about

This song is about reflection of one's past mistakes,the consequences of such actions, and feeling doomed to forever repeat the cycle of error.

lyrics

Verse 1
I took it upon myself to make better ends.
Always looking for the path in my bend.
Getting lost no lessons learned, never try to cross 'til the bridge is burned.
Figured the mistakes that I made would serve me well until I find myself through a personal hell
Then I march back right back to the start, admit defeat.
'Till I fall again, repeat repeat.
Never think I'll pick myself back up. People round me say it's just bad luck
So I guess I shouldn't worry, everything will be fine. It's just a matter of time.

Chorus
Thought I had it all figured it out
Everyone expected more from me
But I was thrown a curve, a world full of hurt
It all changed so quickly.
It's funny how the things you thought were true
Change their colors right in front of you
But I will get by
persist and survive my existence fully

Verse 2
Go, run, despite the number of warning signs
just so you'll see, just so you'll see you're
walking a thin line, shed your paradigm
Did you not comprehend the first time? No No
You did not comprehend

Chorus
Thought I had it all figured it out
Everyone expected more from me
But I was thrown a curve, a world full of hurt
It all changed so quickly.
It's funny how the things you thought were true
Change their colors right in front of you
But I will get by
persist and survive my existence fully

Bridge
Is this the cost of freedom?
Will my choices decide the streets or a kingdom?
I must remove the lenses that have colored this life in rose too splendid
or am I doomed to restart the process?

Outro
Maybe all I'm going through is just an avenue
That I've gotta travel down to get where I want to
Maybe this is punishment for all the time I spent
Wasting my potential on things that aren't relevant.
