Stuck in Loops We Can't Escape

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We used to dream of tomorrow's light
Plans and hopes that felt so bright
But somewhere along the way we lost
The future's thread, we count the cost
Stuck in loops we can't escape
Same old patterns, same old shape

[Chorus]
Melancholia holds us down
Repetition spins around
Can't let go of what we've lost
Death drive pays the highest cost
Future's fading, can't move on
The mourning process has gone wrong

[Verse 2]
Like a patient on the couch we lie
Societies that cannot cry
The trauma keeps us looking back
Moving forward feels like lack
What we loved has slipped away
But we replay it every day

[Chorus]
Melancholia holds us down
Repetition spins around
Can't let go of what we've lost
Death drive pays the highest cost
Future's fading, can't move on
The mourning process has gone wrong

[Bridge]
To mourn means letting go with grace
Accept the loss and find new space
But when we're trapped in endless loops
The past becomes our prison groups
The death drive pulls us to the past
This melancholy cannot last

[Verse 3]
Freud would say we must work through
The grief that keeps us feeling blue
Transform the pain into new ground
Where future hope can still be found
Break the cycle, face the loss
Only then we can cross

[Chorus]
Melancholia holds us down
Repetition spins around
Can't let go of what we've lost
Death drive pays the highest cost
Future's fading, can't move on
The mourning process has gone wrong

[Outro]
Learn to mourn and learn to heal
Make tomorrow something real
Break the chains of yesterday
Find a new and hopeful way
