True
Embracing Truth: Concrete Blonde's Resilient Journey Through Life
Lyrics
When I've had enough
Expressing a point of reaching a limit or saturation.
I'll get a pickup truck and I'll drive away
Contemplating escaping or leaving, symbolized by getting a pickup truck and driving away.
I'll take my last ten bucks just as far as it will go
Utilizing the last available resources (ten bucks) to go as far as possible.
Sometimes I'm easily fooled
Admitting vulnerability to deception or manipulation.
I take a painful step and I get knocked back two
Encountering setbacks despite making efforts.
I do what I can and it's all I can do
Doing one's best with the available means.
But I'm true
Stating the commitment to authenticity or staying true to oneself.
And if I had the choice I'd take the voice I got
Expressing contentment with one's own voice and identity.
Cause it was hard to find
Highlighting the difficulty in finding one's authentic self.
You know I've come too far to wind up right back where I started
Emphasizing progress and the desire to avoid regression.
And they tell me who I should be
Resisting external influence on personal identity.
I'll never let those monkeys make a mess of me
Rejecting societal expectations and avoiding being misled.
I give all I am and it's all I can do
Giving all of oneself within personal limitations.
But I'm true
Reiterating the commitment to authenticity.
One more sunset
Symbolizing the end of a day, possibly a metaphor for life challenges.
Lay my head down
Expressing a desire for rest or relief.
True
Reaffirming authenticity or staying true to oneself.
One more sunrise
Symbolizing the start of a new day, representing hope and renewal.
Open my eyes up
Expressing a readiness to face the challenges of a new day.
True
Reiterating the commitment to authenticity.
And then they talk you up and then they talk you down
Describing the conflicting opinions and judgments received from others.
And you begin to doubt
Expressing doubt and confusion in the face of external pressures.
Sometimes the reasons seem so very far away
Noting that reasons for actions may seem distant or unclear.
But I'd stop breathing today
Asserting a commitment to authenticity even if it means facing dire consequences.
Cause if I can't walk proud, I'd rather walk away
Choosing self-respect and personal integrity over compromise.
I do all I am and it's all I can do
Doing the best within personal limitations.
But I'm true
Reaffirming the commitment to authenticity.
I'd give all I am and I'd give it to you
Willing to give all of oneself to maintain authenticity.
True
Reiterating the truth and authenticity of the self.
So true
Affirming the genuine nature of the self.
