Strawberry Lemonade
Searching for Redemption in Strawberry Lemonade's Bittersweet Symphony
Lyrics
One, Two, Three
Expression of a countdown or progression.
Why everyone got to lean on me?
Feeling burdened by others leaning on the speaker.
Oh Lord I been trying but it's clear I see
Despite efforts, the speaker faces challenges.
You give your strongest soldiers the longest struggles
Struggles are given to the strongest individuals.
Look for light in the tunnel but I need Visine
Searching for clarity or insight but needing help.
To clear the bigger picture
Advocating for a broader perspective.
Or maybe a step back will give more focus to this art I view
Stepping back for a clearer view of life as art.
Lately it feels more like The Art of War
Life feels like a constant battle or struggle.
Every time I try to garner my next breakthrough
Difficulties in achieving the next breakthrough.
I been trying to play the hero
Attempting to be a hero despite personal challenges.
I know I'm turning heel
Turning away from goodness or positive actions.
Ain't feeling quite 100
Feeling less than optimal or not at full strength.
I'm just trying to keep it real
Expressing authenticity and honesty.
Oh uh uh oh
Exclamation expressing a realization or emotion.
Long days got me tired
Fatigue from long, challenging days.
But at least I feel
Despite exhaustion, there is a sense of feeling.
Burnt myself on the fire
Having faced challenges or risks.
Trying to reinvent the wheel
Struggling to innovate or create something new.
Oh uh uh oh
Repetition of exclamation for emphasis.
And I'd really like to see
Expressing anticipation for something desired.
Just what I been waiting for
Repetition of the desire to see and achieve something.
And I'd really like to see
-Just what I been waiting for
-And I'd really like to be the best I can
Desiring personal excellence despite difficulties.
But it's hard to keep pushing
Struggling to persist, seeking support.
Can you take my hand?
Request for assistance or connection.
Oh uh uh ooh
Repetition of an emotional expression.
I really just need a second chance
Seeking another opportunity to succeed.
How'd my momma love to see her man at the dance
Reflecting on a desire to make a loved one proud.
Oh uh uh ooh
Repetition of emotional expression.
And I'll keep on looking
Continuing the search for something more.
Oh I'll keep on looking for more
-But somehow I been losing
Expressing a sense of losing oneself or identity.
Somehow I been losing my soul
-Where'd it go?
Repetition of questioning the disappearance of the self.
Where'd it go?
-Where'd it go?
-Hmmm
Expression of contemplation or reflection.
Take a look at the mess I made
Reflecting on personal mistakes or challenges.
Where's the glory to the story of the escapade
Questioning the significance of past experiences.
Oh Lord it hurts
Expressing emotional pain or suffering.
I'm dying of thirst
Metaphorical thirst for something fulfilling.
Need a taste of that strawberry lemonade
Desire for a refreshing and enjoyable experience.
Can I get a sip?
Expressing a longing for a small taste or experience.
Uh oh
-Or maybe just a drip
-I been trying to play the hero
Repetition of the internal struggle to be genuine.
I know I turning heel
-Ain't feeling quite 100
-I'm just trying to keep it real
-Oh uh uh oh
Repetition of fatigue and challenges in innovation.
Long days got me tired
-But at least I feel
-Burnt myself on the fire
-Trying to reinvent the wheel
-Oh uh uh oh
Repetition of the desire to see and achieve something.
And I'd really like to see
Continuing the anticipation for something desired.
Just what I been waiting for
-And I'd really like to see
-Just what I been waiting for
-Waiting for
Repetition of waiting for a significant event or change.
Oh oh
Expressing the anticipation or realization of the awaited moment.
