Apprehension
Embracing Existence: Navigating Life's Struggles with Unsafe Unsound's 'Apprehension'
Lyrics
I'd like to say I've tried my best to see the bright side
Expressing an attempt to maintain a positive outlook despite challenges.
And on my way I fell into the cracks of a fault line
Falling into difficulties represented by a fault line while navigating one's path.
Lately I've become so tired of depending on everyone else to give me a meaning
Frustration with relying on others for a sense of purpose and seeking personal meaning.
As if I should need one
Questioning the necessity of needing an externally defined purpose.
Why's it not enough to just exist?
Questioning the inadequacy of mere existence without further significance.
This is just how it is
Acceptance of the reality that life may be challenging without a clear purpose.
It should be enough to just exist
Asserting that existence itself should be sufficient without the need for additional validation.
Learn to accept it
Encouraging the acceptance of life's inherent challenges.
I need to kill the common factor before I let it bury me
Desire to eliminate common negative influences before they become overwhelming.
Then I can safely tread the disturbed earth instead of walking in my grave
Expressing a wish to navigate through life without succumbing to its challenges.
They say that change, in life, is the only constant
Acknowledging the inevitability of change in life.
I say they're wrong to pretend there's not also conflict
Challenging the notion that change is the sole constant, highlighting the presence of conflict.
Scared to think I'm doing better when every time I do, I just run into a setback
Fear of encountering setbacks despite making progress.
But I'm terrified to waste more time 'cause I know it's impossible to get back
Fear of wasting time due to the irreversible nature of certain actions.
Sick of being in between who I was and who I want to be
Frustration with being in a transitional phase between past and desired self.
When's it finally gonna be enough for me?
Questioning when personal growth and achievement will be satisfying.
I want to take that leap, but I can't seem to stop my legs from shaking
Desire to take significant steps forward despite inner turmoil and hesitation.
And, when I try to just breathe, it seems I only start hyperventilating
Struggling with anxiety and physical reactions while attempting personal growth.
Am I to just press on, blood lacking the balance it needs
Contemplating the decision to persevere despite physical and emotional challenges.
Carried by these weakened limbs, to face life even if it kills me?
Weighing the choice to face life, even if it poses a potential risk.
Just don't look back
Encouraging forward movement without dwelling on the past.
Keep your eyes north
Advice to maintain focus on future goals and aspirations.
