EXCUSES
Breaking the Chains: Unmasking Life's Excuses in Ande Estrella's EXCUSES
Lyrics
I really don't think she meant to pull my hair
I believe she didn't intend to harm me by pulling my hair.
I'm caught in a fist fight it doesn't hurt I swear
Although in a physical altercation, it doesn't cause me pain.
No I promise she's not as bad as you may think
Assuring that she's not as negative as people might assume.
But it's true she's convinced me I'll never be anything
Admitting that she convinced me I won't achieve anything.
She made me cry as her cry for help by
She made me cry by revealing her own cry for help.
Making friends with the enemy to control how I felt
She manipulated my emotions by befriending those against me.
Tastes like jealousy with my name in her mouth
There's a taste of jealousy when she speaks negatively about me.
My ego is dinner she's chewing so loud
My self-esteem is like a meal for her, and she expresses it loudly.
But I think that I can muffle the sound
Believing that I can silence the negativity around me.
I live to learn
My purpose in life is to learn and grow.
In pain as I do
Experiencing pain is part of my learning process.
I love to make excuses for you
Expressing a tendency to make excuses for someone.
Befriend the flame and you'll burn
Getting close to danger will result in harm.
I learned that from you
Learned this lesson from the person I'm making excuses for.
I love to make excuses
Reiterating the tendency to make excuses for others.
I really don't think he's fully self aware
Believing that he lacks self-awareness.
I'm scared to tell him why he'll blame it on what I'm wearing
Fearful of telling him the truth as he may blame external factors.
Besides he's a nice guy we've been friends for a while
Describing him as a nice person despite his sudden inappropriate behavior.
But out of the blue he chooses to cross a line
Out of nowhere, he crosses a line in their relationship.
Slow down pick up on my queues
Advising him to slow down and understand her signals.
This was not in my mind when I said I'd like to get to know you
Expressing that the situation wasn't anticipated when expressing interest.
But you know what you meant
Acknowledging that he understands the situation and regrets it.
The nice guys lament
Referring to the typical scenario where nice guys end up in regret.
I told you I loved you to you that means yes
Stating that saying 'I love you' doesn't imply consent.
Mansplain again your version of my consent
Criticizing the tendency to mansplain and misinterpret consent.
I love to hurt
Enjoying causing pain as a form of learning.
I learn as I do
Learning from experiences, even if they involve hurting others.
I learned to make excuses from you
Developing a habit of making excuses influenced by others.
Avoid the truth and you'll burn
Emphasizing that avoiding the truth leads to consequences.
You're always gonna lose
Accepting that avoiding reality always results in loss.
Unless you can yearn to break the use of excuses
Encouraging self-reflection to break the habit of making excuses.
I love to turn to girls who like to pull my hair
Having a tendency to be attracted to girls who mistreat him.
I learn to excuse abusers who are self aware
Justifying and excusing the behavior of those who are aware they hurt others.
I'm learning from people who hurt me for years
Learning from people who caused him pain over the years.
But my biggest lesson is finally clear
Realizing that the most significant lesson is understanding personal fears.
You choose me because I'm your biggest fear
Acknowledging being chosen because of being a source of fear.
And I wanna say thank you because you got me here
Expressing gratitude for the lessons learned through difficult experiences.
For all that you put me through
Acknowledging the exhaustion of all possible excuses.
I've used up every last excuse
Reaching the point of running out of justifications for the person's actions.
