Lullaby
City Lights and Broken Battles: Baker Grace's Lullaby Story
Lyrics
I can't see the stars but city lights shine brighter every time I go
I cannot see the stars, but the city lights appear brighter every time I visit.
Welcome to the world where no one sees you for the one you were before
Welcome to a world where people do not recognize you for who you were in the past.
Ready for the battle
Prepared for a challenge or conflict.
Broken, I'm not fragile
Despite being damaged, I am not delicate or easily broken.
Hit into a wall and I climb higher 'til I fall back on the floor
Encountered obstacles, but I persistently strive higher until I inevitably fall back to the ground.
It's like a la-la-la-la by to me, baby
There is a sense of deception or insincerity, expressed with a playful "la-la-la-la" reference.
When you la-la-la-la lie to me, baby
Deception intensifies, leading to a feeling of sadness and solitude.
And it makes me wanna cry like a baby on my own
The deception induces an emotional response, making the speaker feel like crying alone.
So sing a la-la-la-la-by to me, baby
A request for a comforting lullaby despite knowing that lies are being told for protective reasons.
I know you la-la-la-la-lie just to save me
Acknowledgment of the lies told, possibly to shield from unseen dangers.
From the devils we are not even facing
Acknowledging challenges or adversaries not yet confronted.
Far from home
Being distant or disconnected from a place called home.
I tell myself a story of forever when I feel out of control
Creating a narrative of eternal commitment when feeling overwhelmed or lacking control.
Light myself a candle on the nights I can no longer bear the cold
Seeking solace by lighting a candle during difficult, cold nights.
Ready for the battle
Prepared for challenges or conflicts, reiterating resilience.
Broken, I'm not fragile
Despite hardships, the speaker remains strong and unbreakable.
I'm dying and I'm coming back to life while you are begging on your knees
Experiencing a cycle of dying and rejuvenating while others beg for mercy.
It's like a la-la-la-la by to me, baby
Reiteration of a playful "la-la-la-la" reference, suggesting a recurring theme of deception.
When you la-la-la-la lie to me, baby
The intensity of lies deepens, evoking stronger emotional reactions.
And it makes me wanna cry like a baby on my own
The deception induces a desire to cry, emphasizing a sense of isolation.
So sing a la-la-la-la-by to me, baby
Request for a lullaby persists, acknowledging the protective lies told.
I know you la-la-la-la-lie just to save me
Acknowledgment of the lies told, highlighting the intent to protect from unseen dangers.
From the devils we are not even facing
Recognition of challenges or adversaries not yet confronted, emphasizing the distance from home.
Far from home
Feeling far away from the familiar concept of home.
