Little By Little
Unveiling Life's Mosaic: Chris Ballew's Journey in 'Little By Little'
Lyrics
I negotiate freedom I sever the thread
I actively negotiate for my freedom, severing ties.
detach from the tedium I can see myself dead
I distance myself from monotony and can envision my own demise.
(little by little) I'll calm the hooligans
I gradually pacify unruly elements or chaos.
(little by little) they'll change their tune
Incrementally, those causing trouble will change their behavior.
(little by little) I am the fool again
I repeatedly find myself being foolish.
(little by little) that's why I'm screwed
My repeated mistakes make me feel screwed or in trouble.
my love gets amplified fear flees the scene
My love intensifies, and fear disappears.
all the gods feel glorified they got the new vaccine
Deities feel satisfied, possibly referencing a solution to problems.
(little by little) intentions will crumble
Gradual deterioration of intentions.
(little by little) when the plot is erased
Plans are erased, leading to confusion.
(little by little) defenders will fumble
Defenders falter as security is compromised.
(little by little) when they feel unsafe
Insecurity leads to mistakes and fumbling.
I refresh my senses the new reality
I refresh my awareness of the present reality.
this cage is senseless I gotta pay to be free
The current situation feels like an unnecessary constraint.
(little by little) I disrupt all the patterns
I disrupt established patterns gradually.
(little by little) throw out the map
I disregard conventions and established norms.
(little by little) I don't ask for permission
I act without seeking permission.
(little by little) don't really give a crap
I don't care much about societal expectations.
light up the dark tunnel for my getaway
I illuminate the dark path for my escape.
I see my troubles double during my great escape
Troubles intensify during the attempt to escape.
(little by little) I draw these imperfect circles
I draw imperfect circles, symbolizing acceptance of imperfections.
(little by little) I say yes to the cake
I agree to indulge in life's pleasures (symbolized by the cake).
(little by little) got good advice from Steve Urkle
Received advice from Steve Urkel, possibly humorously referencing pop culture.
(little by little) I will forget my mistake
I'll gradually overcome my mistakes.
I wanna feel the sensation to deny the cheater
I desire the feeling of rejecting a cheater.
I wanna comfort my devils in my security theater
I seek solace in my own secure environment despite inner conflicts.
(little by little) I keep finding all the land mines
I continually encounter unexpected challenges.
(little by little) left over from the fight
Remnants of past conflicts still affect me.
(little by little) I keep tearing up prescriptions
I discard prescriptions or expectations for a perfect life.
(little by little) for the perfect life
I reject the pursuit of an idealized life in small increments.
little by little
The process of change happens bit by bit.
