I Just Go Where The Current Takes Me

I Just Go Where The Current Takes Me

Wrote this based off of song lyrics

"
What do you do when your soul is on an anchor that's constantly at the bottom of the sea? You always feel weighed down by the pressure of the vast water. Sometimes light hits the waves and your soul seems to be a little bit more weightless, but you always have that feeling of being held down that won't shake off. Your hopes and dreams lie impossibly high above you, smuggled in the boat above the surface, perfectly fine without your presence. But you're not fine... You're constantly looking for the time to scheme your way to the top, but time is not easy to grasp onto. Each day is just a series of busy work, moving with the current and watching your chain sway. Each day both anchor and chain alike become a little rustier and as each day passes, you fear as if you'll never have the chance to see the sky. You fear that your chance has already gone and passed long ago.
"And I just want to fade away into the sky under the sea.
Do you see me at all under the tall waves?"
The Sky Under The Sea, Pierce the Veil

"We all carry these inside that no one else can see
They hold us down like anchors
They drown us out at sea"
Chelsea Grin, Bring Me The Horizon

"I wanna feel weightless
And that should be enough
But I'm stuck in this f*****g rut
Waiting on a second hand pick me up
And I'm over, getting older
If I could just find the time
Then I would never let another day go by
I'm over, getting old
And I'm so sick of watching while the minutes pass as I go nowhere
Cause I've been going crazy I don't want to waste another minute here"
Weightless, All Time Low
