Empty

"Faded Away" is a deeply emotional track that captures the feeling of losing touch with oneself in the midst of overwhelming emotions. Bobby Clayton’s voice brings a raw, vulnerable energy, perfectly matching the sentiment of the lyrics. The song explores the mental and emotional exhaustion that comes from feeling disconnected and unsure, with the powerful refrain "I faded away, my mind can't take this" expressing the slow unraveling of one’s thoughts and sense of self.

With a haunting, atmospheric sound, the track blends soft piano melodies with subtle strings, creating a sense of quiet desolation. The lyrics paint a picture of someone struggling to hold onto their sanity, weighed down by the pressures and complexities of life. It’s a track that speaks to the moments when you feel mentally drained and lost, unable to find peace within your own mind.

Bobby Clayton’s heartfelt delivery adds an intimate layer to the song, making "Faded Away" resonate with anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or on the verge of losing themselves. The song invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences with emotional struggle and the journey of trying to reclaim their inner strength.

"Overwhelm, Not Laziness: Understanding and Overcoming Shutdown" explores the crucial difference between laziness and being overwhelmed. The podcast explains how overwhelming stress causes our executive function to shut down as a protective mechanism, creating a cycle of inaction and self-criticism. It provides a practical four-step plan to break free from overwhelm, including self-compassion techniques, stress identification strategies, brain first aid methods, and nervous system reboot practices. Additionally, it offers preventative measures like daily emotion check-ins, stress release routines focused on movement, nature, creativity, and connection, as well as boundary-setting skills to build resilience against future overwhelm. Throughout, the podcast emphasizes that overwhelm is a universal experience and encourages readers to approach themselves with kindness rather than judgment.

Overwhelm, Not Laziness: Understanding and Overcoming Shutdown

People in power
Mistreating people who have none.
Imposing their wills
With missiles and guns
This weighs heavily upon my mind. 
I have
Cynically become resigned
To the fact that lowlifes 
Are running the show.

I 
Walk around in a daze
I 
Have lost my way
I 
Don't know what to say

Will I 
Make it to 
Another day?

Fired from my job
I didn't get paid

Dumped by my girl
I didn't get laid

Thrown out of school
Didn't make the grades

Too easily distracted
I just can't concentrate

I feel
like I'm
coming unhinged
All these headlines are
Making me cringe
I lose everything
I just can't win
This chaos 
Makes my head spin

My composure is slipping
My ship is sinking
It unravels my thinking
I'll dull the pain with
Drugs and drinking
 
I feel like
I'm coming unhinged
All these headlines are 
Making me cringe
I lose everything
I just can't win
This chaos 
makes my head spin

Unhinged!

The Perils of Permanent Marker - Slice Of Life Stories 🎧

Too Much Right Now" is a raw and emotional track about feeling overwhelmed by life, stress, and the pain of watching someone you love suffer  especially when it’s your pet and you feel powerless. Nada Samir pours her heart into this song, capturing the silent battles we often fight alone. This one is for everyone holding it together while breaking inside.
[Verse 1]
I hold it in, I smile all day
But inside, I’m breaking in every way
Luna’s eyes, they’re full of pain
And I can’t fix it, I’m just drowning in the rain

[Pre-Chorus]
Bills on the table, tears on my face
Trying to keep up, but I’m losing the race
Nobody sees how it’s hurting my soul
I’m tired of pretending I’m in control

[Chorus]
It’s all too much right now
I wanna scream but I don’t know how
Feels like I’m falling, nowhere to land
Wish someone could just understand
I’m not okay, and that’s allowed
It’s all too much right now

[Verse 2]
Clinic calls, and silent nights
I sit with Luna, holding tight
He doesn’t speak, but he knows my fear
Every breath I take, I wish he’s near

[Bridge]
I’ve been strong for way too long
But even strong girls can fall apart
And I don’t need fixing
Just someone who sees my heart

[Final Chorus]
It’s all too much right now
Don’t ask me to smile or fake somehow
I’m doing my best just to breathe
But it’s heavy, and I need relief
So if I cry, don’t make a sound
It’s all too much right now


Too Much Right Now

My dreams are overwhelmed by your memory,
Your memory comes with the breeze and the wind,
A flashback of all we left behind.
My heart still feels your fading footsteps,
As the night falls, the shadow speaks of you
