Levity
Embracing Levity: A Journey Through Struggle to Self-Worth
Lyrics
From an infant age
Reflecting on experiences from a very young age
I've always felt strange
Sense of being different or unusual
Filling up my ribcage
Feeling emotions intensely
Other people's pain
Empathy towards others' suffering
Always play it safe
Choosing cautious approaches in life
That's what mami say
Advice received from mother about being careful
Hold your expectations
Managing personal aspirations and ambitions
Horses in the gate
Feeling prepared or ready to take action
Lately it seems
Recent experiences align with a global trend
The world's current theme
Perception of the world resembling a scary movie
More like a horror film
Concern about personal safety or vulnerability
Am I the next girl that's getting killed
Worry about becoming a victim
When I go to sleep?
Contemplating mortality while asleep
Well I have a dream
Ambitious dreams for a better reality
Where you and me, we get to be
Desiring carefree companionship
Cool and carefree
Recalling a past carefree existence
Like we used to be
Nostalgia for a relaxed and enjoyable past
Rockin' my little t's
Proudly wearing simple clothing
Every version of me
Acceptance of all personal versions
Worth celebrating
Recognizing self-worth and self-acceptance
Pop my bubbly
Celebrating personal achievements or milestones
Ok fine it's Hennessey
Humorous admission of enjoying alcohol
Ain't think I'd see 23
Surprise at reaching a particular age
Every version of me
Acceptance and appreciation of personal growth
Worth celebrating
Emphasizing the value of self-discovery
Can't find the answers
Difficulty in finding solutions without clear questions
If I can't form the questions
Yearning for guidance and honesty from a family member
Miss my Tía Ceci's candor
Missing straightforward advice from an aunt
It gave me direction
Guidance received shaping personal direction
Can't turn to my dad 'cause he
Lack of support from father due to focus on finances
'Bout his money
Father's preoccupation with money matters
Can't look to my mama
Mother's behavior seeming odd or distant
She acting funny
Perceived change in mother's behavior
We barely spoke all of 2020
Minimal communication with mother in a specific year
Too much weight on my shoulders already heavy
Feeling overwhelmed by existing burdens
You could keep that, yeah
Rejecting additional emotional weight
Anxiety and sertraline and
Dealing with anxiety and medication
Losing me and losing sleep and
Struggling with self-identity and sleep loss
Being mean to me
Experiencing internal conflict and negativity
That's my daily routine
Undesirable routine of self-criticism
That's not how it should be
Recognizing dissatisfaction with current state
I'd rather feel a little levity
Preference for a lighter, happier state of being
Cool and carefree
Desiring carefree companionship, reiterated
Like we used to be
Yearning for a past relaxed state, reiterated
Rockin' my little t's
Proudly wearing simple clothing, reiterated
Every version of me
Acceptance of personal variations, reiterated
Worth celebrating
Recognizing self-worth and self-acceptance, reiterated
Pop my bubbly
Celebrating personal achievements, reiterated
Ok fine it's Hennessey
Humorous admission of enjoying alcohol, reiterated
Ain't think I'd see 23
Surprise at reaching a particular age, reiterated
Every version of me
Emphasizing the value of self-discovery, reiterated
Worth celebrating
Recognizing self-worth and self-acceptance, reiterated
Celebrating me
Acknowledging self-celebration as necessary
I'm worth it, said
Affirmation of personal value and worthiness
I'm worth it, yeah
Reiteration of personal worth and value
