311 Lyrics

You could lose your mind
One's mental state is fragile and vulnerable to losing control.

easier than you would like to think
Losing control of one's own mind can happen unexpectedly and rapidly.

your best friend could up and leave you
People can change and leave abruptly, even those closest to you.

playing tricks and cold deceive you
The mind is capable of deceiving itself and creating illusions.

standing there people stare
Others may notice when one is struggling with their own mind and thoughts.

let down by your own mind
One can feel betrayed by their own mind when it fails them or leads them astray.

Day of appreciation
A day to recognize and be grateful for the times one's mind did not let them down.

for ways your mind has not yet let you down
Acknowledging and being thankful for the moments when one's mind has been reliable and stable.

the truth is that we will all go
Death is inevitable for everyone, regardless of their individual experiences or struggles.

maybe five minutes after the show
One's life can end suddenly and without warning, just like the end of a performance.

you know you are a shooting star
Life is brief and fleeting, like a shooting star in the night sky.

a blazing flash then gone
Life is a brief moment of brightness, followed by inevitable extinction.

Are we advancing
Questioning whether humanity is moving forward or stagnating.

or a collapsing visionary
Wondering if innovative thinkers are leading to progress or leading to societal collapse.

are we really here
Questioning the true nature of existence and reality.

are we imaginary
Questioning whether everything we experience is just a figment of our imaginations.

as my thoughts separates
The mind can fragment and separate into different parts, causing confusion and disorientation.

into the many frayed parts
Mental fragmentation can lead to a sense of disarray and dysfunction.

torn shattered bits
The mind can become fragmented and broken, causing difficulty in processing information and emotions.

my mind falling apart
The collapse of one's mental state can cause distress and instability in their life.

What if there was such a thing
Considering the possibility of a day to celebrate things that have gone well in one's life.

what if there's such a thing as dependence day
Wondering if it would be beneficial to have a day to be thankful for the support and help others provide.

there's no self congratulation
The purpose of such a day would not be for self-glorification or personal achievement.

just a day of appreciation
A day to recognize and be grateful for the positive aspects of one's life.

quietly humbly
Celebrating the good in one's life with humility and modesty.

for things that have not gone wrong
Being grateful for the things in life that have gone right or have been positive.

Imagine the frustration
The difficulty and annoyance that comes with feeling lost or confused mentally.

of losing bearing of the simplest thing
When one's mental state becomes foggy, even the simplest tasks can become difficult or impossible to perform.

so come with your best
Trying one's best to function and perform despite the mental struggles they may be experiencing.

and do your worst before
Making the most of the time one has left before potentially losing out on the ability to enjoy life due to their mental state.

you can't remember what you came for
When one's mental state has deteriorated to a certain point, they can't even recall what their original goal or intention was.

Blazing out the mains
The act of burning brightly and intensely, but not lasting long before burning out completely.

hungry flames consume all that I see
The intense nature of mental struggle can feel consuming and overwhelming, like a fire burning and consuming everything in its path.
