Misty Morning

Travis Bretzer's 'Misty Morning' captures the essence of a new day shrouded in a sense of monotony and introspection. The song opens with vivid imagery of a misty morning and pouring rain, setting a melancholic tone. The repetition of 'New day' juxtaposed with 'Looks like an evening' suggests a lack of distinction between days, emphasizing a feeling of stagnation. This is further highlighted by the line 'I know tomorrow will be just as ordinary as all the other days,' which conveys a sense of resignation to the routine and predictability of life.

The lyrics delve deeper into the artist's internal struggle with the mundane. The phrase 'I'll try to dig in deep and make it out by the skin of my teeth but I'm so tired of trying' reflects a weariness and frustration with the effort required to simply get through each day. This sentiment is relatable to many who feel trapped in the cycle of daily life, constantly striving but feeling exhausted by the effort. The repetition of 'Maybe my mind's preoccupied, maybe I'm just your fool' suggests a sense of self-doubt and confusion, questioning the purpose and direction of one's actions.

In the latter part of the song, Bretzer reflects on 'Old ways' and 'Old days,' hinting at nostalgia and the passage of time. The 'distant reflection' and 'fake a collection' imply a longing for the past and a recognition of how memories can be distorted. The song concludes with a glimmer of hope as the artist contemplates 'Start searching for tomorrow,' indicating a desire to break free from the monotony and find new meaning. 'Misty Morning' is a poignant exploration of the struggle to find purpose amidst the ordinary, resonating with anyone who has felt the weight of routine and the yearning for something more.
