Sara Paxton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One of those days I'm lingering, wondering...
One of those times I feel like I've never been so...
How can I get outta
This hole I'm sinking deep in.
I remind myself
It's only temporary
Gotta be a way up
I don't wanna stay down till I can't breath
Just remind me...
What if I try to
Run the other way
Will I remember who I was yesterday?
I don't believe that the voices in my head
They wanna pull me in but
I'm not that desperate yet.
I remind myself
It's only temporary
I will find myself... (yeah, yeah).
Gotta be a way up
I don't wanna stay down till I can't breath...
Underneath the weight inside my room is something beatiful for now...
I'll barely reach
I remind myself
It's only temporary
I will find myself... yeah, yeah
I'm stuck inside my own mind
It isn't necessary
I will find myself
I remind myself
It's only temporary
I'm right behind myself (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Gotta be a way up
I don't wanna stay down till I can't breath
Just remind me (the weight inside my room is something beautiful)
Just remind me...
One of those days I'm doubting everything
It's only temporary...
Sara Paxton's "Temporary" is a song about feeling lost and unsure of oneself, but ultimately finding the strength to push through and continue on. The lyrics depict the singer as experiencing a difficult day where she is "doubting everything" and feeling as if she is sinking into a hole. She then reminds herself that these feelings are temporary and that she will find herself again, despite the difficulties that she may face.
The song emphasizes the need to keep moving forward, even when things feel tough. The repeated phrase, "It's only temporary," serves as an anchor that keeps the singer focused on the fact that this too shall pass. The idea of self-reminding is central to the song, as the singer seeks to reassure herself that she is capable of overcoming whatever obstacles she may face.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of self-identity, with the singer questioning whether she will "remember who [she] was yesterday" if she tries to run from her problems. Ultimately, the song suggests that staying true to oneself and pushing through tough times is essential to finding inner strength and moving forward with confidence.
