Getaway
Blake Shimoda & LARRY FURLOW Lyrics

Outside in the monsoon
Braving the stormy weather outside

Never been a stranger to the rain
Accustomed to facing challenges and hardships

Wet t-shirts in the closet
Holding onto past experiences and memories

But I just can't seem to throw them away
Feeling emotionally attached to those memories

Broke down for the moment
Feeling overwhelmed and emotionally drained

Try to know it won't last through the day
Seeking assurance that the difficult times will pass

Clouds cascade down on the mountain
Troubles and challenges descending upon them

If you don't trust you'll remember the way
Lacking trust and fearing losing their path

Soaked in all these memories
Being deeply affected by past experiences

If I fall don't catch me
Not expecting or relying on others for support

Fogging my headspace
Feeling mentally clouded and unclear

We could get away for the weekend
Escaping from daily responsibilities and routine

Only got 12 in a season
Limited opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment

I been feeling down in the recent
Experiencing recent bouts of sadness or depression

Burning me out need a reset
Feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted, seeking a fresh start

Tryna make time know that we spend
Attempting to prioritize and allocate time for what truly matters

Way too much on the things we need
Putting excessive focus and effort on material possessions

And the things we want
And desires that are not essential

But we don't make time for the things we love no, no
Neglecting to prioritize and invest time and energy in the things and people we truly love

Packed up I wait on it
Being prepared and ready for a change

Been a couple weeks put a little weight on it
Feeling the effects of time passing and the burden increasing

Cracked at the back put a little paint on it
Repairing and patching up past mistakes and flaws

If I get too close I can't get a bead on it
Feeling uncertain and unable to fully grasp or understand something

Throw dirt on my name
Defamation and criticism against their reputation

Getting turned in a wave
Being caught up and affected by a wave of negative events

Then you're turning away no
Others distancing themselves or losing faith in them

But you learn in a way
Gaining wisdom and growth through difficult experiences

Getting hurt in the same
Repeatedly getting hurt in similar ways

Then you burn it away
Coping with pain and letting go of negativity

Baby will you catch me when I fall
Seeking support and reassurance from a loved one

Lately, I've been living for the weekend
Finding solace and happiness in temporary escapes from daily life

And that isn't good at all
Recognizing the unhealthy reliance on weekends for fulfillment

Baby will you answer when I call
Desiring responsiveness and connection from a loved one

Even if it's 3 am I need you
Seeking support and companionship even during difficult times

And it's all love
Expressing affection and appreciation for the relationship

Maybe in my next life
Considering a hypothetical future where mistakes are avoided

I'll do everything just right
Ensuring perfect choices and actions in that future scenario

But in this one, I've made mistakes
Acknowledging past errors and flaws in the current life

And feel the guilt every night
Experiencing remorse and regret on a daily basis

I can't sleep but I'm tired
Struggling with insomnia despite feeling physically exhausted

I can't eat but I'm starving
Losing appetite and nutrition, yet craving something more fulfilling

Got a whole lot of demons
Dealing with personal inner struggles and demons

They keep me up when it's dark
Battling with thoughts and fears during the night

I tell myself tomorrow will be the day that I start
Holding onto hope and motivation for a fresh beginning

To take initiative
To proactively take action and responsibility

I'm ditching this shit, man, I don't need it
Rejecting and abandoning unnecessary burdens or negative influences

The sight of my purpose lost
Feeling lost and disconnected from one's sense of purpose

Right now I can't see it
Currently lacking clarity or direction

Cece can you see me
Seeking validation and recognition from someone named Cece

Imma need you to keep the light on
Requesting support and guidance to keep hope alive

And imma need a lot of paper
Desiring resources and opportunity to express oneself

Not to go and spend it, man, but to write on
Not intending to waste it, but to create and express through writing

Got red in my eyes, believing in lies
Being influenced by false beliefs and illusions

I tell myself and it's all wrong
Convincing oneself of something false or harmful

Come inside, see this side
Inviting someone to understand their perspective and struggles

We don't gotta stay long
Indicating a temporary visit or interaction

Tryna be the type of guy
Striving to become a certain kind of person

That you don't gotta wait on
Not wanting to make someone wait for their attention or support

Don't know what the next step is
Feeling uncertain about the next course of action

But I hope it's not back
Hoping that the next step isn't a regression or setback

Cause I been moving forward
Making progress and advancing in life

But I don't know where I'm at
Feeling lost or confused about their current position

And I been keeping steady
Maintaining consistency and stability

Hope I'm on the right track
Hoping that their efforts and choices are leading to success

I got these pills on my dresser
Having medication or substances for emotional support

And I got liquor in my system
Using alcohol as a coping mechanism

Now I'm getting messed up
Becoming intoxicated or overwhelmed

Interview in 30 minutes
Having a scheduled interview or important appointment soon

Now I gotta dress up
Preparing oneself for a professional appearance

I ain't feeling confident
Lacking self-assurance and feeling unsure

But gotta keep my chest up
Forcing oneself to maintain a positive and confident demeanor

Gotta keep the pressure on em
Maintaining high standards and expectations on oneself

I won't ever let up
Determined to persist and never give up

Mama told me work hard
Receiving advice from their mother to have a strong work ethic

Give the kids better
Striving to provide a better future for the next generation

Papa told me never steal work
Receiving advice from their father to always earn their success honestly

For your cheddar
Not resorting to dishonesty or unethical means for personal gain

Get knocked down
Facing obstacles or setbacks

Only thing to do is get up
Recognizing the resilience and determination to keep going
