It's Been Awhile
Aarron Lewis, John F. April, Jonathan Wysocki, Michael J. Mushok
And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you
And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that are rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means
And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well and
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you
And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again, again
Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day
And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste
And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be, and I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me
And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
Reflexões e Redenção: Uma Análise de Its Been Awhile' de Staind
A música It's Been Awhile, da banda Staind, é uma poderosa balada de rock que explora temas de arrependimento, vício e autopercepção. A letra, carregada de emoção, reflete uma jornada pessoal de reconhecimento dos próprios erros e a luta para superá-los. O vocalista Aaron Lewis entrega uma performance vocal intensa que transmite a sinceridade e a dor por trás das palavras.
O refrão 'It's been awhile' é repetido como um mantra que marca o tempo desde a última vez que o narrador se sentiu bem consigo mesmo, desde a última vez que viu uma pessoa amada, ou desde a última vez que conseguiu se manter sóbrio. Essa repetição não apenas enfatiza a passagem do tempo, mas também a sensação de distância entre o narrador e a versão de si mesmo que ele deseja recuperar. A música aborda a dificuldade de lidar com as consequências dos próprios atos, especialmente quando esses atos incluem a dependência e a incapacidade de amar a si mesmo.
A canção também toca em temas de perdão e responsabilidade pessoal. O narrador reconhece que não pode culpar seu passado ou sua criação pelos problemas que enfrenta; ele entende que a mudança deve vir de dentro. A menção ao pai e o reconhecimento de que ele fez o melhor que pôde é um momento de aceitação e compreensão. It's Been Awhile é uma música que ressoa com muitos ouvintes por sua honestidade brutal e sua mensagem de que, apesar dos desafios, é possível se redimir e seguir em frente.
And it's been awhile
E já faz um tempo
Since I could hold my head up high
Desde que eu pude erguer minha cabeça
And it's been awhile
E já faz um tempo
Since I first saw you
Desde a primeira vez que te vi

E tudo que eu não consigo lembrar
As fucked up as it all may seem
Por mais fodido que tudo possa parecer
The consequences that are rendered
As consequências que são geradas
I've stretched myself beyond my means
Eu me estendi além dos meus limites

Mas toda essa merda parece desaparecer quando estou com você
And everything I can't remember
E tudo que eu não consigo lembrar
As fucked up as it all may seem
Por mais fodido que tudo possa parecer
The consequences that I've rendered
As consequências que eu causei
I've gone and fucked things up again, again
Eu estraguei tudo de novo, de novo
Why must I feel this way?
Por que eu tenho que me sentir assim?
Just make this go away
Apenas faça isso desaparecer
Just one more peaceful day
Apenas mais um dia pacífico

Desde que eu pude me olhar direto
And it's been awhile
E já faz um tempo

And it's been awhile
E já faz um tempo
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
Desde que eu vi a maneira como as velas iluminam seu rosto
And it's been awhile
E já faz um tempo
But I can still remember just the way you taste
Mas eu ainda consigo lembrar exatamente do seu gosto
And everything I can't remember
E tudo que eu não consigo lembrar
As fucked up as it all may seem to be, and I know it's me
Por mais fodido que tudo possa parecer, e eu sei que sou eu
