Indecisión
Brendan Abernathy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up this morning
Threw my fist in a jealous rage
Opened to a Psalm of David on an earmarked page
Took a walk to the Tin Roof in the rain
Hoping to find some peace or apathy
But all I heard was the downfall of your name

How do I feel about my indecision, I
Can′t decide if it's bad or different now
There′s a fork in the road and I'm bound to take it, I've
Got a vision and the vision isn′t breaking down

And I′ve been losing sleep
Begging you to change her mind
And then you answer me
You said remember that time
When you were praying for clarity
And really you were just begging me to change your mind
Well I changed her mind

How do I feel about my indecision, I
Can't decide if it′s bad or different now
There's a fork in the road and I′m bound to take it, I've
Got a vision but the vision isn′t breaking down

You changed her mind
Will I ever leave my doubt
Will I ever leave my doubt

How do I feel about my indecision, I
Can't decide if it's bad or different now




There′s a fork in the road and I′m bound to take it, I've
Got a vision and the vision isn′t breaking down

From the lyrics, it seems that the singer is struggling with a decision, but they cannot decide whether their indecision is bad or different. They feel like there is a fork in the road, and they are bound to take it. They have a vision, and that vision is not breaking down. They have been losing sleep, begging the other person to change their mind. The other person then reminds the singer of a time when they were praying for clarity, but they were really just begging the other person to change their mind. In the end, the other person changed their mind, but the singer is still left with their indecision, wondering if they will ever leave their doubt behind.


Overall, the song seems to be about the difficulty of making decisions, and the weight of the emotional turmoil that can come with them.
