ON ONE
Navigating Inner Battles: ON ONE by WHATEVER WE ARE
Lyrics
What do you do when you can't take the help from what helps you
Contemplating what to do when unable to seek help from the usual sources.
When you can't meet the standard that you're held to
Unable to meet the expected standards set for oneself.
When you can't take the words that they tell you
Difficulty accepting the advice or words offered by others.
I guess you fall right back to the start
Returning to the beginning or a starting point.
Cuz keeping to myself causing problems
Keeping personal issues to oneself, causing problems.
They ask about my own like they ain't got none
Others inquire about personal matters as if they have none themselves.
And even though the whiskey can't solve em
Despite alcohol not being a solution, the speaker finds a way to pick themselves up.
I'm picked back up now I'm on one
Recovered and feeling confident or elevated.
I'm picked back up now I'm on one
-Sometimes, I runaway to a vibe, a happy place I can hide, where I'm on one for the night
Escaping to a happy place to cope with life's challenges for a temporary reprieve.
What do you do when your stuck all alone in your own way
Feeling isolated and obstructed by one's own actions.
Shutting people out because they all say
Isolating oneself due to negative remarks from others.
The words you never wanna to hear and
Avoiding hearing unwelcome advice or words.
All that practical advice so I smile at the ones who don't know me
Putting on a facade of happiness for those who are unaware of the speaker's true feelings.
It's gotten easy to pretend that I'm happy
It has become easy to pretend to be happy despite internal struggles.
It's a daily battle with my mind somedays I can't stand to fight
A daily internal struggle that becomes overwhelming on some days.
Now keeping to myself causing problems
Keeping personal issues to oneself, causing problems for the speaker.
They ask about my own like they ain't got none
Others inquire about personal matters as if they have none themselves.
And even though the whiskey can't solve em
Despite alcohol not being a solution, the speaker finds a way to pick themselves up.
I'm picked back up now I'm on one
Recovered and feeling confident or elevated again.
I'm picked back up now I'm on one
-Sometimes, I runaway to a vibe, a happy place I can hide, where I'm on one for the night
Escaping to a happy place to cope with life's challenges for a temporary reprieve.
What do you do when the truth hurts more than anything
Dealing with the pain when the truth is more hurtful than anything else.
When you wake up hating everything
Waking up with a deep sense of dislike or hatred for everything.
When you don't land where you're meant to be
Falling short of reaching one's intended destination or purpose.
You fall right back to the start
Returning to the beginning or a starting point due to the inability to land where intended.
Stuck in your own head again
Struggling with internal battles, numbness, and the overwhelming weight of pain.
Numbing all the heaviness
-When the pain outweighs all the love
-You once felt in your heart
-Now keeping to myself causing problems
Keeping personal issues to oneself, causing problems for the speaker.
They ask about my own like they ain't got none
Others inquire about personal matters as if they have none themselves.
And even though the whiskey can't solve em
Despite alcohol not being a solution, the speaker finds a way to pick themselves up.
I'm picked back up now I'm on one
Recovered and feeling confident or elevated again.
I'm picked back up now I'm on one
-Sometimes, I runaway to a vibe, a happy place I can hide, where I'm on one for the night
Continuing the theme of seeking refuge in a happy place to escape life's challenges temporarily.
Sometimes, I runaway to a vibe, a happy place I can hide, I can hide
