Today
Mr. Stylus Lyrics

One last wave at my favorite harbor
I said goodbye to a familiar place that holds many cherished memories.

And smells I didn’t know I would forget
I didn't realize that I would one day forget the distinct scents of this place.

One step towards such a blurry future
My future is uncertain and unclear, and taking even one step feels daunting.

A mind full of colors not painted yet
My mind is full of endless possibilities and opportunities that have yet to be explored.

Summer ended and we got thrown away
Summer may be over, but the memories and experiences it brought will stay with me.

I sat on the couch and I had to yearn
I sat and longed for the familiar comforts of my past.

Our place that was half-empty that day
The place that was once full of life and activity is now quiet and half-empty.

That watched me grow and learn and cry and burn
This place has witnessed my growth, my pain, and my triumphs over the years.

And there wasn’t a today, and barely a yesterday
Time feels disjointed and disconnected, and it's hard to keep track of the days.

And nothing in these paths would lead me to myself
Despite the unknown future and uncertainty of the present, I know that I am capable of finding my own way.

I knew there was a tomorrow, even if time stretched so hard
I have faith that the future will come, even if it feels like it's far away or uncertain.

It would take 10 years to come but in the end, it would come
Even if it takes a long time, the future will eventually arrive and unfold.

A princess in a new room tries to run
A young person in a new place tries to escape the pressure and expectations they feel.

From a queen who’s singing a different tune
They feel trapped and misunderstood, unable to connect with the authority figures in their life.

Wrapped in red under an earlier sun
They feel suffocated and overwhelmed, like they are trapped in a situation that is too intense.

Wish to remember her favorite perfume
They long for the familiar and comforting scents of their past.

Got stuck in my room that was kind of blue
I feel stuck and trapped in my current situation, which is depressing and demoralizing.

Cause I wanted it like the older one
I long for the comfort and familiarity of the past, and try to recreate it in my current situation.

Walking on a road that just felt so new
I am embarking on a new journey or path that is unfamiliar and untested.

Reaching for these things I had never won
I am striving to achieve new goals and overcome challenges that I have never faced before.

And then I found my way, and I could tame the road
Eventually, I found my own way and overcame the challenges of the road ahead.

And there would be many other flavors to come
I know that there will be many new experiences, challenges, and joys that await me in the future.

And other colors I could paint in different forms
I am capable of exploring new passions, talents, and opportunities in different ways than I ever thought possible.

And I would find older pains I tried to conceal
As I grow and change, I also have to confront past hurts and pain that I had tried to bury or ignore.

Along with these new ones that I would learn to heal
But I also know that I am capable of healing from those past hurts, as well as new ones that may come my way in the future.
