REACHING OUT
Ricky Smith Lyrics

Don't know what to do
Feeling lost and unsure of what action to take

Feeling alone again
Experiencing feelings of loneliness once more

So I called you
Reaching out to a specific person for comfort and support

Cause I'm sinking like a stone again
Feeling overwhelmed and helpless, unable to emerge from negative thoughts

Falling in the deep
Drowning in emotions and doubts

Swimming in the sea of
Being engulfed in a vast expanse of

My own questions
Pondering personal quandaries that lack answers

My own lessons been learned
Reflecting on the experiences and insights acquired over time

Bridges been burned
Having severed relationships or burned bridges with others

I couldn't turn to anyone
Feeling as though there is no one to seek help from

Down by the nigh
Feeling stuck in a difficult and dark place

Buried alive
Feeling trapped and buried alive in one's own thoughts and emotions

So I'm reaching out
Turning to someone for guidance and reassurance

I'm reaching out to you
Expressing a desire to connect with a specific individual

Lord knows, I'm reaching out
Acknowledging that only a higher power knows the depth of one's struggles and need for help

Cause there's nothing left to do
Having reached the end of the rope and seeing no other options

Oh I've run out of reasons
Having lost all the justification for continuing to hold on

To keep on believing
Trying to hold on to one's faith in a positive outcome

Yeah, it's true
Acknowledging a reality that is difficult to accept

And my heart is still bleeding
Continuing to feel the pain and grief from a past event

I know you don't need me
Believing that the recipient of the message doesn't feel the same need for the artist

But I need you
Expressing a deep personal need for the recipient of the message

Running in a dream
Chasing an elusive vision or idea that cannot be attained

Chasing after yesterday
Hoping to recapture or repair past events and experiences

But never miss a beat
Continuing to move forward despite setbacks and disappointments

Another broken record plays
Experiencing the same cycle of negative thoughts and emotions over and over again

I'm spinning from the sound
Feeling completely overwhelmed by the noise and chaos surrounding oneself

In the battleground of
Fighting an intense internal struggle with

My obsessions
Being consumed by thoughts or behavior patterns that are hard to break

(woaaaaaahhhhhhhh oh woaaaahhhh)
Expressing deep emotional pain and a yearning for help

It's gonna be a long night!
Anticipating a drawn-out, difficult journey

Waitin' out the fist fight
Waiting for the internal struggle to come to a resolution

Between a love and my heart
Being torn between a positive experience or idea and one's own conflicted emotions

In my head
Experiencing intense internal conflict and turmoil

Sitting with my demons
Confronting one's own negative thoughts and emotions head-on

Now that I can see them
Gaining the strength and courage to confront one's own internal struggles

Shouting out loud all the
Expressing and acknowledging one's own shortcomings and negative feelings

Things I said
Reflecting on past statements and potential mistakes
