Moments
Dr. Randall Phillip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've seen the high, now you're at the lows
Let's talk about the low moments
Times when I'm feeling broken
Times when you're really hurting
Tell me why your head's spinning
I'll tell you why I always seem to be grieving
101 reasons yeah yeah
One minute I'll be fine and then the next I'm overthinking
Been a little crazy lately oh
Tell me do you zone out? Tell me what you think about
What kind of questions do you ask yourself?
I'm just tryna figure out
Whether I'm crazy
Whether I'm going insane
Maybe we're crazy, oh yeah
Been so high but now I'm low
Feelings can't choose between stop, wait or go
Welcome to my low moments people
Always reaching for the sky
Now I'm afraid I can't see any reason why
Welcome to the low moments people
Always looking left and right and seeing perfection
Thinking my oh my oh my
I said I've learnt my lesson
I'm done waiting
Done trying hard and failing
From jobs to friends to ways I feel
There's nothing that I'm gaining but this stress
Oh it's all a mess
Talking to the sky about the way my day went
Not always a good story
Usually a bad day
Sing along with me if you understand this deep pain
(Sing!)
Life just doesn't seem to like me right now
Doesn't seem to like me right now
Missing every single good day right now
Waiting for a big break right now
Been so high but now I'm low
Feelings can't choose between stop, wait or go
Welcome to my low moments people
Always reaching for the sky
Now I'm afraid I can't see any reason why
Welcome to the low moments people
Welcome to the
The low moments
Ohh
The lyrics to "Moments" by Dr. Randall Phillips explore the theme of low moments in life, when one feels broken, hurt, and overwhelmed. The song acknowledges the contrast between the highs and lows, inviting listeners to reflect on their own experiences of feeling lost and questioning their sanity.
The opening lines, "Welcome to the low moments, you've seen the high, now you're at the lows," set the tone for the song. It suggests that after experiencing moments of happiness and success, one inevitably encounters difficult times. The lyrics invite a conversation about these low moments, seeking to understand why the mind is spinning and why there seems to be a constant sense of grief.
The line "Can't keep up with the seasons" emphasizes the unpredictable nature of these emotional fluctuations, where one moment everything seems fine and the next, overthinking takes over. The feeling of being crazy or going insane is a recurring theme, questioning one's mental state in the midst of these ups and downs.
The chorus, "Been so high but now I'm low, feelings can't choose between stop, wait or go," captures the struggle of being caught between conflicting emotions and indecisiveness. The lyrics also touch on the pressure to always reach for the sky, to constantly strive for perfection, and the disappointment when that perfection seems unattainable.
"Moments" acknowledges the stress and messiness that comes with trying to navigate through difficult times. The song hints at seeking solace in talking to the sky, perhaps as a metaphor for searching for answers or seeking comfort in something bigger than oneself. The acknowledgment of a bad day is contrasted with the hope that someone else can relate and understand the deep pain being expressed.
Overall, "Moments" offers a relatable and introspective exploration of the low moments in life, capturing the struggles, doubts, and desires for things to improve.

@lucestrega6645
Why is it always the nicest people.. she seemed like she actually cared about her students and I always wanted a teacher like that . Rest in peace beautiful.
@NikkiC777
It sucks she wanted to make a difference in her students lives and now she can't do that. Nicer people probably are more trusting of other people and they try to reach out to others and help them. This opens them up to problems with bad people trying to take advantage of that.
@Michaelabeauty96
I agree she sounded like she really cared about her students and loved her job that’s why she wanted to reach out to students she saw could have issues there’s not many teachers like that

Because Evil searches out Good and it kills it.
