Lipona Lyrics

Frozen in a frame of time
Feeling stuck and unable to progress

My state of mind is going blind
Mental deterioration caused by stagnation and complacency

From staring out to see the light
Longing for a better future outside of current circumstances

Beyond my recognition
Something has changed beyond what was expected or familiar

This is the way it's always been
Life has been stagnant and unchanging for far too long

A bastard child that's almost kin
Feeling out of place and unwelcome among familiar surroundings

I never had the faith that this
Lacking confidence or belief in one's own abilities

Was my product to start off with
Struggling to take ownership of one's own life and decisions

Now you've taken the role as a leech
Feeling drained and used up by someone else's demands or expectations

As we speak, you're feeding off of me
The other person is actively taking advantage of the situation and draining resources

Though it could also be
Acknowledging the other person's influence, but also taking responsibility for one's own passive involvement

A sense of reliance and defiance
Torn between dependency and resistance

A cocktail of many things that in turn poison me
Feeling overwhelmed and consumed by a toxic situation

Wait 'til you hear what I've done
Giving a warning that something drastic has occurred

I've caused a storm to destroy everything that I have become
Deliberately letting go of everything that one has built up over time, even though it may be painful or destructive

Well, I was looking forward to my life
Anticipating a brighter, more fulfilling future

Looking forward to survive
Hopeful that one will overcome current challenges and hardships

Looking forward to shake off this dead skin that's been plaguing me
Eager to shed old habits and beliefs that have hindered personal growth

I'm in love with adversity
Thriving on challenges and setbacks

Yeah, I'm in love with defeat
Enjoying the feeling of being underestimated and proving others wrong

Just tie the knot, but don't sign the pre-nup
Committing to a relationship or situation without thinking about the consequences or long-term implications

You've been taking this way overboard
The other person has gone too far in their demands or expectations

These days we know
The current state of affairs is familiar and predictable

They're so far away, so far away
The future seems distant and uncertain

These nights remain
Despite everything, the present moment still persists

But I'll just fade away, I'll fade away
Slowly disappearing and losing oneself in the midst of overwhelming circumstances

Same old story that I've heard
Familiar patterns and cycles that lead nowhere

The only one that I've preferred
Habits or beliefs that are comfortable, but ultimately unfulfilling

is written somewhere that decides
The decision-making process is guided by external factors, rather than internal desires or values

The future steps I'm taking
Uncertainty and confusion about what comes next

This could my prerogative
The possibility of actively choosing a different path

For wasting time in all these things
Regret over not taking more risks or making more proactive choices

I'm standing still, I'm fruitless as I'm following desire
Stagnation and lack of progress due to a focus on personal wants rather than broader goals or priorities

Just leave me here, to sit and think
Preferring isolation and introspection over external distractions or demands

of all of the things that I've done wrong
Reflecting on past mistakes and learning from them
