Disarray

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've faced my demons
Wrestled these angels to the ground
And all that I could find
Was a thin line between
All the saints and villains
It was crossed in my own eyes

Someday I'm gonna find it

Wish I knew what I was looking for
Inside the disarray (The disarray)
I woke up this morning
Don't know where I'm going
But it's alright
I wouldn't have it any other way

I'm struggling between the facts and fiction
I'm alone
But I'm alive
Everyone around me is trying to make a statement, then there's me
I'm just trying to survive

Someday I'm gonna find it
Wish I knew what I was looking for
Inside the disarray (The disarray)
I woke up this morning
Don't know where I'm going
But it's alright
I wouldn't have it any other way

If this was any other day
I pretend to know where I stand
I just don't know (Just don't know)
I just don't know

Someday I'm gonna find it
Wish I knew what I was looking for
Inside the disarray (The disarray)
I woke up this morning
Don't know where I'm going
But it's alright
I wouldn't have it any other way

Someday I will find it
Wish I knew what I was looking for
Inside the disarray (Inside the disarray)
I woke up this morning

Don't know where I'm going
But it's alright

He has come to terms with the disarray, making peace with the fact that he does not know where he is going but finds solace in the journey itself. This song is about the struggles of finding oneself and the uncertainty that comes with it, but it's also about accepting the disarray and having the courage to face the unknown future.

I've faced my demons
I have confronted my innermost fears

Wrestled these angels to the ground
I have battled with my own conscience

And all that I could find
Despite my efforts to overcome these challenges

Was a thin line between
I discovered a narrow boundary that separates

All the saints and villains
Good and evil, right and wrong

It was crossed in my own eyes
Which was determined by my own perception

Someday I'm gonna find it
One day, I will come to understand

Wish I knew what I was looking for
I hope to identify what I am seeking

Inside the disarray (The disarray)
Within the chaos and confusion

I woke up this morning
I started a new day

Don't know where I'm going
I am uncertain about my destination
