Done Feeling Down
Rising Above Heartache: Charlotte Kalo's Anthem of Liberation
Lyrics
It´s not that I don´t care
Expressing that the lack of caring isn't intentional
But I can´t find my tears
Unable to cry or express emotions through tears
I might have used them all
Suggesting that all tears might have been used previously
Used them all, that´s why I might seem cold
Resulting in a perceived coldness due to emotional exhaustion
It may not be fair if I act
Recognizing the unfairness if acting based on past love
as my old love´s still here
Acknowledging the lingering feelings from a past relationship
You might have had enough
Implying that the partner might have reached a limit
Had enough, that´s why you´re running cold
Resulting in their withdrawal or emotional distance
I´m just done feeling down
Expressing a resolve to stop feeling depressed
I´m done feeling down
-´Cuz of the ways of a man
Tired of feeling down due to men's behavior or actions
I´m done feeling down
-I´m done feeling down
Reiterating the determination to move away from sadness caused by men
´Cuz of the ways of a man
-You, you, you won´t break me down
Belief in personal strength against being emotionally broken
You, you, you won´t break me down
-It´s not that I hold on
Not holding onto a departed lover
To a lover who´s gone
Acknowledging personal confusion or lack of clarity
I might have been unclear
Resulting in the partner's fear due to unclear signals
Been unclear, that´s why I sense your fear
Conveying frustration with a man's control in relationships
I´ve just had enough of it all
Tired of men exerting control over emotions and happiness
The way a man´s in control
-Of my joy and of my tears
-Of my tears, now tell me, are we clear?
-I´m just done feeling down
Resolving to end the cycle of feeling low emotionally
I´m done feeling down
-´Cuz of the ways of a man
Attributing emotional distress to men's behavior
I´m done feeling down
-I´m done feeling down
Reaffirming the decision to move past the sadness caused by men
´Cuz of the ways of a man
-You, you, you won´t break me down
Asserting resilience against emotional damage caused by others
You, you, you won´t break me down
-Don´t call me queen of ice
Rejecting the label of being emotionally cold
That´s not my crown
-I´m simply done feeling down
-Don´t call me queen of ice
Declaring the decision to move beyond feeling low emotionally
That´s not my crown
-No, I´m simply done feeling down
-You, you, you won´t break me down
Reasserting personal strength against emotional breakdown
You, you, you won´t break me down
-I´m just done feeling down
Reiteration of the resolve to stop feeling emotionally down
I´m done feeling down
-´Cuz of the ways of a man
Attributing the emotional state to men's behavior
I´m done feeling down
-I´m done feeling down
Reiterating the decision to move past emotional distress caused by men
´Cuz of the ways of a man
-You, you, you won´t break me down
Belief in personal resilience against emotional harm
You, you, you won´t break me down
