Lyrics
So you put on a smile when you leave the house
Putting on a smile when leaving the house to avoid unwanted attention or questions.
To avoid being bothered, avoid being asked
Trying to evade being bothered or questioned by others.
And you tell yourself life could be worse
Telling oneself that life could be worse, despite silent struggles and difficulties.
Though we both know that won't stop your silent cries
Acknowledging that the positive perspective won't stop inner emotional pain.
As the days go by you slowly realise
Realizing over time that nothing is changing except the tears in one's eyes.
Nothing is changing except the tears in your eyes
Highlighting the stagnant nature of life, with tears being the only noticeable change.
But the more you search the less you find
Expressing the difficulty of finding solutions despite continuous searching.
Something that helps you to ease your mind
Desiring something that provides relief and ease for the troubled mind.
Now you don't know what else life will throw your way
Uncertainty about what challenges life will present in the future.
You're certain that there's not much more you can take
Feeling sure that the capacity to endure challenges is reaching its limit.
You hope for the best, but expect the worst
Balancing hope for the best with the expectation of the worst outcomes.
You've had your share of misleading trust
Having experienced betrayal and deception in relationships.
And I wonder and I wonder
Pondering and reflecting on personal struggles and challenges.
How hard it is to keep myself
Expressing the difficulty of self-preservation and maintaining mental well-being.
From going under, going under
Conveying the struggle of avoiding a downward spiral despite challenges.
Not able to see all the beauty that life
Being unable to appreciate the beauty in life due to personal struggles.
Is giving away for free
Noticing the abundance of free beauty in life but unable to fully perceive it.
Society's a letter, solidarity the words
Viewing society as a message, with solidarity as its essential content.
When you're running out of ink you know it's gonna hurt
Metaphorically describing the pain of running out of resources and its consequences.
We sent it off a long time ago
Questioning the delivery and reception of important messages in society.
Did it get lost in the mail? Well I don't know
Expressing uncertainty about the fate of messages sent and received.
But I feel like we all could need some good advice
Suggesting a collective need for valuable guidance and advice.
In darkest night how to handle our time
Reflecting on the challenges faced during difficult times.
Don't sell it too cheap, don't hold on too tight
Advising against undervaluing or clinging too tightly to time.
Well what do I know, just do what you like
Expressing uncertainty and humility, acknowledging limited knowledge.
And I wonder and I wonder
Repeating the contemplation of personal struggles and challenges.
How hard it is to keep myself
Reiterating the difficulty of self-preservation and mental well-being.
From going under, going under
Continuing to struggle against the downward pull of challenges.
Not able to see all the beauty that life
Reemphasizing the inability to fully appreciate life's beauty due to personal struggles.
Is giving away for free
Noting the abundance of free beauty in life, contrasting with personal struggles.
