limbo
A.M.T.B. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeling my hard work come undone
Became obsessed with empty stats
Gave my worth when you react
Wondering what on earth to change
When things before remained the same
Maybe I should let my mind,
Pick the route that made things right
What makes them stay
When I've poured my heart
And it all drains away
What should I do
Where should I go
When my effort is spent
And I'm still stuck in limbo
I can't remember how I left the ground
I can't remember how I found each sound
I felt alive with every song
Finally, I felt like I belonged
I wondered how far I would have to go
Blazing strong through the sun and snow
Building things that meant a lot
But somehow think that I forgot
When will they listen
What makes them stay
When I've poured my heart
And it all drains away
What should I do
Where should I go
When my effort is spent
And I'm still stuck in limbo
I tried to let my mind run wild
I tried to hide my appetite
My ambition is hard to hide
When what I've made is my whole life
In the song "Limbo" by A.M.T.B., the lyrics describe the feeling of being stuck in a place of uncertainty or limbo, despite putting in hard work and effort. The artist wonders what they need to change and questions why their efforts seem to be draining away. They reflect on a time when they felt alive with every song and belonged somewhere, but now feel forgotten. As they try to move forward by letting their mind run wild, they realize that their ambition is hard to hide when what they've created is their whole life.
The first verse speaks to the artist's frustration with feeling like they are not making progress, despite trying. They tap dials to see if they're stuck, a metaphor for trying to break through barriers. They feel like their hard work is coming undone and have become obsessed with empty stats, indicating a desire for external validation. The second verse describes a time when the artist felt like they belonged, but now wonder how far they need to go to regain that sense of purpose. The bridge of the song ponders on what to do or where to go when their efforts seem to have been spent and they are still stuck in limbo.
Overall, "Limbo" speaks to the universal struggle of feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward in life, especially in creative endeavors. The lyrics suggest that sometimes the best thing to do is to let your mind run wild and trust yourself to find the right path.

Tapping dials to see if they're stuck
Checking repeatedly for progress, but no luck
Feeling my hard work come undone
Unsuccessful efforts leaving me disappointed
Became obsessed with empty stats
Focused on superficial accomplishments that don't matter
Gave my worth when you react
Determined my value based on other people's responses
Wondering what on earth to change
Uncertain about what actions to take for improvement
When things before remained the same
Despite efforts, things haven't improved
Maybe I should let my mind,
Perhaps I should trust my instincts
Pick the route that made things right
Choose the path that led to success in the past
When will they listen
Why don't they hear me?
What makes them stay
What keeps them from moving forward?
When I've poured my heart
When I've given everything I have
And it all drains away
And it all seems to be for nothing
What should I do
What actions should I take?
Where should I go
What direction should I take?
When my effort is spent
After I've given it my all
And I'm still stuck in limbo
And I'm still in a state of uncertainty and stagnation
I can't remember how I left the ground
I don't recall how I achieved previous success
I can't remember how I found each sound
I don't remember how I created previous works
I felt alive with every song
Music brought me joy and fulfillment
Finally, I felt like I belonged
I found my place in the world through my art
I wondered how far I would have to go
I questioned how much further I needed to progress
Blazing strong through the sun and snow
Overcoming obstacles and persevering
Building things that meant a lot
Creating meaningful works
But somehow think that I forgot
But it seems like I've lost my way
I tried to let my mind run wild
I attempted to think freely and outside of the box
I tried to hide my appetite
I attempted to suppress my drive and passion
My ambition is hard to hide
My strong desire for success and accomplishment is difficult to conceal
When what I've made is my whole life
My work is everything to me
