Isolation
S.E.M;I Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Truth in that I can’t deny it
I’m trying to better myself
Trying to better the climate
You think I’m wanting to die
Truth is that I can’t explain it
I’m trying to learn for myself
Trying to better my timing
Alright
Yeah
Everything that I thought I had known
Going away and I’m back on my own
Thinking I’m needing some help
Knowing I’m needing the guidance
Oh lord
Please
I’ve been working on my lifestyle
Trynna run a mile in these warn out shoes
Trynna live a legacy
Im tortured by modesty
Just an expression
I’m waiting for payment
Been learning my lessons
I’m here and taking what I want
Not what i need
Practice makes perfect you know what I mean
I ain’t been flawless at least I been honest
I need to believe if I want to be seen
Forget where I’ve been if I want to be me
To get where I’ll be i just hav to be me
Think that Im choosing to lie
Truth in that I can’t deny it
I’m trying to better myself
Trying to better the climate
You think I’m wanting to die
Truth is that I can’t explain it
I’m trying to learn for myself
Trying to better my timing
Trying to better my timing
Trying to
Trying to
Trying to
See what was wrong with this life that I had
There’s too many pictures of past times it’s the last time
That I’ll ever submit
Admit to myself all the sins I commit
It’s like all of these shows that you see on the tv
It feels like a repeat
It’s sad but it’s true
But we’re back to the start
Trynna make up for my issues through art
But it’s truth and reality lost every day
Truthful anxiety feeling astray
And If Pain and dismay is enough on my page
I be waiting for brightness to light up the way
Waiting for happiness take all the pain
Think that Im choosing to lie
Truth in that I can’t deny it
I’m trying to better myself
Trying to better the climate
You think I’m wanting to die
Truth is that I can’t explain it
I’m trying to learn for myself
Trying to better my timing
Trying to better my timing
Alright
Yeah
Everything that I thought I had known
Going away and I’m back on my own
Thinking I’m needing some help
Knowing I’m needing the guidance
Oh lord
Please
