Always
Anxious Springtime Reflections: Always by Alaska Reid
Lyrics
Trailers, silos blurring past the window
Observing trailers and silos passing by outside the window.
I'm stuck in my head pulling all the big scabs apart
Feeling mentally trapped, engaging in self-destructive thoughts.
Cotton candy colored sky
Describing a sky with colors resembling cotton candy.
Don't think I'm boring
Asserting that the speaker is not boring.
It's springtime just another creature to come and die
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of life during spring.
Now I'll forgive,
Expressing a willingness to forgive.
Never cared that much when I was a kid Come on stop feeling like
Recalling a lack of concern during childhood.
Always, yeah I get anxious that you might not stay
Expressing anxiety about the possibility of someone not staying.
Eat with sleep with die with fight with
List of activities associated with various aspects of life.
These days I'm trying not to worry about how things change
Attempting to avoid worrying about the inevitability of change.
Eat with sleep with die with fight with
Repetition of activities, emphasizing their significance.
Streams and swelling lakes,
Referencing natural elements like streams and lakes.
Let the icy water wash away this endless ego game
Desiring the cleansing of the speaker's ego through icy water.
True grit works well on you but I know if I was weaker, your friends would start to like me too
Recognizing that a strong personality (true grit) may be attractive.
They'd start to like me too
Anticipating that weaker traits could make the speaker more likable.
Now I'll forgive,
Reiterating a willingness to forgive.
Never cared that much when I was a kid Come on stop feeling like
Recalling a carefree attitude from childhood.
Always, yeah I get anxious that you might not stay
Expressing ongoing anxiety about someone not staying.
Eat with sleep with die with fight with
Repeating the list of activities with a focus on their cyclic nature.
These days I'm trying not to worry about how things change
Continuing the effort to avoid worrying about the inevitability of change.
Eat with sleep with die with fight with
Reiteration of the cyclic nature of life's activities.
