Call It a Day
Embracing Change: A Soul's Journey through Life's Weight
Lyrics
Well everybody's watching
Observers are paying attention.
And they'll watch me as I fall
People will witness my downfall.
Everybody's watching
Continuation of the awareness and scrutiny.
And they're watching me as I fall
Reiteration of being observed during a challenging time.
Seems like they wouldn't have time
Surprise that others find time to focus on personal struggles.
To watch me at all
Expressing disbelief at the attention received.
The bricks are piled high
Mention of a heavy burden symbolized by piled bricks.
They're weighing heavy on my chest
Emphasizing the weight on the speaker's chest.
Yes yes
Confirmation or agreement with the heavy feeling.
Well the bricks are piled high
Repetition of the burden and its impact.
They're weighing heavy on my chest
Sense that the world is curious about the speaker's struggles.
Sometimes it seems like
Reflecting on the perception that others want to know what remains.
The world just wants to know what I have left
Acknowledging the challenging nature of the world.
Call it a day, call it a day
Suggesting the desire to end the day or a situation.
Call it anything at all til it feels ok
Expressing a need to label or categorize the experience for comfort.
Unafraid, unashamed
Asserting a lack of fear or shame in facing consequences.
Of the places that I've been
Acknowledging past actions and their resulting chaos.
And the mess that I've made
Accepting responsibility for the mess created.
Sometimes being brave means walking away
Sometimes, bravery involves walking away from a situation.
Call it a day
Reiteration of the desire to conclude a challenging period.
There's a battle being fought
Acknowledging an ongoing internal or external conflict.
I hear the cries of the war
Hearing the emotional distress of the ongoing battle.
Oh oh
Reiteration of the intense struggle and its impact.
There's a battle being fought
Confirmation of the ongoing battle and its toll.
I hear the lonely cries of the war
Acknowledging the loneliness associated with the conflict.
When the last bell tolls
Referencing a symbolic moment of reckoning or reflection.
I'll be remembered by what I was fighting for
Expectation of being remembered for the fight's purpose.
Call it a day, call it a day
Reiteration of the desire to conclude a challenging period.
Call it anything at all til it feels ok
Expressing a need to label or categorize the experience for comfort.
Unafraid, unashamed
Asserting a lack of fear or shame in facing consequences.
Of the places that I've been
Acknowledging past actions and their resulting chaos.
And the mess that I've made
Accepting responsibility for the mess created.
Sometimes being brave means walking away
Sometimes, bravery involves walking away from a situation.
Call it a day
Reiteration of the desire to conclude a challenging period.
Sometimes being brave means walking away
Emphasizing that courage can mean choosing to walk away.
Call it a day
Reaffirmation of the desire to end or conclude a difficult time.
