasizing the urgency of regaining control.
Late at night I hear footsteps sound down the hall
Hallucinating or imagining the girl's return.
And I tell myself that you're coming back after all
Self-reassurance about her potential return.
Telephone rings but there's no one on the line
Receiving calls but finding no one on the line.
No, no, no, when I stop and think
Realization that these thoughts are self-created.
I know it's all in my mind
Understanding that it's a creation of the mind.
I've got to get a hold on myself
Reiterating the need for self-control and composure.
Got to make believe I don't care
Attempting to convince oneself of indifference, again.
Got to go someplace
Desire to relocate to a different place.
Find a brand new place
Seeking a fresh start in a new location, reiterated.
Got to get out and get somewhere
Feeling a need to escape the current situation, reiterated.
Got to get a hold on myself
Re-emphasizing the necessity of self-control.
Got to take what life has to give
Acceptance of whatever life presents.
Got to get on the track
Determination to get back on track.
And lay down and die
Expressing extreme despair or hopelessness, reiterated.
Got to get a hold on myself
Stressing the urgency of regaining control, reiterated.
