The Second Arrow (Lo-fi R&B) | a song for when you're tired of overthinking

Two arrows hit you today. You only had to feel one. An old teaching says that when an arrow hits you, it hurts. But most of us then shoot a second arrow at ourselves: the replaying, the blaming, the what-ifs. This song is about putting that second arrow down. 🎵 The Second Arrow · Lo-fi R&B 📖 Inspired by an ancient teaching. ▶ Playlist: Songs for When You're Tired 🌙 Rest, Breathe, Let the Day Go — Lyrics — An old teacher once said: when an arrow hits you, it hurts. But most of us shoot ourselves again. Long day, cold coffee on the train Someone's words still running through my brain The first one hit me early in the day The second one I fired on my own way Replaying it, rewriting it Holding the bow so tight Put down the second arrow Let the first one be enough The pain was only one shot The rest was me, being rough Put down the second arrow Let it fall onto the floor Tonight you only feel what's real And nothing more Shoes off, the city goes to blue The hurt is just a feeling passing through I don't need to hit me with the "why" I can let a cloud just be a cloud in the sky Breathing in, breathing out Loosen up the string Put down the second arrow Let the first one be enough The pain was only one shot The rest was me, being rough Put down the second arrow Let it fall onto the floor Tonight you only feel what's real And nothing more One breath... that's all it takes One breath... before the story starts One breath... the arrow drops And there's room inside your heart Just one arrow Just one Rest now 🕯️ Old Soul Hour: wisdom songs for hard days.
