Over My Head
Furslide Lyrics

I lost an island, in the ocean
I have lost something that was once precious to me, like an island lost in the vastness of the ocean.

The place where nickels come to gamble on their faces
This island was where people would take chances and risk their money, like gambling with nickels.

She took the offer, to be the daughter
Someone accepted an opportunity to be a part of a family or group.

We pledge allegiance to the one who offers social graces
We give our loyalty and devotion to someone who can provide us with manners and etiquette for social situations.

Please don't blame me
I am asking you not to hold me responsible for whatever has happened.

Cause I'm in over my head
I am overwhelmed with a situation that I may not be able to handle.

It's for the best
Despite the challenges and difficulties, everything will work out for the better in the end.

I ripped up the picture
I destroyed a photograph that held memories of the past.

The one in the kitchen
Perhaps the photograph was displayed in the kitchen, a place where memories and family connections are often made.

I looked weak
I felt vulnerable and exposed, like my weaknesses were on full display.

My eyes, they gave it all away
My emotions were easily read and understood by anyone looking at me.

I don't deny it
I am not denying the truth of the situation.

I still haven't found it
I am still searching for something, perhaps a sense of purpose or fulfillment.

I proudly wear the scars
I am not ashamed of my past struggles and the wounds that I carry.

I've challenged every crutch so far
I have faced many obstacles and have overcome them all without relying on any outside help or assistance.

And I'm in over my head
Once again, I find myself in a situation that is beyond my abilities or expertise.

It's for the best
But I trust that everything will work itself out in the end, and it will all be for the better.
