The Crushing Weight
Confronting Choices: The Crushing Weight of Life's Dilemmas
Lyrics
Face to face
Confronting the consequences face to face
With the consequences of
Facing the outcomes of decisions
Choices made
Dealing with the results of choices made
A horrific sight
Witnessing a terrible and shocking scene
Stay a slave
Choosing to remain subservient
And take comfort in the
Finding solace in the false belief of
Illusion of
An illusion of
All the open doors
Opportunities that seem endless
The crushing weight
The overwhelming burden
Of a life to lead
Of living a meaningful life
Just a shell of irrelevancy
A mere empty existence
Lost myself in what to be
Feeling lost in defining one's identity
Clinging on to my passive safety
Clinging to a false sense of security
As I refuse to see
Denying the harsh reality
That to want it all
Realizing that desiring everything results in having nothing
Is to have nothing
Understanding the paradox of wanting it all
And not to live in vain
Choosing to live with purpose
Is to fail
Fearing failure by not living meaningfully
As I stray
Straying away from the intended path
Further away
Moving farther from the right course
My Sensibility is deluding me
Being deceived by one's own sensitivity
Staying ignorant, staying a fool
Remaining unaware and foolish
Succumbing to my indecisive rule
Surrendering to indecision as a rule
Choice is pain
Emphasizing that making choices brings pain
Choice is bliss
Highlighting the bliss that choices can bring
Never take a step
Avoiding taking any risks or decisive actions
No leap of faith
Not daring to take a leap of faith
Always falling through
Consistently falling short of expectations
Never into place
Never finding a stable position
Mindlessly floating
Drifting aimlessly without purpose
While growing numb
Becoming emotionally numb while growing detached
To the world around
Ignoring the world around
Free yet always bound
Experiencing freedom but remaining constrained
The crushing weight
Reiterating the heavy burden of life's expectations
Of a life to lead
The weight of a purposeful life with no gain
Nothing gained
Experiencing no tangible benefits
no more sense of identity
Losing a sense of self and identity
