Griefwound
Griefwound: Navigating the Abyss of Regret and Loss
Lyrics
Every time I try and cleanse my regrets
Attempting to rid oneself of past mistakes and remorse
I end up going further off the deep
Struggling and drifting away from resolution or improvement
Just when I thought things were looking up
Perceiving a positive change, but hope is shattered
My hope is buried in the fucking ground
Loss of hope, a sense of despair and frustration
Breathe in dirt I drown
Metaphorically drowning in the consequences of mistakes
This won't ever go away
Acknowledging the persistent nature of pain and regret
Things will never be the same
Acceptance that life will never return to its previous state
You keep on talking about change
Others speak of change, but personal struggle remains
But I'm stuck in this residual mind frame
Feeling trapped in a lingering state of regret and mindset
You can't go back to something that's gone
Inability to revisit or revive what has been lost
You can't take away the things you did wrong
The permanence of past mistakes and their consequences
Lessons I have learned in the hardest of ways
Gained wisdom through challenging experiences
Nothing will bring back our happier days
Acknowledgment that joyous moments cannot be reclaimed
Every time I try and cleanse my regrets
Repeating the cycle of attempting to overcome regrets
I end up going further off the deep
Continued struggle and moving away from resolution
Just when I thought things were looking up
Hope emerges briefly but is crushed once again
My hope is buried in the fucking ground
Desperation and hopelessness persist
Breathe in dirt I drown
Symbolic drowning in the consequences of actions
This won't ever go away
Emphasizing the enduring nature of pain and regret
Things will never be the same
Accepting that life has been permanently altered
You keep on talking about change
External discussions about change have no personal impact
But I'm stuck in this residual mind frame
Feeling confined in a persistent state of mindset
All-consuming thoughts
Overwhelming and all-encompassing negative thoughts
Shadowing my brain
Dark thoughts overshadowing and clouding the mind
I am stagnant in this loss
Stuck and unchanging in the face of significant loss
Negative blood runs in my veins
Symbolizing a pervasive influence of negativity in one's life
All-consuming guilt
Intense guilt that surrounds and defines the individual
Encompassing my shame
Shame that encompasses and defines personal identity
Stagnant in this grief
Remaining stagnant in the overwhelming grief experienced
No one else but me to blame
Accepting personal responsibility for the grief and pain
Every time I try and cleanse my regrets
Reiterating the recurring attempts to overcome regrets
I end up going further off the deep
Persistent struggle and drifting away from resolution
Just when I thought things were looking up
Hope briefly surfaces but is once again crushed
My hope is buried in the fucking ground
Reaffirmation of the deep despair and loss of hope
