Lyrics

Now I have more of my life

Reflecting on having more life experiences.

But when I go nuts

Experiencing moments of mental instability or distress.

It's all that I write

Expressing thoughts and emotions through writing.

Maybe a circus animal,

Comparing oneself to a circus animal, possibly feeling controlled or on display.


Maybe I'm at the zoo

Considering oneself in a confined or unnatural environment, like a zoo.

This strange mind in a cage

Feeling that one's unique or unconventional thoughts are confined, as if in a mental cage.

Is all that shows through.

Suggesting that the constrained mind is the only aspect visible to others.

Some days are so long

Acknowledging the challenges of enduring particularly long and difficult days.


He was a great once,

Referring to someone who was once great, making a commitment to the listener.

This I promise to you

Pledging a promise to someone about a person's greatness.

Most things fall apart

Observing the natural tendency of things to fall apart or decay.

Maybe I was to

Considering the possibility of personal deterioration.

Maybe I have to.

Accepting the necessity of facing personal challenges or difficulties.


Somewhere between twelve and two

Referencing a time between twelve and two, possibly an ambiguous or transitional period.

Once again there's smoke in my brain

Experiencing mental confusion or disturbance again.

She's been gone for years

Noting the absence of someone for an extended period.

But in the cloud she to remains

Suggesting that memories of the absent person persist, like a lingering presence in the mind.


That's all gone now

Expressing the loss or absence of something significant.

And we may not get through

Uncertainty about overcoming challenges or difficulties.

The truth may not be real,

Questioning the authenticity of truth, suggesting doubt or skepticism.

Pain will show you what's true.

Recognizing that pain can reveal deeper truths about oneself or a situation.
