Lyrics
Don’t remember the reason why,
Expressing uncertainty or forgetfulness about the cause or reason for a situation.
I can’t look at myself,
Feeling an inability to face oneself or confront one's own reflection.
I’ve been hunting for tragedy,
Actively seeking out unfortunate or distressing events, possibly for a sense of connection or understanding.
Found it on the bottom shelf,
Discovering and acknowledging adversity or hardship in a place that is easily accessible or within reach.
Ive been treading water,
Metaphorically describing the struggle to stay afloat or survive in difficult circumstances.
Tipping the scales,
Engaging in actions that affect the balance of a situation, possibly with unintended consequences.
Like a lamb to slaughter,
Comparing oneself to a lamb led to slaughter, suggesting a sense of vulnerability or being led into a dangerous situation.
Chasing its tail,
Pursuing something futile or self-destructive, akin to a creature chasing its own tail.
I can’t forget the reasons why,
Unable to erase or overcome the reasons causing inner turmoil or unrest.
I can’t find any peace,
Experiencing a difficulty in finding inner calm or tranquility.
Ive been haunted by emptiness,
Haunted by a sense of emptiness or void, possibly an emotional or existential emptiness.
I’d do anything to find relief,
Willing to do anything to alleviate the pain or distress caused by the emptiness.
I’ve been treading water,
Continuing to struggle or persevere in challenging circumstances, without significant progress.
Tipping the scales,
Continuing actions that affect the balance, possibly contributing to a negative outcome.
Like a lamb to slaughter,
Reiterating the vulnerability, comparing oneself to a lamb in a perilous situation.
Chasing its tail,
Persisting in a fruitless or cyclic pursuit, similar to a creature chasing its own tail.
I’ve been treading water,
Repeating the metaphor of struggling in difficult circumstances or emotional turmoil.
Tipping the scales,
Continuing actions that tip the balance, possibly worsening the situation.
Like a lamb to slaughter,
Emphasizing vulnerability, likening oneself to a lamb in a situation leading to potential harm.
Chasing its tail.
Persisting in a futile or self-destructive pursuit, repeating the imagery of chasing one's own tail.
