Embracing Life's Lessons: 'Closed Shoulder' by Boy Named Sue
Lyrics
I've been thinking a lot about death and where I belong
I've been contemplating death and my place in the world.
And I've been meaning to exist, I just don't know what that is
I've intended to exist, but I'm uncertain about what that truly means.
I've been holding on too tight
I've been holding on tightly to something.
I've been holding on to you
I've been holding on to you (someone or something specific).
I've been burned once or twice, I need to hear some sound advice
I've experienced pain before and seek wise advice.
What do you have for me?
Asking for guidance or assistance.
Are they dreams or make believe?
Questioning if the guidance received is real or imaginary.
And I've been meaning to exist
I've intended to exist, but the exact meaning eludes me.
I just don't know exactly what that means, or is
Expressing uncertainty about the meaning of existence.
I'm holding on too tight
Still holding on tightly to something.
I need to take my own advice
Recognizing the need to follow one's own advice.
I'm no longer holding on
No longer holding on tightly; ready for a change.
I need to break, I need to fall
Expressing the need to break free and experience a fall or change.
Need to learn from my mistakes
Recognizing the importance of learning from past mistakes.
Know how to appreciate
Emphasizing the need to appreciate life.
I've been holding on for too long
Acknowledging holding on for too long.
I need a drink
Expressing a desire for a break, possibly through a drink.
I need to crawl
Feeling the need to crawl, perhaps symbolizing humility or starting anew.
Need to learn from my mistakes and know how to appreciate
Reiterating the importance of learning from mistakes and appreciating life.
I've been holding on for too long
Acknowledging the prolonged holding on.
I need a break
Expressing the need for a break or change.
I need to go home
Expressing a desire to go home, seeking comfort or a return to familiarity.
Filled in some lines and made some space
Creating space for self-reflection or new experiences.
I now know how to appreciate
Concluding with the realization of how to appreciate life.
