Unexpected Traffic
Navigating Life's Unexpected Traffic: A Song's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
I have hit this stage before
I've experienced this situation previously.
I have waltzed through closing doors
I've confidently walked away from opportunities.
Convinced myself that I am free
I've convinced myself of freedom, perhaps self-delusion.
Minutes after heavy rain
Shortly after a heavy rain, a metaphor for challenges.
When the sun comes out again
The sun's return signifies hope and change.
To rearrange the sky over me
An optimistic view of reshaping one's world.
The trouble comes on
Challenges arise suddenly.
In a flood of fear
Fear overwhelms like a flood.
Like unexpected traffic
Unexpected obstacles, likened to traffic.
Where even a smile
Even a confident smile betrays vulnerability.
Of strength appears
The unexpected turns tragic, disrupting plans.
Unexpectedly tragic
I have hit this stage before
Reiteration of experiencing similar situations.
I've exhausted myself for
I've exhausted myself in pursuit of authenticity.
A chance to get at something real
Striving for something real, despite challenges.
Finger picking my guitar
Engaging in personal expression through music.
Out here on the road doing my own thing
On the road, pursuing individuality and freedom.
Convinced myself I'm free
Reiteration of convincing oneself of freedom.
