put on a face
Unmasking Shadows: Zach Siegz's Poignant Reflection on Life's Struggles
Lyrics
I hope I can live up to all that I want before i'm gone
I aspire to fulfill all my desires before my time ends.
I put on a face on the outside but i'm not strong
I present a facade to the world, concealing my inner vulnerability.
They like me at first give em a couple months it won't take long
Initially, people like me, but over time, they discover my true struggles.
Puttin' a face on
Wearing a metaphorical mask to hide my true emotions.
Puttin' a face on
Continuing to put on a facade despite inner weaknesses.
Ran away from all my problems
Avoiding and escaping from challenges and difficulties.
Never faced em
Avoiding confrontation and not addressing problems.
Couldn't solve em
Unable to find solutions to problems.
Now it's built up it's all gonna topple
Consequences are accumulating and are on the verge of collapse.
No escape from the demons who caused em
Trapped with the consequences caused by inner demons.
All my memories as a kid they start to fade
Childhood memories are fading away.
Can't remember who I was it's hard to say
Struggling to remember my true identity from childhood.
All I wanted was to live it's hard to stay
Desire to live is overshadowed by the difficulty of maintaining that desire.
It's hard to stay
Emphasizing the ongoing struggle to persevere.
But i'm still here
Despite challenges, I am still present and enduring.
The old me would hate that i'm still poppin' the pills here
The previous version of myself would disapprove of my reliance on pills.
But everybody fake, at least i'm keepin' it real here
Acknowledging the prevalence of inauthenticity in others but maintaining personal authenticity.
I'm so numb, I just wanna feel here
Feeling emotionally numb and yearning for a genuine connection.
I hope I can live up to all that I want before i'm gone
Reiterating the desire to achieve personal goals before departure.
I put on a face on the outside but i'm not strong
Presenting a false exterior despite inner emotional fragility.
They like me at first give em a couple months it won't take long
Expecting people to like me initially, but anticipating their eventual realization of my struggles.
Puttin' a face on
Continuing to wear a metaphorical mask to conceal vulnerabilities.
Puttin' a face on
Continuing the act of presenting a facade to the world.
