Sight
Wolf & Bear Lyrics

I am not myself,
I am feeling disconnected from myself, lost, and not like my usual self. I am unsure of the reason why.

I will never know why
I will never be able to understand why I feel this way or what caused it.

Walking in circles,
I feel like I am going in circles and not making any progress or moving forward in my life.

Nothing passes me by
I am stuck in a rut and nothing seems to be happening or changing in my life.

The world turns for me,
I am so trapped in my own thoughts and feelings that I feel like the world revolves around me.

The oceans, the seas,
Even something as vast and deep as the oceans and seas can only be seen as deep or shallow as I allow them to be because of my limited perspective.

Are only as deep
No matter how deep something is in reality, I can only see it as deep as I allow myself to see it due to my limited view or mindset.

As my eyes let them be.
My perceptions determine my reality, so the depth of things I see is only as deep as I allow myself to perceive them.

I'm not scared,
Despite everything, I am not afraid of anything.

I'm fucking fine
I am doing okay and don't need anyone to worry about me.

I witness nightmares,
I see and experience terrible things but continue to face them head-on.

I'm not losing my mind.
Despite everything, I am not losing my grip on reality and remain in control of my thoughts and emotions.

Reality
The actual state of things.

Will never cease to be
The reality of things will never disappear or change, no matter how much I may want it to.

More than the veil
Reality is not just an illusion or something that can be hidden or obscured from plain view.

That's in front of me.
It is always present and in front of me, and I can't ignore or escape it.

Sink beneath I feel so weak,
I feel like I am drowning and have no strength left to fight back.

(Feel so weak)
This feeling of weakness is overwhelming and consuming me.

Takes the breath right out of me.
It's so intense that it leaves me breathless and struggling to regain control of my emotions.

Swimming in the sea
Being immersed in something deep and vast like the ocean.

Might swallow you whole
It can be too much to handle and consume you completely, leaving you feeling overwhelmed.

Consuming your dreams
It can take over your aspirations and desires and leave you feeling empty and unfulfilled.

Like it's out of control.
The experience can seem like it's beyond your control or understanding, and you are helpless to stop it.

Trapped under ice
Feeling stuck or claustrophobic, unable to break free from a suffocating situation.

And it's never been so thick.
This situation is particularly daunting and difficult to overcome, and it feels like it's never been this thick or impossible to break through.

I won't look back,
Despite the difficulties, I am determined to move forward and not look back, no matter how hard or painful it may seem.

I won't go back.
I won't let my past hold me back or dictate my future, and I will move forward no matter what.

I know this time,
This time, I am sure, and nothing can stop me from achieving my goals.

That you're never gonna stop me.
No one can hold me back or stop me from achieving what I want.

Don't deny,
Don't try to argue or deny the truth of the situation.

You were preying on my heart beat
You were trying to take advantage of me or manipulate me for your own gain.

Hoping that I won't survive.
You wanted me to fail or give up, but I won't let that happen.

She believes
Despite everything, she holds a certain belief or perspective.

It's what her spirit needs
She feels that this experience or behavior is necessary for her personal growth or wellbeing.

Like ten things to do
She has a set of guidelines or instructions to follow, like a step-by-step process for achieving something specific.

When you're twenty-five.
This applies to young people who may be struggling to find their way or purpose in life and are seeking guidance or advice.

And they always come crawling back
People who have let you down or hurt you in the past often come back to you looking for help or forgiveness.

(Drown where you drink.
This could mean to suffer the consequences of your own actions or to become immersed in the negative culture or environment you surround yourself with.

Die in your sleep)
To pass away peacefully in your sleep, without anyone knowing or caring about your passing.

Offering nothing. (False prophet of true progress)
They have nothing to offer or contribute, and they are not truly interested in making any real progress or change.

With outstretched hands.
Despite their lack of contribution or commitment, they still expect to receive something for nothing.

Your hearts there to guide you,
You should always listen to your heart and trust your instincts, as they will show you the way forward.

Don't leave it beside you.
Don't ignore your heart or disregard your feelings, as they are essential to your wellbeing and happiness.

We feel for a reason
Our emotions and feelings have a purpose and are there to help us navigate and make sense of the world around us.

And change with the seasons.
Our emotions and feelings are not fixed or unchanging, but rather they shift and adjust depending on our experiences and circumstances.

Oh, oh
An exclamation of surprise or excitement.

Change with the seasons
Our emotions and feelings are not stagnant or unyielding, but are dynamic and can change over time.

Your hearts there to guide you,
Once again, it is essential to listen to your heart and let it guide you in your journey through life.

Don't leave it beside you
Don't disregard your emotions or feelings as irrelevant or unimportant, but rather embrace them and use them to navigate the challenges of life.

We feel for a reason
Our emotions and feelings have a purpose and are there to help us understand ourselves and the world around us better.

So don't commit treason.
Don't betray yourself or your values by going against your better judgement or doing something that goes against your beliefs or morals.

Bury me by myself
When I die, I want to be buried alone and not in a mass grave with others who have died.

Not in a mass grave
I don't want to be buried with others in a shared plot, as I believe that each person deserves their own space and individuality even after death.

I won't live a lie
I refuse to live a false life or pretend to be someone I'm not, as I believe in authenticity and honesty above all else.

And keep pretending.
I won't continue to put up a facade or pretend to be something I'm not, as it is not sustainable or fulfilling in the long run.

The shade envy's the sunrise,
Even the darkness or negativity in life can't help but admire the positivity and lightness that comes with a new day or a fresh start.

Because no one waits to see
The darkness or negativity doesn't have the same level of anticipation or excitement as the positivity or lightness does, as people prefer to focus on the good rather than the bad.

The shadows grow.
The darkness or negativity tends to grow and spread quickly, but it is ultimately unable to overcome the light and positivity that exists in the world.

It's getting colder
The temperature is dropping and it's becoming colder outside.

And you still don't have
Despite the changing weather, there is still something missing or lacking in your life.

Anywhere to go.
You feel stuck or directionless, with nowhere to turn or move forward to.

I don't mean to stare,
I am not intentionally trying to stare, but I can't help but notice or look at something or someone.

I just know
I have an intuition or a feeling about something, even if I can't explain it explicitly.

You'll always be there.
Something or someone will always be present or available, even if it's not always visible or apparent.
