Sacrifices
Odd Sweetheart Lyrics

If you're wondering where I've been
Addressing the listener or perhaps oneself, acknowledging that there has been a period of absence or change.

I've been chasing myself down
Describing a state of constant motion without much direction or purpose.

I got way too far ahead of myself now
Realizing that one has overshot their goals or ambitions, and feeling overwhelmed or lost.

I got to slow things down
Recognizing the need for a change of pace or perspective, and seeking a way to regain control or clarity.

I've been setting aside my pleasures for aspirations
Prioritizing long-term goals and sacrifices over immediate gratification or enjoyment.

I've been setting aside my youth for the future
Trading in energetic or carefree experiences in hopes of a more secure or successful future.

Am I wasting all my time
Questioning whether or not the decisions being made are ultimately worthwhile or impactful.

This can't be right
Feeling a sense of unease or dissatisfaction with the current path, but unsure of how to proceed.

Feels like I'm wasting
Expressing a strong emotions of frustration or failure in regards to the sacrifices being made.

My life
Summing up the overall sense of uncertainty and disappointment with the current state of things.

I've been wondering what I'm doing
Reflecting on the broader implications of one's sacrifices and long-term goals.

Running down this blind street
Feeling lost, hopeless, or misguided in regards to one's path or future prospects.

Already got to the end
Realizing that there may not be a clear destination, or that the journey itself may be the only meaningful part.

I'm still running
Despite the above doubts and uncertainties, continuing to persevere or strive for an unknown end goal.

I know what I want
Feeling confident in one's overall goals or aspirations, but perhaps unsure of the specifics or how to achieve them.

But what do I need?
Questioning whether or not these desires or ambitions are truly necessary or fulfilling, or if there are other, more important priorities to consider.

Pushed my friends away for the end
Acknowledging the cost of pursuing goals or ambitions over maintaining close relationships or personal connections.
