I Really Try
Struggling with Self-Identity: "I Really Try" by Behind The Machine
Lyrics
Maybe I'm a sad person - maybe I'm a clown
Expressing uncertainty about personal emotional state, suggesting sadness or humor.
A not so very nice person, never bending down
Describing oneself as not very nice and resistant to compromise.
Maybe it's the weather, that creeps into my bones
Suggesting that external factors, like weather, may influence one's mood.
but I try, I really try
Affirming effort despite challenges or difficulties.
What if I'm a bad guy - getting people down
Contemplating the possibility of being a negative influence on others.
A "shooting from my hips" guy - don't care if people drown
Expressing a careless attitude that may have consequences for others.
in the shit I leave behind me - I doubt you see it come,
Acknowledging potential negative impacts left behind, possibly without awareness.
But I try - I really Try!
Reaffirming the commitment to trying despite potential harm caused.
So I'm speaking loud and clearly - for everyone to hear
Asserting the desire to communicate openly and clearly for all to hear.
I keep track of my intentions - pay respect to all that's near.
Stating the intention to be mindful and respectful of those in proximity.
Awareness of pollution - hopefully making my way.
Expressing awareness of environmental issues and the attempt to navigate through them.
Hopefully living my day.
Expressing hope for a positive and fulfilling day despite challenges.
Maybe I'm a sinner - a never-ending joke.
Considering the possibility of being morally flawed or making continuous mistakes.
Just maybe not a winner - I'm standing in a row.
Suggesting a lack of success or victory, being part of a crowd without distinction.
Waiting for the pleasure - each time it will slip,
Waiting for moments of pleasure that may be fleeting or elusive.
But I try - I really try, yes - I try
Reiterating the commitment to trying despite potential setbacks.
So I'm speaking loud and clearly - for everyone to hear
Repeating the desire to communicate openly and clearly for all to hear.
I keep track of my intentions - pay respect to all that's near.
Reaffirming the intention to be mindful and respectful of those in proximity.
Awareness of pollution - hopefully making my way.
Reiterating awareness of environmental issues and the attempt to navigate through them.
So I'm speaking loud and clearly - for everyone to hear
Emphasizing the commitment to open and clear communication for all to hear.
I keep track of my intentions - pay respect to all that's near.
Reiterating the commitment to being mindful and respectful of those in proximity.
Awareness of pollution - hopefully making my way.
Reiterating awareness of environmental issues and the attempt to navigate through them.
Hopefully living my day?
Pondering the hope for a positive and fulfilling day, leaving it as a question.
