Ol Fish Bowl
Lost Words and Fish Bowl Reflections: Troy Braunstein's Melancholic Musings
Lyrics
Why didn't I talk
Regretting not speaking when there was an opportunity
While I had the chance
Reflecting on missed chances
Why didn't I speak
Expressing remorse for not articulating feelings
These words that I felt
Regret about unspoken emotions
Is it one in million
Contemplating the rarity or uniqueness of a situation
Or a million to one
Questioning the odds or probabilities
Guess the world its still spinning
Observing the world continuing despite personal struggles
Thought it was over back then
Feeling a false sense of conclusion in the past
Brush it off
Encouraging oneself to move on
Tell me all about it
Inviting someone to share their thoughts and feelings
I don't know what I can say but I can listen
Expressing readiness to listen
cll I ever wanted was right there in front of my own eyes
Desiring something that was always present but not recognized
Before I lost it
Reflecting on the loss of something valuable
Forget it
Deciding to forget and move on
Im swimming in circles in this ol fish bowl
Feeling stuck or trapped in a repetitive cycle of life
Eyes are on me
Sensing the attention of others
Guess I should say something sweet
Considering saying something positive or comforting
Looks like I could cry
Appearing emotional or distressed
Or something got in my eyes
Suggesting tears or emotional impact
Pretend I'm not trying
Pretending not to make an effort when trying hard
When I'm trying too hard
Struggling with the appearance of effort
It took me a whole day
Highlighting the time taken to express something
Just to write this one line
Emphasizing difficulty in articulating thoughts
So brush it off
Encouraging oneself to move on (repeated)
Tell me all about it
Inviting someone to share their thoughts and feelings (repeated)
I don't know what I can say but I can listen
Expressing readiness to listen (repeated)
cnd I listen all the time
Stating continuous willingness to listen
cll I ever wanted was right there in front of my own eyes
Desiring something that was always present but not recognized (repeated)
Before I lost it
Reflecting on the loss of something valuable (repeated)
Forget it
Deciding to forget and move on (repeated)
Im swimming in circles in this ol fish bowl
Feeling stuck or trapped in a repetitive cycle of life (repeated)
cll I ever wanted was right there in front of my own eyes
Desiring something that was always present but not recognized (repeated)
Before I lost it
Reflecting on the loss of something valuable (repeated)
Forget it
Deciding to forget and move on (repeated)
Im swimming in circles in this ol fish bowl
Feeling stuck or trapped in a repetitive cycle of life (repeated)
