Don't Be Afraid Of Your Anger
Embrace Your Emotions: A Musical Journey of Love and Understanding
Lyrics
Don't be afraid of your anger
Encouraging not to fear expressing anger
I'll eat it with mustard and wine
Metaphorical reference to consuming and accepting anger, adding humor
And the crumbs in your hair
Symbolic crumbs in hair may represent the aftermath or evidence of a conflict
You should shampoo with care
Advising care in dealing with the consequences of expressing emotions
If it's tearless, I'm sure it would say
Suggesting that non-destructive expression of anger can be communicated without tears
And don't be afraid of the language
Encouraging acceptance of strong language in communication
I know you don't mean what you said
Recognizing that spoken words might not reflect true feelings
Well, your tongue can get sharp
Acknowledging the potential for hurtful words but highlighting their softness
But it's soft in my mouth
Contrasting the harshness of words with their gentleness when spoken
And there's towels and ice we could use
Suggesting practical ways (towels and ice) to address emotional wounds
Don't roll your eyes at me slowly
Warning against dismissive gestures during a conflict
I know I was acting the slut
Acknowledging past actions that may have contributed to conflict
When I loosened my belt
Referencing a specific action (loosening belt) that led to a misunderstanding
And said, "I know how you felt"
Expressing understanding and empathy for the other person's feelings
From a book that explained it away
Referring to a book that rationalizes or explains actions to provide context
From a book that explained it away
Repetition for emphasis on seeking understanding through explanation
So don't be afraid of your anger
Reiterating the encouragement to express anger without fear
I'll eat it with mustard and wine
Repeating the metaphor of consuming and accepting anger with humor
And lick the blood off your lip
Describing a physical act (licking blood off lip) as a form of reconciliation
And the bruise on your hip
Addressing physical evidence of conflict (bruise on hip) with humor
When this pillow fight gets out of hand
Anticipating playful conflicts and suggesting the need to manage them
When this pillow fight gets out of hand
Repeating the idea of potential escalation in a pillow fight
