Two Little Lines
Embracing Uncertainty: Facing Life's Crossroads with Courage
Lyrics
Shit, shit, shit, shit
Expressing frustration and distress
I know that swearing isn't helping it
Acknowledging that swearing won't improve the situation
But fuck I've had enough, this waiting isn't getting better
Feeling overwhelmed by waiting, wanting things to change
I'm sweating and I'm shaking and I'm dreading this mistake
Experiencing physical symptoms of anxiety
I can't pretend I'm dreaming when I feel so damn awake
Unable to deny reality, feeling fully awake
So I'll close my eyes and I'll count to five and I'll use that time to remind me
Using a technique to calm down by focusing on positive thoughts
Of things to keep my mind at ease like friends and school and family
Reminding oneself of comforting aspects like friends, school, and family
My family, what will they think of me?
Concern about family's potential judgment
I don't know where I'm going
Feeling lost or uncertain about the future
But these results better start showing
Expecting results or outcomes to become evident
Take a moment, relax, try to inhale
Encouraging oneself to relax and breathe
And imagine that everything's fine
Imagining everything is fine to ease anxiety
Before you notice your life start to derail
Fearing life taking a negative turn
Just remember the future's still bright
Trying to maintain hope for a positive future
So I'll give what I got whether they like it or not
Determined to stay true to oneself despite potential opposition
I'm not changing the plot to my story
Resisting altering the course of one's life story
I've got brains, I've got heart, and I've got plenty of time
Confidence in possessing intellect, emotion, and time
So why should I be scared of two little lines
Questioning the fear of the consequences represented by two lines (pregnancy test)
There's a ring around that tub, this bathroom sure needs scrubbing
Noticing dirt in the bathroom, seeking distractions
Look at that toilet brush just sitting in that scum
Observing unpleasantness, trying to avoid the situation's reality
Anything to take my mind off this 'cause more than likely if it's positive
Avoiding facing a positive pregnancy test's implications
I'll never face the world, I'll make this bathroom my new home
Fearing isolation and choosing seclusion if the test is positive
I don't know where I'm going, so much for all I know
Reiterating uncertainty about the future
Take a moment, relax, try to inhale
Encouragement to relax and stay calm
And imagine that everything's fine
Using imagination to cope with potential distressing news
Before you notice your life start to derail
Avoiding a life-altering derailment
Just remember the future's still bright
Remaining optimistic about the future despite worries
So I'll give what I got whether they like it or not
Determined to persist regardless of others' opinions
I'm not changing the plot to my story
Commitment to staying true to personal narrative
I've got brains, I've got heart, and I've got plenty of time
Confidence in possessing qualities needed to face challenges
So why should I be scared of two little lines
Questioning the fear of the consequences represented by two lines (pregnancy test)
This is the last thing that I want
Strongly expressing opposition to a specific outcome
The last thing that I need
Emphasizing the undesirability of a particular situation
And I know it can't be positive
Assuming a negative result for the situation at hand
What if it's positive?
Expressing anxiety about a potential positive outcome
My prom dress
Mentioning a personal item linked to a significant event (prom)
I won't fit into my prom dress
Concern about physical changes if pregnancy is confirmed
These florescent lights don't flatter, but imagine six months fatter
Imagining the potential future appearance due to pregnancy
I'll be disgusting, I'll look old
Fear of negative changes and their impact
And put everything on hold, do everything I'm told
Feeling obliged to follow certain expectations due to the situation
By my folks who'll disown me, so lonely
Anticipating negative reactions and potential isolation
And who'd have thought this messy chance would mean nine months in stretchy pants
Reflecting on the unexpected consequences of a risky action (unprotected sex)
And the end of senior year, and the end of seventeen
Realizing the potential end of current life phase due to pregnancy
And Tom, how will I drop the bomb?
Concern about disclosing news to a significant person (Tom)
Just tell him, "Hey, I'm gonna be a mom!"
Contemplating informing someone about the pregnancy
I just want my mom, I just need my mom
Seeking maternal support in a time of distress
Or I'll just run away
Considering fleeing from the situation due to fear or stress
I'll just run away
Reiterating the thought of escaping the situation
Take a moment, relax, try to inhale
Encouragement to remain calm in the face of uncertainty
And imagine that everything's fine
Using imagination to maintain composure despite potential distress
Before you notice your life start to derail
Avoiding life going off course due to distressing news
Just remember the future's still bright
Reminding oneself to stay positive despite worries
So I'll give what I got whether they like it or not
Determination to persist despite potential opposition
I'm not changing the plot to my story
Commitment to personal narrative and values
I've got brains, I've got heart, and I've got plenty of time
Confidence in possessing qualities needed to face challenges
So why should I be scared of two little lines
Questioning the fear of the consequences represented by two lines (pregnancy test)
Two little lines
Reiteration of the anxiety regarding the pregnancy test's result
