A Scream and a Song
Navigating Life's Symphony: A Scream and a Song Reflection
Lyrics
I went to my school yesterday
I revisited my school the day before today.
Treaded the tired old grounds
Walked through the familiar, worn-out areas.
It was quiet in that hallway
The corridor was silent at that moment.
As I began to make the rounds
Commenced a tour around the premises.
I went to that old room upstairs
I went to the old room on the upper floor.
Where I had a million conversations
Recalling numerous past conversations in that space.
I remember how some people would stare
Memories of people staring when I asked naive questions.
When I would ask a silly question
Reflecting on moments of posing silly queries.
And how it felt like the first time I'd ever been wrong
Recollection of the discomfort of being wrong for the first time.
I was stuck in the middle of a scream and a song
Caught between expressing a scream and a song.
And I needed something then to make me feel strong
Seeking something to provide strength at that moment.
And to make me belong
Yearning for a sense of belonging.
I went back home and I saw my friends
Returned home and met with friends.
That I hadn't seen for a little while
Friends not seen for a brief period.
I wondered if things would've changed since then
Contemplating if things had changed in the meantime.
But they never fail to make me smile
Finding joy in the constant ability of friends to make me smile.
And I remembered the first time I'd ever been wrong
Remembering the initial experience of being wrong.
I was stuck in the middle of a scream and a song
Caught in the conflict between a scream and a song.
And I needed something then to make me feel strong
Seeking strength once again in that moment.
And to make me belong
Longing for a sense of belonging.
And how it felt like the first time I'd ever been wrong
Recollection of the discomfort of being wrong for the first time.
I was stuck in the middle of a scream and a song
Caught between expressing a scream and a song.
And I needed something then to make me feel strong
Seeking something to provide strength at that moment.
And to make me belong
Yearning for a sense of belonging.
