Downpour
Navigating Life's Downpours: Charlie Cunningham's Reflections
Lyrics
If I'd've said, "Why are you still wrapped in your head?"
If I had said, "Why are you still preoccupied with your thoughts?"
Firing questions at the world, looking for the line of sense
Asking probing questions to the world, searching for a logical connection
If nobody sees what you may think they see
If others don't perceive what you believe they do
Never picking you apart, all of it you made believe
Avoiding criticism, embracing illusions you've created
And there's more than one way to get 'round it
Multiple approaches to address a situation
Which voice will today be the loudest?
Contemplating which inner voice will dominate today
Boyhood dreams pulling you down to your knees
Childhood aspirations dragging you down, causing self-doubt
Leave you questioning your worth, anything you once believed
Questioning your value and reconsidering previously held beliefs
Go instead, lie on your back and play dead
Opting to surrender, lying down, and feigning indifference
Never feeling the return, all unsaid
Not experiencing reciprocation, leaving words unspoken
Just how near was I to another downpour, fallen sky?
Reflecting on how close one was to another emotional breakdown or crisis, symbolized by a fallen sky
Old fears goodbye
Bidding farewell to old fears
You'll surely be my downfall in good time
Anticipating that you will eventually be the cause of my downfall
For all I've done, forgive me, please
Seeking forgiveness for all actions committed
The place I long for I hardly see
Expressing a desire for a distant place rarely visited
She said there's always time and a place for this type of thing
Acknowledging that there is an appropriate time and place for certain actions, but it may not be now
Perhaps not now though, I don't think
Uncertain about the suitability of the current moment for a particular action or expression
