When I Cave
Embracing Change: Unveiling Life's Struggles and Triumphs
Lyrics
Change
Change is being addressed, likely in terms of personal growth or alteration.
My repertoire
The collection of skills or abilities possessed.
'Cause baby
An affectionate or endearing term, possibly directed at someone close.
I'm meant for more
Implying a feeling of being destined or designed for something greater.
My timing
Referring to one's sense of timing or the ability to act at the right moment.
Is not always the best
An admission that timing isn’t consistently ideal.
To lay
Putting certain issues or emotions to rest or resolving them.
These things to rest
Planting the beginnings of change within oneself.
Sowing the seed of change in me
Awareness of the price or consequences linked with growing and maturing.
Knowing the cost of maturity
Recognition of both positive and negative actions in one’s past.
'Cause I've been bad
Expressing adherence to expected behaviors.
And I've been good
Unresolved connections or tasks from the past.
Doing most of the things
Adulthood is challenging, failure is emotionally distressing.
That I know I should
Warns of repercussions if personal improvement doesn’t occur.
But what about the rest
A repetition, emphasizing the need for change and improvement.
Severed ties, unfinished business
Feeling restrained or trapped while trying to slow down.
Growing up is hard but failure feels like shit
Struggling with overwhelming emotions, leading to submission or anger.
You best be better boy, or you're gonna
Uncertainty about the emotional outcome by day's end.
Pay for it
An expression of deception or falsehood regarding a situation.
Change
Repeated lines emphasizing deception or falsehood.

-When I proceed to lose some speed

-Well, hopefully neither but I really can't say
-I'll fool you once and then they'll
-Take me away
-I swear this never happens
-I'm lying through my teeth
-I swear this never happens
