Part I
Droefheid / Gabe-Unruh Lyrics

Now the corner stores are boarded
The local convenience stores are closed and secured due to the current situation.

The reservoirs are overloaded
The water reservoirs are filled beyond their capacity, indicating a state of chaos or overwhelm.

I'm not ready for the storm yet
I am unprepared to face the challenges or difficulties that lie ahead.

I'm not ready for storm
I am not mentally or emotionally equipped to handle the chaos and turmoil.

Now everything is morbid
The current situation is filled with darkness, despair, and a sense of hopelessness.

This battle of the forces
There is a struggle or conflict between opposing powers or influences.

I wrote it all on purpose
I intentionally expressed my emotions and thoughts in a deliberate manner.

And then I lost it in the storm
However, my expression got lost or overshadowed amidst the chaos or turmoil.

And I'm packing up my bags now
I am preparing to leave or move on from this situation.

Gotta make it through somehow
I must find a way to survive or persevere despite the challenges.

Somehow
In some manner or by some means, I need to find a solution.

And I think I found the cause
I believe I have identified the underlying reason or source of the issue.

For all this latency
Resulting in delays or sluggishness in progress or communication.

Cause lately I can see
Because recently, I have gained insight or awareness.

You and me could be
There is a possibility of a connection or relationship between us.

Nah
No, that possibility or connection doesn't seem viable or likely.

Just gotta let it be now
I should accept the current situation and allow it to unfold without interference.

Yeah I need another rebound
I am seeking a new relationship or distraction to help me move on.

Just gotta let it breathe now
I need to allow some space and time for things to settle or resolve naturally.

I can't just wait and see now
I cannot simply passively wait for things to happen or unfold.

Can't get back up on that greyhound
I cannot return to my previous state of being or leave this place of uncertainty.

Cause it isn't going home now
Because there is no familiar or comforting resolution or destination available.

As I picked you out in the crowd
When I noticed you among the many people around us.

Looking cute and yelling loud
You appeared attractive and expressed yourself boldly or passionately.

Till the crowd scooped you up
Until the crowd took you away or claimed your attention.

Yeah I knew I had screwed up
I realized that I had made a mistake or missed an opportunity.

But so what
Regardless of the mistake, it doesn't matter or have a significant impact.

Should of said what I said
I should have expressed my true thoughts or feelings.

When I meant it
At the time when my words would have truly reflected my intentions.

Instead I tried shelf it
Instead, I attempted to hide or suppress my true feelings.

It's geocentric
This act of hiding or suppressing is egocentric or self-centered.

How I be so selfish
I am acknowledging my selfish behavior or mindset.

And I don't know god
I do not have a clear understanding or belief in a higher power.

But I know what it isn't
Despite my uncertainty, I can identify what is not considered as the divine.

We got people pulling so hard
There are individuals exerting immense effort or struggling.

To get back on track
They are attempting to regain stability or find a sense of direction.

That they broke they boots
Their boots broke due to the excessive force or strain applied.

And they broke the straps
Even the straps that hold their boots together could not withstand the pressure.

It's physically impossible really
In reality, it is not physically feasible or achievable.

I saw her on the sidewalk
I observed her presence while walking on the pavement or street.

She thought that time would heal
She believed that the passage of time would bring about healing or resolution.

But depression follows her around
However, depression continues to persistently affect her life.

Like a blister on her heel
Similar to a painful blister on one's foot, depression causes ongoing discomfort or pain.

And running from it makes it worse
Attempting to avoid or escape from depression only intensifies the negative effects.

Running only makes it worse
Engaging in activities or distractions to evade depression exacerbates the situation.

Well sometimes I wish
Occasionally, I desire or hope for something.

I could pray for those in danger
I wish I had the ability to offer prayers and support for those facing peril.

But if you don't believe in god
However, if you lack belief in a higher power or deity,

You gotta be the angel
You must step up and take on the role of the angel, providing aid and guidance.

I'm calling on an angel
I am in need of assistance or intervention from a benevolent entity.

And I've been praying to the sun
Metaphorically, I have been seeking guidance or blessings from nature's powerful source, the sun.

For giving me life
Grateful for the gift of life and existence.

For giving me love
Appreciative of the experience of love in my life.

For giving me light
Thankful for illumination or enlightenment.

For rising above
Acknowledging the sun's ability to transcend and overcome darkness or obstacles.

For giving me sight
Expressing gratitude for the sense of sight and perception.

For giving me a chance
Recognizing the opportunities that life has provided.

Forgiving me a mic
Being grateful for the ability to express oneself through music or performance.

But I'm tired of the tv screen
I am weary or fed up with the constant exposure to television or media.

So just plug me in and show me things
Instead, please connect me to experiences or knowledge that expand my understanding.
