Journey
Major and the Fire Lyrics

I've met the devil and shook his hand
I have experienced the worst of life and made choices that have led me to dark places at times.

Did what I had to just to regain command
Despite the struggles I've had, I've done what I needed to in order to regain control of my life and my future.

The rise, the fall but I will never crawl while dealing with the weight of a thousand mistakes
Life has had its ups and downs, but I refuse to be defeated and give up, even when weighted down by the consequences of my past mistakes.

Have you ever felt a loop that only plays inside your head?
Have you ever been trapped in a cycle of thoughts that seem to never change or resolve themselves, leaving you feeling stuck?

Convinced you have it figured out but scared of what comes next
Despite thinking I know what I'm doing, I still feel scared and uncertain about what the future holds for me.

I've seen too much
I've experienced too much in my lifetime and have been exposed to things that have altered my perspective forever.

My mind can't face itself and what it hides
Sometimes I can't even come to terms with my own thoughts and emotions, and facing them head-on can be difficult and overwhelming.

Woah at the edge of my mind
I'm at a point in my life where I'm on the cusp of change and it feels like I'm teetering on the brink of something significant.

Woah wonder what I will find
I'm both excited and uncertain about what awaits me in the future and what I will discover about myself along the way.

The outline dissolves
Sometimes what we think we know and understand begins to blur and fade away, leaving us feeling lost and uncertain.

The color fades away
The vibrant, colorful parts of life can sometimes dull and fade over time, especially when one is faced with adversity and struggle.

The borders you live by have no shades of grey
The rules and boundaries we set for ourselves in life are often black and white, with no room for compromises or exceptions.

If you look into the mirror you'll find out it isn't you
Sometimes the person we see in the mirror doesn't accurately reflect who we are or who we want to be, and we must make changes in order to become our true selves.

No way out when your consciousness has nothing left to lose
When one feels like they've hit rock bottom and there is nothing left to lose, it can be difficult to find a way out of the darkness and get back on track.

Trapped in this endless cycle, feeling endless motion
When we feel stuck in the same routine or way of life, it can feel like we're just going through the motions and not really living at all.

Never question karma, caught in my emotions
I believe in the concept of karma, but when I'm caught up in my own emotions and difficulties, it's hard to see how my actions and choices will ultimately affect my future.

Right?
This rhetorical question is used as a way to emphasize and connect the themes present throughout the song.
