Deliberate Practice
Embracing Imperfections: A Journey Through Deliberate Practice
Lyrics
Deliberate practice is still really hard
Expressing the difficulty of deliberate practice.
Tell me you love me and catch me off guard
Desiring unexpected declarations of love.
Take my advice and I'll try to take yours
Encouraging mutual advice exchange.
In a moment of silence facedown on the floor
Reflecting on a moment of silence while facing challenges.
Facedown on the floor
Reiteration of a vulnerable moment, facedown on the floor.
I'm swallowing poison, hope my enemies die
Metaphorically consuming negativity, wishing ill upon enemies.
I'm making decisions I can't justify
Making decisions without clear justification.
But I'm not alone in this big awful mess
Acknowledging shared struggles in a chaotic situation.
'Cause I've got a friend and she loves me the best
Highlighting the support of a loving friend.
She loves me the best
Reaffirming the depth of a friend's love.
I'm counting my blessings by twos and by tens
Gratitude expressed by counting blessings.
I'm seeing my life through a scratch on the lens
Perceiving life through imperfections or challenges.
But I'm leaning in close to the people who ache
Close connection with those experiencing pain.
God's present in weakness and all my mistakes
Recognizing the divine presence in weakness and mistakes.
All my mistakes
Emphasizing the significance of acknowledging mistakes.
It's bitter in winter, the cross of our king
Describing the bitterness in winter and the symbol of the cross.
The knowledge that darkness affects everything
Acknowledging the pervasive impact of darkness.
You're quick to be angry, it's your grandmother's gift
Linking quick anger to a familial trait.
All people on earth, from the cup we all sip
Highlighting shared humanity and experiences.
A cup we all sip
Symbolizing the commonality of life experiences.
