beauty in the breakdown
Finding Redemption: Embracing Imperfections in Life's Symphony
Lyrics
Yeah it wasn't the first time
The speaker has disappointed others before.
That I let everybody down
Expressing a feeling of letting down everyone.
I've been telling the worst lies
Admitting to telling serious lies or falsehoods.
I can't even change my tires
Difficulty performing basic tasks (like changing tires).
How am I gonna figure life out
Expressing confusion or uncertainty about life.
I wish I didn't wanna wake up
Wishing to avoid facing reality or responsibilities.
It's not as bad as it seems
Suggesting that things might not be as negative as they appear.
People only say what's
People speak only to offer comfort or assurance.
Gonna get you some sleep
Advice given to help someone rest or relax.
We take the love
We accept the love we believe we deserve.
That we think we deserve
When attempts to cope (like drugs) fail.
But when all of the drugs
Wondering about things that won't provide salvation.
Never work
Feeling trapped in a declining situation.
Wondering what I won't save you from
An old situation or memory that cannot be changed.
My fate is stuck on the decline
Similar to line 13, feeling stuck in a worsening situation.
Old tape that doesn't ever rewind
Referencing a past that cannot be revisited or altered.
Wondering what I won't save you from
Repeated sense of helplessness or inability to save someone.
Hell bound l'll wave on the way down
Feeling destined for a negative outcome (Hell bound).
I found love and beauty in the breakdown
Discovering love and beauty amidst hardship or failure.
Maybe if I stay we'll solve them
Hoping that staying will lead to problem resolution.
Seal your broken heart with tape
Trying to fix or conceal emotional pain.
I heard you dealt with all your problems
Observing someone dealing with their own issues.
I was drinking mine away
Using alcohol to cope with personal problems.
I don't know why I
Unsure of the reason behind physical discomfort (sore lungs).
Got these sore lungs
Feeling like one's story has reached its conclusion.
My story is done
Embracing and cherishing the present moment.
I've fallen in love with the moment
Reflecting on the passage of time as one grows older.
The older I get
Difficulty in forgetting the constant changes in life.
The more time that is fading
Admitting personal faults and past mistakes.
I can't forget
Similar to lines 12 and 17, contemplating inability to rescue someone.
The way life is always changing
Feeling trapped in a deteriorating situation.
And I hope you know that
Addressing change in personal identity over time.
I'm not the man that I once was
Acknowledging past errors and regrets.
I know I fucked up
Reiterating a sense of helplessness or inability to save someone.
Wondering what I won't save you from
Similar to lines 13 and 15, feeling trapped in a declining situation.
My fate is stuck on the decline
Reiterating a past that cannot be changed or undone.
Old tape that doesn't ever rewind
Repetitive sense of helplessness or inability to save someone.
Wondering what I won't save you from
Feeling destined for a negative outcome (Hell bound).
Hell bound l'll wave on the way down
Discovering love and beauty amidst hardship or failure.
I found love and beauty in the breakdown
Emphasizing finding beauty amid chaos or collapse.
