Better Than Nothing
Finding Hope Amidst Desolation
Lyrics
I lie awake at night
I experience insomnia, staying awake during the night.
Tears drench my pillow
Tears soak my pillow, indicating distress or sadness.
I'm wondering why I can't drift to sleep
I'm puzzled about my inability to fall asleep.
My mind so full of lies
My mind is filled with falsehoods or deception.
Heavy thoughts surrounding me
Weighty thoughts surround me, suggesting a heavy mental burden.
And sooner than later
Time passes quickly, and morning arrives, forcing me to face the day.
Morning comes and I must face the day
Despite challenges, I confront the day ahead.
Cut these ropes that tie me down
Expressing a desire to break free from constraints or difficulties.
Drag my feet onto the ground
I struggle to start the day, feeling weighed down.
Pray for strength to leave the house today
Seeking strength through prayer to overcome the challenges of leaving the house.
'Cuz even the bad times
Acknowledging that even difficult times have some value.
Are better
Emphasizing that challenging experiences are preferable to nothing.
Than nothing
Reiterating that any experience, even negative, is better than nothing.
And Lord if it's alright
Expressing a request for a glimmer of optimism or positivity.
I'd like a bit of hope
Expressing a desire for divine assistance and guidance.
I don't feel like myself
Feeling disconnected from one's true self.
Oh God I need Your help
Seeking help from a higher power in the current moment.
Right now
An urgent plea for assistance or intervention.
A smile upon my face
Externally, I appear happy or content.
But behind these eyes
Beneath the surface, there is emptiness or lack of fulfillment.
Nothing
Expressing a feeling of nothingness behind the eyes.
I wish I could feel
A desire to experience emotions other than emptiness.
Anything but empty
Expressing a longing for any feeling other than emptiness.
'Cuz once the numbness sets in
Once a state of numbness sets in, its duration becomes uncertain.
There's no telling how long it will stay
Expressing a wish for the numbness to dissipate.
Wish it would go away
Expressing a need to take action and break free from constraints.
So I must
Repeating the need to sever restricting ties.
Cut these ropes that tie me down
Seeking the strength to face the challenges of the day.
Drag my feet upon the ground
Struggling to start the day while feeling burdened.
Pray for strength to make it through the day
Praying for strength to endure and overcome the challenges.
'Cuz even the bad times
Highlighting the value of difficult experiences over nothingness.
Are better
Reiterating that even challenging times have some worth.
Than nothing
Re-emphasizing that any experience, even negative, is better than nothing.
And Lord if it's alright
Expressing a request for a glimmer of optimism or positivity.
I'd like a bit of hope
Expressing a desire for divine assistance and guidance.
I don't feel like myself
Feeling disconnected from one's true self.
Oh God I need your help
Seeking help from a higher power in the current moment.
I don't feel like myself
Reiterating the feeling of being disconnected from oneself.
Oh God I need your help
An urgent plea for assistance or intervention.
I don't feel like my
Continuation of the feeling of not being oneself.
Don't feel like my
-Don't feel like myself
-God I need your help
An urgent plea for assistance or intervention.
Right now
An urgent plea for assistance or intervention in the present moment.
