These Times
SafetySuit Lyrics

These times will try hard to define me
Difficult times will test me in various ways and may attempt to shape my identity.

And I'll try to hold my head up high
I will strive to maintain a positive attitude and persevere through challenging circumstances.

But I've seen despair here from the inside
I have witnessed and experienced hopelessness on a personal level.

And it's got a one track mind
Despair can be all-consuming and overpowering in its effects.

And I have this feeling in my gut now
I have a strong intuitive sense or premonition.

And I don't know what it is I'll find
I am uncertain about what the future holds or what outcomes my efforts will produce.

Does anybody ever feel like,
Is there anyone else who experiences the following sentiment?

You're always one step behind?
Do you ever feel like you are consistently lagging behind or unable to keep up?

Now I'm sitting alone here in my bed
Currently, I am alone and in a state of rest or repose in my sleeping quarters.

I'm waiting for an answer I don't know that I'll get
I am anticipating a response or resolution that may or may not come to fruition.

I cannot stand to look in the mirror
I despise the reflection I see of myself when I observe my appearance.

I'm failing
I am not succeeding in my endeavors or meeting my expectations.

But they will
Despite the hardships, I will persist and endure through these challenging times.

And I know there's someone out there somewhere
I am aware that there are individuals who are experiencing even greater struggles at present.

Who has it much worse than I do
There are those who are undergoing more severe or intense difficulties compared to my own situation.

But I have a dream inside, a perfect life
I possess an inner aspiration for an ideal existence, free from hardship or turmoil.

I'd give anything just to work
I am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve my goals and overcome the obstacles in my path.

It's like I'm only trynna dig my way out
It feels as though my focus is exclusively on trying to extricate myself from the current situation.

Of all these thing I can't
I am dealing with numerous issues or problems that seem insurmountable.

And I am
I exist and occupy space and time in the present.

But they will pass,
These challenging times will eventually come to an end and subside.

And I know there's a reason
I am certain that there is a purpose or underlying rationale for my current struggles.

I just keep hoping it wont be long til I see it
My persistent expectation is that the justification or explanation for my hardships will soon become apparent.

And maybe if we throw up our hands and believe it!
Perhaps if we surrender ourselves to faith or trust, we will experience a breakthrough or positive outcome in our lives.

These times are hard
The present circumstances I am facing are extremely arduous and challenging.

But they will pass
However, these difficulties will not last indefinitely and will eventually dissipate over time.

They will pass
Difficult circumstances will subside, and my situation will get better ultimately.

These times are hard
Although I am struggling through immensely tough periods, I am resolute and persevering.

But they will pass
I am certain that, in due time, these bleak circumstances and trials will come to an end and give way to a brighter future.

These times will try hard to define me
Despite the immense difficulties that I am facing, I refuse to succumb to despair and remain resolved in my determination.

But I will hold my head up high
I choose to maintain a sense of pride and dignity in myself, even amid the struggles and setbacks I may encounter.
