Retract
Self-Reflection and Solitude: This Regret's 'Retract' Unveiled
Lyrics
Wasting away
Expressing a sense of decay or deterioration.
I thought I knew everything
Confidence in one's knowledge, potentially leading to arrogance.
Can’t catch a break
Continuous streak of bad luck or misfortune.
I never learn anything
A pattern of not gaining insights from experiences.
I’ll never blame it on myself
Refusing to take responsibility for negative outcomes.
I only bring it on myself
Acknowledging personal contribution to problems.
I’ll be alone forever and ever
Expectation or fear of eternal loneliness.
Stuck in my head where it’s better
Choosing to stay in one's thoughts as a coping mechanism.
It’s better
Emphasizing the comfort found within one's thoughts.
I’ll slowly fade
Gradual disappearance or withdrawal.
I’ll fade into oblivion
Fading away into obscurity or insignificance.
I'm not afraid
Fearlessness in the face of challenges.
No, not even a little bit
No fear whatsoever, even in small amounts.
I’ll never blame it on myself
Continued denial of personal responsibility.
I only bring it on myself
Admitting personal accountability for difficulties.
I’ll be alone forever and ever
Expectation or acceptance of perpetual solitude.
Stuck in my head where it’s better
Choosing to remain within one's thoughts for comfort.
It’s better
Reiteration of the solace found within thoughts.
We’re the same, but slightly varied
Highlighting similarities with others, yet noting subtle differences.
With matching thoughts that can’t be buried
Shared unspoken thoughts that cannot be ignored.
But we can’t ever be together
An acknowledgment of the impossibility of being together despite similarities.
I’ll be alone forever and ever
Expectation or acceptance of perpetual isolation.
Stuck in my head where it’s better
Choosing to stay within one's thoughts for comfort.
It’s better
Reiteration of the solace found within thoughts.
I’ll never blame it on myself
Continued denial of personal responsibility.
I only bring it on myself
Admitting personal accountability for difficulties.
