Always Lookin' Down
Rising from Shadows: UGLYBEAUTY's Journey Through Pain and Redemption
Lyrics
Shit just ain't the same but I'm okay now
Expressing that life has changed, but the speaker is now okay.
Someone please explain how to get pain out
Requesting guidance on coping with pain.
Feelings don't go away in a day now
Acknowledging that emotions take time to fade.
I left my younger self in the past but he's okay now
Reflecting on leaving behind a troubled past self who is now fine.
Gone, having all this trouble in my room
Feeling overwhelmed with difficulties in private.
I just don't feel like I belong
Reiterating a sense of not fitting in or belonging.
I just don't feel like I belong
-I just don't feel like I belong
-Been trapped here for some days and some change now
Expressing a sense of being stuck for some time.
Why I open this bottle and took eight out
Questioning the decision to consume substances for relief.
Someone banned me from the playground
Feeling excluded or banned from a place of enjoyment.
Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong
Seeking understanding about personal mistakes.
I don't really know what I saw
Uncertain about past experiences.
But I hope he's okay now
Expressing hope for someone's well-being.
But things always lookin down, things always lookin down
Emphasizing a consistent downward trend in life.
It's been another year
Acknowledging the passage of time.
I don't know how many more I'll be here
Uncertain about the future, questioning how much longer the speaker will be around.
I try to talk to people but they don't hear
Struggling to communicate with others.
Wanna see the picture but it's not clear
Expressing a desire for clarity in understanding.
Why I, why I, Keep goin?
Pondering the motivation to continue despite challenges.
I say just live in the moment
Suggesting the importance of living in the present moment.
I come back
Returning after facing hardships.
All battered and bruised
Physically and emotionally affected by past experiences.
I'm better for this trauma and that one too
Gaining strength and resilience from traumatic events.
At first I don't know what to do
Initial confusion after overcoming challenges.
I don't really know what to do
-But I can cook some tunes
Discovering a talent for creating music and expressing confidence in pursuing it.
And I put out some music
-I think that I can do it
-I think that I can do it
-Shit just ain't the same but I'm okay now
Repeating the theme of overcoming difficulties and leaving the past behind.
Someone please explain how to get pain out
-Feelings don't go away in a day now
-I left my younger self in the past but he's okay now
-Gone, having all this trouble in my room
Experiencing troubles in a personal space.
I just don't feel like I belong
Continuing to express a sense of not belonging.
I just don't feel like I belong
-I just don't feel like I belong
-Shit just ain't the same but I'm okay now
Reiteration of personal growth and overcoming challenges.
Someone please explain how to get pain out
-Feelings don't go away in a day now
-I left my younger self in the past but he's okay now
-Gone, all of these people in my life
Feeling isolated despite having people in life who may not understand the struggles.
None of 'em know what it's like
-But things always lookin down, things always lookin down
Highlighting the ongoing negative outlook on life.
