So What
Space Mtn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My insides coming out
There is a thin layer filling these cracks
And it's made of doubt
But I can't doubt this
Not just yet
The good is much too great
There is a thin layer lining this cloud
So what do I do now?
So what if I don't know how?
So what do I do now?
So what
So I can't stand it
I'm gonna implode
My outsides coming in
There is a brick wall building itself
And it wants it all forgotten
But I can't forget, not just yet
The good is much too fine
There is a brick wall aiming to destroy
And sneak in a little sunshine
So what do I do now?
So what do I do now?
So what if I don't know how
So what
So what

I can't stand it, I'm gonna explode
My emotions are overwhelming and I feel like I will burst
My insides coming out
My true internal feelings are being revealed
There is a thin layer filling these cracks
I am trying to keep it together with a fragile barrier of hope
And it's made of doubt
But I am uncertain and questioning everything
But I can't doubt this
Despite my doubts, I can't deny the truth
Not just yet
I am not ready to fully accept reality
The good is much too great
The positive aspects are too significant to ignore
There is a thin layer lining this cloud
Even in dark times, there is a glimmer of hope
And it's carrying its weight
That hope is bearing the burden of my struggles
So what do I do now?
I am unsure of how to proceed
So what if I don't know how?
It's okay if I don't have all the answers right now
So what do I do now?
The uncertainty of my next steps is daunting
So what
But I must keep moving forward and not give up
So I can't stand it
My emotions are reaching a tipping point again
I'm gonna implode
I feel like I am collapsing in on myself
My outsides coming in
The external pressures and negativity are getting to me
There is a brick wall building itself
I feel like I am hitting a metaphorical wall
And it wants it all forgotten
The wall wants me to give up and forget my goals
But I can't forget, not just yet
I can't let go of my dreams and aspirations
The good is much too fine
The potential positivity is too great to ignore
There is a brick wall aiming to destroy
The obstacle is attempting to crush my hopes and dreams
And sneak in a little sunshine
But I must seek out any glimmers of positivity and hold onto them
