Realize
This lyric is about how fear from a particular event or series of events in your life can grab hold of the latter and twist it around, leaving you a shell of who you used to be. When your life is controlled by fear of being hurt, being ridiculed, and/or being left all alone, the easiest thing to do is give up when faced with a choice that could potentially lead you to the above situations. It takes a lot of courage to realize that you are scared, and a lot more to get up and expel your fear, and therefore give you yourself the chance to live your life to the fullest.

Wunschliste
It's made me a coward
It's easier to lie than to admit that I've realized
Falling down again and again
Left some scars that'll never completely heal
It always hurt bad in the moment
But the worst pain is once the scar appears
That's when its memory
Resonates loudly in your ear
Asking to give you its undivided attention
Wearing you down, slowly but surely
Until it's all you think about, the one and only
It's made me a coward
It's easier to lie than to admit that I've realized
I've gotten used to giving up
Scared of what's to come once I say yes or no
It's easier to think that I'm just this way
Because this is who I want to be
Than to realize, to understand
That I've been falling all this time
From fear that I'll never see the light of day
I used to never care whether I win or lose
Used to spend my days doing things I wanted to do
But I've gotten weak over the years
Gave in to praise from people I don't know
Made myself the enemy of who I'd like to be
A second of fragility
Stopped me, cracking the glass
The cracks reached out
Until I was spiralling down swiftly
Towards an infinity of calling it quits
It's made me a coward
It's easier to lie than to admit that I've realized
I've gotten used to giving up
Scared of what's to come once I say yes or no
It's easier to think that I'm just this way
Because this is who I want to be
Than to realize, to understand
That I've been falling all this time
From fear that I'll never see the light of day
I used to trust my instincts
Trust that they'll lead me to victory
But doing so has made them dull
Now I'm making mistakes
And creating new ones wherever I go
Once a poster child for effort and image
Now I have to speak first for people to see me
Say sweet nothings all day long
For them to forgive, but never forget
Just one of the many cracks I've made
I don't want to feel that pain again
But I'm still in this same mess
Dragging those above with me
So I'll have the excuse of not being alone
But the years have made me realize what I am
It's killing me from the inside out
But I'm becoming numb anyways
All that's left is to say it out loud
