Things Are Looking Up
Classified Lyrics

Look, I'm hangin by the end of my rope
I am struggling and barely holding on

Feelin defensive and broke, with no intention to cope
I feel vulnerable, broke, and unable to handle my problems

When the weather is cold and the adrenaline flows
During difficult times, I feel nervous and stressed

And everything is lookin down (hey!), there's no mention of hope (ho!)
When everything appears negative, it's hard to remain optimistic

It's hard to get away, so we tend to be prone
It's challenging to escape from problems, and we may be susceptible to negative thinking

And the world seems depressed, so when your in Rome, I guess
The world can seem bleak, and it might feel like there's nothing we can do

I gotta keep the engine afloat
I need to stay positive and keep going

And when the water leaks in, don't abandon the boat
Even when problems arise, don't give up

And yes, soon the depression will fold
Depression won't last forever

It's a battle and ya gotta choose your weapon to hold (ha)
Life is a fight, and you need to choose how you approach it

I figured that we've learned from the lessons of old
We can learn from our past mistakes

It ain't over 'til we meet up at the end of the road
Success isn't for sure until we reach the end of the journey

Yeah we destined to grow, so remember control
We are meant to mature and evolve, so we must maintain self-control

A bit of patience can work as a friend or a foe
Patience can be beneficial or a hindrance

I'm lettin it out, so I don't bottle it in
I am expressing my emotions so that I don't suppress them

I'm puttin up, things are looking down, no not again
I'm persevering, even though things seem bleak once more

I've seen the sun come up today
I woke up today

It's hard to keep a smile on my face sometimes
Sometimes, it's challenging to remain positive

I know that we can find a way
I believe there's a solution

To forget those little things that stop us
To let go of minor obstacles

And push on through the rain and the sun will shine
If we persist, we'll overcome challenges and experience happiness

'Cause hope will only get you so far
Hope can't solve every problem

Have a plan and know where your friends are
It's essential to have a strategy and support system

If you leave your town just to find your place
If you search elsewhere for fulfillment, you may not find it

And run from things you find you can't escape
Trying to avoid things can be futile

You can find what it is you see
You can discover what you're searching for

Take it day by day, take it week by week
Handle things gradually, one step at a time

Just push on 'cause when things get rough
Keep going even when it's challenging

No head down, things are looking up (things are looking up...)
Don't give up hope; remain optimistic

Yeah, we do that feel good music
We make positive, motivating music

So feel good to it, it's the fuel to get through it
Listen to our music to feel uplifted and motivated

Problems Houston but we are only human
We all face difficulties, but that's part of being human

So air out and deal with the heat when it's humid (yeah)
Be honest about your emotions and handle challenges when they occur

I'm lost on a path that is mapped out (ha)
I feel confused about the direction of my life

On the mat, thinkin maybe I should tap out (yeah)
I'm feeling defeated and considering giving up

But in time the anxiety will pass slow
Anxiety will eventually dissipate

I use to worry but now it makes me laugh though (huh)
I used to get anxious, but now I find it amusing

Fuck it I'll be blunt
I'll be straightforward

I'm sure we all thought about suicide once
Many of us have considered suicide at least once

I know I did but I never made the cut
I thought about it but never attempted it

I guess I never had the guts or wasn't selfish enough
I either didn't have the courage or didn't want to hurt others that much

We push on every day that's just how life is
We persevere despite difficulties because that's how life is

Until things are looking up like gas prices
We'll keep pushing until things improve

It's ironic, the irony is clever
The situation is paradoxical and clever

But once you hit the bottom it can only get better
Once you've experienced rock bottom, things can only improve

I know that there will be a day
I'm aware that there will be a day when things get better

Or two that come as a surprise
There may be surprising moments that boost my mood

But things will seem way to, good to be true
I may be skeptical of good things that happen

I just know there's another way
I believe there's a different solution

To clear a path through all that stops you
To overcome the obstacles that hinder progress

With nothin in the way, there's nothin to lose
Once the obstacles are removed, nothing can stop progress

I don't know what it is these days
I'm uncertain about what's been bothering me lately

I seem to spend them in a daze
I feel unfocused, maybe due to stress

I got plans that are hard to keep
I have goals that are challenging to achieve

And lately man, well, I don't get no sleep
Lately, I haven't been sleeping much

I can find everything I need
I know what I need to do

Take it day by day, take it week by week
Handle things gradually, one step at a time

Have a drink, maybe have a puff
Maybe have a drink or smoke to relax

And don't look down, things are looking up
Stay positive and hopeful.
