Shaking
Shaking Away Self-Doubt: TraceTheLightning's Soulful Journey
Lyrics
I might be the bane of my darling's existence
I might be causing difficulties for my beloved
But she might find a home in my hungering flames
She may find comfort in my intense passion
I get so consumed by the birth of my vision
I am deeply engrossed in bringing my vision to life
That I don't have no shame in the things that I am
I am unashamed of who I am and my actions
I don't know how else I should feel
Uncertain about how I should emotionally respond
But I've been drinking twice my weight
I've been excessively drinking, perhaps to cope
I can't condemn myself to
I refuse to be trapped by my past mistakes
Living inside the many mistakes I've made
Acknowledging and learning from past errors
I don't know what else I could do
Feeling limited in choices, unsure what to do
But I've been patient all my life
Despite patience, life has been challenging
I can't just live inside the memories
Rejecting living solely in nostalgic memories
Of the frivolous things I write
Not dwelling on superficial or trivial matters
And so I'm shaking it all away, shaking it all away
Expressing a desire to shake off troubles
All of the pain it brings
Referring to the pain that needs to be discarded
Shaking it all way, shaking it all away
Continuing the theme of shaking away self-doubt
All of the self doubt
Addressing internal questioning and insecurity
And so I'm shaking it all away, shaking it all away
Reiterating the need to shake off emotional pain
All of the pain it brings
Emphasizing the importance of letting go of pain
Shaking it all way, shaking it all away
Repeating the desire to shake away self-doubt
All of the self doubt
Stressing the need to overcome personal uncertainty
I could spill my thoughts here, and hope that you listen
Expressing thoughts with the hope of being heard
And they might resonate in your mind when I'm gone
Hoping that expressed thoughts resonate after departure
Cause I won't find a hint of the things that I'm missing
Admitting the absence of certain experiences or feelings
But I won't say a word if I feel like I'm wrong
Choosing silence if unsure or incorrect
I get so distraught when I think of our distance
Feeling distressed about physical or emotional distance
But I can pay my bills off right here in these keys
Finding financial stability in musical expression
You know if I tried I could keep it consistent
Believing in the potential for consistent artistic output
So I won't compromise in the words that I weave
Committing to authentic expression in lyrics
I don't know how else I should feel
Uncertain about emotional responses to life's challenges
But I've been drinking twice my weight
Continued reliance on excessive drinking
I can't condemn myself to
Refusing to be defined by past mistakes
Living inside the many mistakes I've made
Learning from and moving beyond previous errors
I don't know what else I could do
Feeling limited in choices, unsure what to do
But I've been patient all my life
Despite patience, life has been challenging
I can't just live inside the memories
Rejecting living solely in nostalgic memories
Of the frivolous things I write
Not dwelling on superficial or trivial matters
And so I'm shaking it all away, shaking it all away
Expressing a desire to shake off troubles
All of the pain it brings
Referring to the pain that needs to be discarded
Shaking it all way, shaking it all away
Continuing the theme of shaking away self-doubt
All of the self doubt
Addressing internal questioning and insecurity
