Sit 'n' Bounce
Unveiling Life's Boulder: Carly Cosgrove's Sit 'n' Bounce
Lyrics
I made it work this summer
The speaker managed to make things function during this summer.
I got out of my own way
They overcame their own obstacles or self-imposed limitations.
Neglected what was hectic to respect my day to day
They neglected chaotic elements to prioritize their daily routine.
With lifted intuition
They had heightened intuition or awareness.
Antennas to the ground
They were highly receptive or sensitive to their surroundings.
And at the culmination of this heady contemplation, maybe
After deep thought, they might be stuck in a cycle of repetition or confusion.
I’m chasing my tail around
They feel caught in a cycle of chasing their own tail, unable to progress.
What’s the point if I can’t use it?
Questioning the purpose if they can't utilize their progress.
What’s the point if I’m the same?
Questioning personal growth if they remain unchanged.
Did I entertain delusion and go back the way I came?
Wondering if they deluded themselves and regressed.
Is growth reserved for sitcoms?
Wondering if growth is only for entertainment or superficial.
Or people who pretend to care?
Questioning authenticity in people who claim to care.
And is it worse to think you’re cured or cursed beyond repair?
Debating if it's worse to believe you've recovered or irreversibly damaged.
I’ve got this neighbor
Describing an obstinate, immovable person in their life.
He’s a boulder
Emphasizing the neighbor's solid and unchanging nature.
He’s so stubborn
Highlighting the neighbor's stubbornness.
He doesn’t move
Emphasizing the neighbor's lack of mobility.
I’ve been pushing
The speaker tried to influence or change this neighbor.
That fucking boulder
Expressing frustration towards this unchanging neighbor.
He’s going nowhere
Noting the neighbor's lack of progress despite efforts.
He’s in a mood
The neighbor is in a fixed or unyielding state.
Did I get better or just better at hiding?
Reflecting on personal improvement versus becoming better at hiding flaws.
This excuse takes a lot of effort and I hope that you like it.
Admitting to creating elaborate excuses and hoping they are accepted.
Don’t go. Don’t go. Go back.
Expressing a plea or desire for someone not to leave.
Don’t take the peace of me
Asking someone not to take away their peace or stability.
I’ve got this neighbor
Reiteration of the description of the stubborn neighbor.
He’s a boulder
Continuing to emphasize the neighbor's immovability.
He’s so stubborn
Reiterating the neighbor's obstinacy.
He doesn’t move
Reiterating the neighbor's lack of movement.
I’m pushing
Expressing continued efforts to change the neighbor.
That fucking boulder
Reiterating frustration with the unchanging neighbor.
He’s going nowhere
Reiterating the neighbor's lack of progress despite efforts.
What’s the use
Questioning the utility of continued attempts to change the neighbor.
Cause when I’m looking
Noticing a potential turning point or a difficult situation.
I see a corner
Wondering if this turning point involves the stubborn neighbor.
Is it the boulder
Questioning if the neighbor will cause harm or setbacks.
Back to bruise?
It’s stupid
Acknowledging the irrationality of fearing the neighbor when they're not around.
to fear the boulder
Reflecting on the irrationality of their fear concerning the neighbor.
While I don’t see him
Thinking they perceive the neighbor even when absent.
I think I do
Feeling the presence of the neighbor despite their absence.
