Lyrics / Prompt

Verse 1:
I’m staring at the air, wondering how it moves,
Headphones on, tracing signals like Bluetooth.
Is it all connected?
Does it all come together even when we don’t get it?
500 years ago, Bluetooth didn’t exist, but now it makes sense.
Is life like that with us?
Moving forward, never saying hi, never explaining why.
I’m so stressed, but somehow I’m relaxed—
Or maybe just breathing in the wave
Chorus:
Lost in the trail of not knowing where,
Like driving a car in an open-ended nowhere.
Just turning up the music to feel a little lighter.
The unknown is thrilling until you realize—
You’ve been in it from the start,
And now you know the path, just not where it begins.
Verse 2:
People say, “You’ll figure it out,” but what if I get stuck?
What if I waste years on something that was never enough?
I keep walking, I keep risking, I keep falling, I keep learning,
I keep saying, “Yeah, it’s just for now,” but what if I’m wrong?
What if I’m too naive to see,
Or know too much, and it blinds what was meant to be hidden?
Wow, I could be screaming—but I just keep grinning,
Gotta keep the jokes up just to keep swimming.
Chorus:
Lost in the trail of not knowing where,
Like driving a car in an open-ended nowhere.
Just turning up the music to feel a little lighter.
The unknown is thrilling until you realize—
You’ve been in it from the start,
And now you know the path, just not where it begins.
Bridge:
I know failing means growth,
I know the only way to truly win is to have lost.
The volume’s up, the feeling’s high,
I keep hearing, "Everything will work out."
My own voice on the radio, trying to make sense
Of the time that could’ve slipped away,
Of the things I could’ve done but maybe never gave wings.
Like a forest after a storm—
It won’t disappear, right?
But what will be broken?
What will be revealed?
What did the storm take that won’t ever come back?
It’s so unsettling, so unmaskingly,
And somehow still an incomprehensibility.
Chorus:
Lost in the trail of not knowing where,
Like driving a car in an open-ended nowhere.
Just turning up the music to feel a little lighter.
The unknown is thrilling until you realize—
You’ve been in it from the start,
And now you know the path, just not where it begins.
Outro:
Maybe I should be lost so I can create my own new way home,
Maybe not knowing everything is how we learn the most.
It's heavy, but it’s necessary—I know, I know,
So why does everyone say it like I haven't thought of that before?
I do know it, I just need to scream into the void.
Are you trying?
Are you taking care of your heart too?
Are you searching for joy in the smallest of things?
Are you giving yourself the best you can right now?
You're worth it—you know that, right?
Future me, I hope you memorized that.
