Surfaced
The Dangerous Summer Lyrics

I set my words on the ground and I was grinding my teeth
I felt overwhelmed and frustrated, wanting to express myself but feeling held back by something.

I planted pieces of light to see if planets could speak
I searched for meaning and purpose in the universe, looking for signals from something beyond myself.

It took my mind by surprise
As I went about my struggles and searching, I found something unexpected and transformative.

When I was finally free, through all my darkest days
After persevering through difficult times, I felt a sense of release and liberation.

I felt my heartbeat
I was filled with a sense of vitality and life, after feeling drained and worn down for so long.

Again, and dropped to my knees
The feeling of newfound energy and purpose overwhelmed me, causing me to drop down and feel my own humanness.

There was a sun in my eyes that made A star out of me.
I felt transformed and filled with light, almost as if I had become the center of the universe itself.

It's like my life was a list and my head was first To get crossed off.
I felt like everything in my life was temporary, and that nothing truly mattered.

It's the pleasure that I keep to sit down with my Friends and talk about my day.
Amidst all this, I found joy and meaning in simply spending time with people I care about, and sharing our experiences with each other.

Can you hear me? well I don't even care.
Even as I tried to connect with others, I felt that ultimately no one could truly understand what I was going through.

I'll stop my screaming if you look the other way.
I was so desperate for someone to listen and understand me, I would do almost anything to get their attention.

It's been a bad year So let me sleep in one more day.
I was so exhausted from the struggles and pain of the past year, that all I wanted was a little more rest before having to face it all again

I really found the simple things live Closest to your home.
Despite all the searching and seeking, I found that what brought me the most joy and peace was the ordinary, everyday things in my life.

I'm not alone because I live inside a world that Is my own.
Even when I felt disconnected from others or society, I had my own inner world and thoughts to keep me company.

I haven't found what I've been looking for yet, but you can count on me to stay forever And that's the truth, we'll stay just fine
Even though I haven't found all the answers or the perfect life, I know I'll keep trying, and that sometimes just being there for others or myself is enough.

I'm coming back and just on time to be myself again The way that made me real So tell me, have you surfaced yet?
After feeling lost or disconnected, I felt a sense of coming back to myself, and being true to my real self once again.

This is how it felt When I was growing up and being part of no one but you found yourself And that says a lot to me these days
I realized that when I was young, I felt alone and disconnected from everyone else, but that eventually I found my own path and my own sense of identity.

I'm sorry for the way I used to Be, I was just a kid.
I felt remorse for past mistakes and regrets, and wished that I could have known then what I know now.

yeah, let me sleep this off
Sometimes all you can do is rest and take care of yourself, giving yourself space to recharge before facing the world again.

Try not to be hard on yourself was all I ever heard from her I finally think I understand What she was saying to me
I realized that sometimes the best advice or support we can give ourselves is to be gentle and kind to ourselves, and to not put too much pressure on ourselves to be perfect.

Because nothing's worth the pain in your back Believe in that. the world can take control but don't ever lose Your heart, because I know you better than that.
Through all the challenges and struggles, I held on to the truth that no matter what happens, I can always choose to believe in myself and my own worth, and that who I am inside cannot be taken away by anyone or anything else.
