Instinct
Josh Cashman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Becoming my own enemy
Time to practice all my remedies
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Discovered theres no easy way
I'll be the only source to feed my faith
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Define me for my ways
My happiness is your disgrace
I make friends of the darkest oceans to accommodate the tides
Remind me of my sins
My comfort lies within
I'm healing all these broken choices to carry on with the wind
Carry on
Lift me up to feed my instinct
Lift me up to be
free
I'm not looking for an easy exit
I'm just trying to make it easier on me
In the song Instinct by Josh Cashman, the lyrics explore the theme of self-reflection and resilience. The opening lines, "I got the better of me, becoming my own enemy," suggest that the singer has lost control of their inner thoughts and emotions. However, the following lines indicate that the singer is aware of their struggles and is determined to overcome them by practicing remedies to improve their mental health. The phrase "I'll be the only source to feed my faith" implies that the singer has faith in themselves and their ability to improve their situation.
The chorus of the song, with its repeating "Oh, oh, oh" sounds, provides a catchy and uplifting vibe that further reinforces the theme of resilience. The phrase "define me for my ways, my happiness is your disgrace" suggests that the singer has faced judgment or criticism from others for their actions, but they prioritize their own happiness over external opinions. The lines "I make friends of the darkest oceans to accommodate the tides, remind me of my sins, my comfort lies within" suggest that the singer has learned to find comfort and solace in unlikely places, including analyzing their own mistakes.
Overall, the song provides an empowering message for anyone struggling with self-doubt and negativity. It suggests that the path to self-improvement begins with self-awareness and the willingness to make changes, and ultimately culminates in finding inner peace and resilience.
