Play Pretend
Embracing Change: Journey through Life's Turbulence
Lyrics
Our lives, like flowing water, forever thrown into stages of change
Life is constantly changing, akin to flowing water moving through different stages.
The river must duel the rapids before it can rest in the lake
Challenges (rapids) must be faced before reaching a state of tranquility (lake).
Perceptions are conflicted, we waste time fretting what could be
Conflicting perspectives cause us to waste time worrying about potential outcomes.
The first step to understanding madness:
The first step to understanding madness is to recognize and seek remedies for it.
Identify the cures we seek
We need to identify the solutions or cures for the challenges we face.
We’re sinking into nothing, but we can feel it all the way down
Despite a feeling of emptiness, there is a profound awareness and experience.
Giving up on hoping that our feet will ever hit the ground
Abandoning hope of stability or groundedness.
We bite our tongues in the face of god
In the face of uncertainty or adversity, we choose not to speak out against a higher power.
Turn nothing into something
We have the ability to transform nothingness into something meaningful.
We’re not dead yet
Despite challenges, we are still alive and resilient.
We play pretend
We engage in make-believe or pretense, possibly to cope with reality.
Look around and see the glory
Encouragement to appreciate the beauty and positive aspects around us.
Feel the breeze caress your skin
Sensory experience and connection with nature.
We have to come to terms with ourselves
Acceptance of oneself is crucial for personal growth.
Real knowledge blooms from within
True knowledge and understanding come from within.
Our strength is found in weakness
Strength is derived from acknowledging and embracing one's weaknesses.
Push away the thoughts of disgrace
Pushing aside thoughts of shame or humiliation.
Let’s all refuse restriction
Advocating for a rejection of limitations and constraints.
(Find courage)
An encouragement to find courage, possibly to overcome challenges or fears.
I’m too far gone for you to bring me back
An expression of being too distant or damaged to be brought back.
