Lyrics
I try to run away
I attempt to escape
And put my mind at rest
Striving to find peace of mind
Tomorrow it’s over
Anticipation of the end coming soon
I know that I am wrong
Recognition of personal wrongdoing
But still I do my best
Despite knowing I'm wrong, I give my best effort
And try to stay sober
Attempting to remain clear-headed and abstain from intoxication
My mind is taking over
Feeling overwhelmed as my thoughts take control
And now I think I’m closer to god
Believing I am approaching a connection with a higher power
You see it every day
Observing a recurring phenomenon in daily life
When you watch the news
Reference to the impact of news on perceptions
You cannot escape it
Acknowledging the inescapability of certain realities
But this is not the truth
Challenging the perceived truth, asserting hope
There is always hope
Emphasizing the existence of optimism and possibilities
This is not the end
Contrary to appearances, asserting that this is not the conclusion
You can't escape the thoughts you have
Stating the impossibility of avoiding one's thoughts
And so you sacrifice yourself
Choosing self-sacrifice in the face of unavoidable thoughts
You can't see anyway
Expressing a lack of clarity or vision
Can't get your mind at rest
Unable to find peace of mind
Tomorrow it’s over
Reiteration of the anticipation of an impending end
You think that I will leave
Expectation of departure despite efforts to stay
Yet say I do my best
Commitment to giving the best despite expectations
And try to stay sober
Striving to remain clear-headed and avoid intoxication
My mind is taking over
Feeling overwhelmed as thoughts take control again
And now I think I’m closer to god
Belief in increased proximity to a higher power
