Navigating Shadows: Finding Hope in Church Girls' Colorado
Lyrics
I asked you what’s the point of it all?
I questioned the purpose or significance of everything.
The shadows are longer and i think it’s my fault
I feel responsible for the growing sense of darkness or negativity.
Used to blame the weather, or something i did
I used to attribute my struggles to external factors like weather or my actions, but this time I can't find a specific cause.
But this time I can’t point to anything
Currently, there's no identifiable reason for the emotional turmoil.
Was Thanksgiving always this way?
I reflect on whether Thanksgiving has always been this difficult.
She said this year let’s just skip the holidays
Someone suggests skipping holidays this year to avoid emotional challenges.
Promise me we won’t end up like them
A plea to promise not to end up like others who struggle during holidays.
Cause I just couldn’t handle it
Expressing inability to handle a situation similar to those struggling during holidays.
Once I’m nine days dry and sleeping straight through the night
After a period of abstinence and restful sleep, routine tasks are resumed.
Rise up early again and sweep the floorboards of my head
Morning routine involves clearing mental clutter and starting fresh.
Walk the pine needle floor and my legs are shot but somehow I push on
Despite fatigue, perseverance is maintained, possibly in facing challenges.
This cycle of wanting I made for myself
The self-imposed cycle of desire contrasts with conventional wisdom.
Doesn’t fall in with all the things that I’ve read
The desires conflict with the knowledge acquired from reading.
And the beatnik threads bouncing around in my head
References to beatnik threads in the mind, possibly representing unconventional thoughts.
I’m thinking I deserve
Feeling deserving of a self-inflicted challenge or hardship.
This masochistic stunt
Describing a potentially painful or challenging experience as a stunt.
But the way the sun punctuates
The sun's presence highlights the beauty in nature, possibly contrasting with inner struggles.
The deep green leaves
Observing nature's beauty, particularly the deep green leaves.
And how this song always kills me
A specific song triggers strong emotions, possibly melancholy.
Makes me think I could be alright this time
The emotional impact of the song makes the speaker believe they could be okay this time.
Could be alright this time
Expressing hope or optimism about the possibility of being okay this time.
Be alright this time
Reiteration of the hope for things to be okay.
Be alright this time
Continuing the expression of optimism and hope for a positive outcome.
