A Bit of Previous
Eternal Reflections: Navigating Life's Labyrinth in 'A Bit of Previous'
Lyrics
I want to climb inside a work of art
I desire to immerse myself in a piece of artwork
I want to get away from all your comments that are barbed
I wish to escape from your hurtful comments
And just because you're getting older
Simply aging doesn't guarantee increased intelligence
Doesn't mean you're getting clever
Advancing in age doesn't necessarily make one smarter
Just because you've got the high ground
Having a superior position doesn't equate to enjoyment
Doesn't mean you're at the fairground
Being in a dominant position doesn't guarantee a good time
And just because you're ground down to a halt
Being worn down doesn't justify lashing out with held grudges
It doesn't mean you have to throw the stone you always hold
Experiencing a standstill doesn't excuse throwing metaphorical stones
Just because you're getting older
Growing older doesn't guarantee gaining wisdom
Doesn't mean you're getting wiser
Age doesn't necessarily bring increased wisdom
Just because you've got the high ground
Having the upper hand doesn't mean having the most fun
Doesn't mean you have the most fun
Being in a dominant position doesn't ensure the most enjoyment
I want to hide inside a piece of you
I wish to find refuge within a part of you
(I want to hide inside a piece of you)
(Repeated line: "I want to hide inside a piece of you")
In the longest run, I am your mother and your child
In the grand scheme, I am both your parent and your offspring
Beaten by the force that assails you
Defeated by the challenges that confront you
Your so-called friends have surely failed you
Your supposed friends have let you down
Some come back from the edge of crazy
Some recover from the brink of madness
And come back from the edge of envy
And return from the brink of jealousy
