Christmas On Ward #7
Chris Flew Lyrics

Someone change the picture
Requesting a change, a shift in environment or atmosphere in order to move on from something.

Collapsed below a tree
Feeling defeated, worn out, and hopeless.

The shadow of a person I used to want to be
Reflecting on a past version of oneself that was admired and desired, but no longer exists.

Calling out for somebody, but I can't even speak
Feeling alone and helpless, unable to communicate or express oneself to others.

The irony of drunkenness
The strange and paradoxical effects of alcohol consumption; it can make you feel more free and happy, but can also lead to confusion and sadness.

And I think it's time for leaving
Recognizing the need for change and a new beginning.

The club is where we'll win
Feeling like going out, socializing, and having fun is what will bring happiness and success.

Holding hands together
The desire for intimacy, connection, and companionship.

I think we'll still get in
Optimism and hope for the future.

And we'll dance to songs we know
Finding comfort and joy in familiar and nostalgic experiences.

But dancing's growing old
Realizing that old habits and routines are no longer satisfying or fulfilling.

The epitome of loneliness
Feeling the deepest and most intense level of isolation and detachment from others.

And I didn't see the Christmas lights
Missing out on the light and joy of the holiday season due to personal struggles and challenges.

As I flipped upside my head
Feeling disoriented, confused, and overwhelmed by one's own thoughts and emotions.

Losing ground in battles I fight only with myself
Struggling with internal conflicts and self-doubt that hinder progress and growth.

I'm holding onto next year
Hoping for a fresh start and a better future.

And praying that it comes real soon
Desperately wishing and hoping for positive change and relief from present hardships.

In the three months since you left here
Reflecting on a significant loss or change that has deeply affected one's life.

I've been a total mess
Feeling overwhelmed, emotional, and unbalanced due to past events and present struggles.

Walking round in circles
Feeling stuck and in a perpetual state of aimlessness or confusion.

Trying to regress to a time when I was happier
Attempting to escape present pain and hardship by longing for a past time when life was easier and more enjoyable.

A time I was with you
Thinking back on a specific person or relationship that brought joy and comfort in the past.

But there's no windows in this room
Feeling trapped, isolated, and without hope or escape.

And I'm screaming at these walls
Feeling intense frustration and anger towards a situation that can't be changed or escaped.

While trying to tear them down
Trying to take control and create change in a situation that feels oppressive or unmanageable.

This suits too tight, I cannot breathe
Feeling constricted, suffocated, and uncomfortable in a situation or mindset that doesn't allow for growth or change.

I'm frozen in a frown
Feeling overwhelmed by negative emotions and unable to escape or change them.

But someone should be visiting at 4 o'clock or so
Anticipating the arrival of someone who may bring hope, comfort, or a new perspective.

I hope they bring a present
Desperately wishing and hoping for some kind of relief or positive change, no matter how small.

Fighting losing battles with the voices in my head
Struggling against negative self-talk and self-doubt that can be overwhelming and destructive.

I started seeing red
Feeling intense anger, frustration, and hopelessness towards present circumstances or oneself.
