Oak Would
Rebirth of Memories: Nostalgic Echoes in charliewithasemicolon's 'Oak Would'
Lyrics
I need to really feel the fucking emotions of this you know
I desire to genuinely experience the intense emotions of this situation.
I saw my groomer's mom walking her dogs
I observed the mother of the person who abused me casually walking her dogs.
I thought they moved away Guess I was wrong
I thought they (the abuser and their family) had moved away, but I was mistaken.
Went to the bike path where we used to hang out
I visited the bike path where we used to spend time together.
It's overgrown with a fresh coat of paint now
The place has changed, overgrown, and now has a fresh coat of paint.
I feel just like the old playground
I identify with the old playground, a symbol of the past.
The one that they're planning to take down
They are planning to demolish the old playground.
Falling apart broken and torn
Metaphorically, I feel like the old playground - falling apart, broken, and torn.
But I'll be rebuilt and I'll be reborn
Despite the struggles, I will be rebuilt and reborn.
The library down the block has been renovated
The nearby library has undergone renovation.
They knocked down the band room so they can replace it
They demolished the band room to replace it with something new.
Lived in this house since halfway through third grade
I've lived in my current house since the middle of third grade.
Halfway through college I'm moving away
Now, halfway through college, I am moving away.
I feel just like the old playground
Similar to the old playground, I sense my own decay.
The one that they're planning to take down
The old playground is marked for demolition.
Falling apart broken and torn
Despite being in disrepair, I will be rebuilt and reborn.
But I'll be rebuilt and I'll be reborn
Continuation of the theme of personal growth and resilience.
I might miss the way things were
I might miss the past, acknowledging the nostalgia for how things used to be.
But I cried listening to "Breathing Song" by Samia
I experienced emotional pain listening to "Breathing Song" by Samia.
After visiting the dead end
Emotional impact after reaching a dead end, possibly in life.
Where we rode a fuckboy's skateboard down the hill
Recalling a moment riding a skateboard down a hill with someone undesirable.
If I don't skip town now I never will
Considering leaving town to avoid stagnation.
Cuz I feel just like the old playground
I still feel like the old playground, facing its impending removal.
The one that they're planning to take down
Despite decay, I will undergo renewal and transformation.
Falling apart broken and torn
Reiteration of the theme of resilience despite challenges.
But I'll be rebuilt and I'll be reborn
Reassurance that I will be rebuilt and reborn.
I'll be rebuilt and I'll be reborn
Emphasizing the idea of rebuilding and rebirth.
I'll be rebuilt and I'll be reborn
Reiteration of the resolve to be rebuilt and reborn.
