up again
Rising from Ashes: Babie Julez's Journey of Self-Rediscovery in 'Up Again'
Lyrics
i've been driving on empty
Feeling emotionally drained or exhausted, possibly due to challenges or hardships.
hate to admit it and i know they say that i'm naive
Acknowledging criticism or skepticism from others about being too trusting or optimistic.
but i'm the only one that's been there to pick myself up again get my hopes up yet again
Expressing self-reliance and resilience, being the one to lift oneself up despite setbacks and disappointments.
and i miss the old me
Nostalgia for a past version of oneself, indicating a sense of loss or change.
one who didn't give a damn or let anything spoil her peace
Desiring a return to a carefree attitude, unaffected by external disturbances.
she'd stay outside, toes in the grass, with her head way up high
Recalling a carefree past where the speaker enjoyed nature and maintained a positive outlook.
little bird fly
Symbolizing freedom and the desire to break free from constraints, represented by a bird.
and even if the world turns and tries to prove me wrong
Remaining steadfast in one's beliefs despite challenges or attempts to prove them wrong.
I'm goin back to where i started before my heart was stung by the big man, bad friends, contest
Returning to a point in life before negative experiences with authority figures, bad friends, and competitions.
i give n you take theres no even exchange
Highlighting an imbalance in a relationship, with the speaker feeling like they give more than they receive.
i'll be all that you want when it's all said and done
Committing to being the best version of oneself in the future.
I'm always the best thing someone missed out on
Recognizing personal value and expressing confidence in being a desirable person.
maybe i'm better off
Contemplating the possibility of being better off without certain elements or relationships.
i saw an old picture
Reflecting on a past moment captured in a photograph.
n i'm nauseated i looked so happy then
Feeling discomfort or unease about the happiness seen in the old picture.
i'm feeling guilty i did something bad
Admitting guilt for past actions, possibly contributing to the unease mentioned earlier.
(how are these the best years i'm supposed to have?)
Questioning the idea that the current phase of life should be the best years.
cnd even if the world turns and tries to prove me wrong
Reiterating the determination to return to a more positive and authentic self despite external pressures.
I'm goin back to where i started before my heart was stung by the big man, bad friends, contest
Reaffirming the decision to go back to a point before negative experiences affected the speaker.
i give n you take theres no even exchange
Re-emphasizing the imbalance in relationships where the speaker gives more than receives.
i'll be all that you want when it's all said and done
Committing again to being the best version of oneself in the future.
I'm always the best thing someone missed out on
Reasserting personal value and confidence in being a desirable person.
maybe i'm better off
Revisiting the contemplation of being better off without certain elements or relationships.
so i'll draw on the walls
Engaging in unconventional or rebellious behavior, possibly as a form of self-expression.
i'll wear clothes that don't match
Choosing to express individuality through unconventional clothing choices.
n i'll smile n i'll talk n i'll let myself laugh
Deciding to embrace joy and laughter, regardless of external circumstances.
I'm always the best thing someone missed out on
Reiterating personal value and expressing confidence in being a desirable person.
maybe i'm better off
Revisiting the contemplation of being better off without certain elements or relationships.
