For You
Embracing Pain: Navigating Life's Depths with Billy Grimes
Lyrics
I know I only talk about the bad times but
I frequently focus on negative aspects in conversations
It's kind of hard to see the good when your life sucks
It's challenging to appreciate the positive when life feels difficult
Kind of hard to escape when the doors shut
Escaping becomes tough when opportunities are limited
On the floor stuck it's your brake pedal
Feeling stuck and helpless like being pressed on the brake pedal
And they don't feel your pain gotta speak Braille
Others may not understand your pain unless you express it clearly
Gotta derail
Need to divert from the usual path
The train yo self
Take control of your own situation
Cause if they hurt you
If others cause you pain
Then it's pain times twelve
The pain multiplies
And that equation helped you
You can overcome it by understanding the equation
Save yo self
Save yourself from further harm
If you want to know the reason
If you seek the reason
You won't ever receive it
You may never find it
That's a double entendre
An expression with double meanings
A metaphor for the grieving
A metaphorical representation of grief
A metal heart for the pieces
A heart made of metal for the shattered pieces
That were broken and lost
Referring to broken and lost pieces
You'd think I was tossed
Feeling discarded like thrown into the ocean
Inside of the ocean
Surrounded by challenges and dangers
Surrounded by sharks
Wanting to discuss positive experiences
I want to talk about the good times but
Difficulty in finding a starting point
I don't know where to start
(Empty line, no interpretation provided)
I guess a broken heart bleeds pain though
A broken heart symbolizes pain
Tried to give me a coat but I stayed cold
Resisting comfort, choosing to endure pain
My emotions cut off
Emotions suppressed or disconnected
I know that you prayed that I'd grow soft
Others hoped for emotional softening
But the truth is
Difficulty admitting loneliness
I just couldn't admit I was lonely
Hiding the pain from others
I couldn't tell you I was hurting
Unable to express internal suffering
Like I promise I'm fine
Assuring others of well-being despite inner struggles
Please just give me a moment
Requesting a moment to cope
I promise I'm growing
Commitment to personal growth
I promise I'm changing
Promising positive transformation
I promised these things but I never changed it
Falling short of promises, leading to mutual hurt
Now we've both end up hurt
Both parties now experiencing pain
I bet you probably worse
Speculating the other person's pain is worse
Cause you never meant what I meant to you
The emotional significance wasn't reciprocated
And that's such a strong statement
An acknowledgment of a powerful statement
But it's time that I face it
Recognizing the need to confront reality
Love and let go
Encouragement to love and release
But if you let go then don't chase them
If you choose to let go, avoid pursuing them again
