Since I've Thought About It
Reflections of Inner Struggles: Tobias Carpenter's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Would you stay?
Questioning if the listener would stay
I'm having a hard time seeing straight
Expressing difficulty in maintaining a clear perspective
Am I okay?
Asking about personal well-being
It's been a while since I've thought about it
Reflecting on past thoughts, possibly related to a specific matter
Was I wrong?
Questioning one's past actions and decisions
For never leaving well enough alone
Acknowledging a tendency to interfere or not leave things as they are
Am I okay?
Concerns about personal well-being, echoing line 3
It's been a while since I've thought about it at all
Reiterating the passage of time since contemplating a specific issue
It's been a while since I've thought about it at all
-It's been a while since I've thought about it at all
-Was I safe?
Questioning if one was in a safe situation or made safe choices
I'm living only with the best intentions
Expressing a commitment to positive intentions
And I feel great, besides the things I will not mention
Feeling good overall but avoiding discussion of specific concerns
And was I wrong?
Revisiting the doubt about past decisions
To think that any part of this would ever try to slow me down
Questioning the assumption that certain aspects would impede progress
Am I wrong?
Reassessing personal feelings and well-being
For feeling better than I was before, I see it coming back around
Feeling optimistic about improvement and a positive cycle
Coming back around
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of positive changes
I think the drugs I take, are keeping my head straight
Suggesting a reliance on medication for mental clarity
I get this feeling that I'm standing right in front of me
Feeling a sense of self-awareness and presence
Would you take me home, I think I'm moving slow
Expressing a desire to be taken home due to perceived slowness
In no time I'll be coming back around
Anticipating a positive change or return to a better state
I think the drugs I take, are keeping my head straight
Repeating the theme of relying on drugs for mental stability
I get this feeling that I'm standing right in front of me
Reiterating a sense of self-awareness
Would you take me home, I think I'm moving slow
Expressing a desire to be taken home due to perceived slowness
In no time I'll be coming back around
Anticipating a positive change or return to a better state
I'll be coming back around
Stating the intention to come back around, possibly to a better mental state
Would you stay?
Repeating the opening lines, suggesting continued uncertainty
I'm having a hard time seeing straight
-Am I okay?
-It's been a while since I've thought about it
Reiterating the time that has passed since contemplating a specific issue
Was I wrong?
-For never leaving well enough alone
-Am I okay?
-It's been a while since I've thought about it at all
-It's been a while since I've thought about it at all
-It's been a while since I've thought about it
Final repetition emphasizing the prolonged period without reflection
