Discover the story of the song > Tired Climb – Kylesa

The lyrics describe the protagonist feeling anxious and overwhelmed, wanting to escape their own thoughts and memories. They feel stuck in a cycle of moving forward and then regretting it, and sometimes feel like they're making no progress at all. The repetition of "walking backwards" suggests they feel like they're going backwards instead of forwards in life, and the tired climb they're on is difficult and draining.
