Reflections on Life's Currents: Just Need To by emmersonHALL
Lyrics
When you grow up looking at the powerlines
Reflecting on childhood, observing powerlines as symbols of influence.
You think about it every day
Constant contemplation about the powerlines, suggesting their significant impact.
How thirteen thousand watts would feel
Imagining the intense power (watts) and its potential effect on the mind.
Coursing through your brain
Describing the electric power flowing through the brain, possibly metaphorical.
When you've never thought of something
Forgetting things that are not actively considered, emphasizing distraction.
You forget it's even there
Highlighting the tendency to overlook one's future and responsibilities.
When I think about my future
The speaker's lack of concern or consideration for their own future.
I forget I'm supposed to care
Expressing a sense of detachment or indifference towards societal expectations.
Watch the geese go back and forth again
Observing geese as a metaphor for confusion or lack of direction.
They all seem so confused
Perceiving confusion in others, possibly relating to life's uncertainties.
No one knows when winter will come
Reflecting on the uncertainty of the future, specifically the arrival of winter.
Not anymore anyway
Suggesting the unpredictability of seasonal changes in the present era.
Sometimes I wonder how they feel
Wondering about the emotions and experiences of others, perhaps feeling detached.
Moving two steps behind
Being behind in life, possibly feeling a sense of lag or delay.
I often wonder how I feel
Reflecting on personal feelings, asserting a state of overall well-being.
I think I'm mostly fine
Conveying a positive self-assessment, contrasting with the speaker's indifference.
I stare across the pasture
Gazing at the surrounding life, suggesting a contemplative mood.
And all the life out there
Perceiving vitality and existence in the environment, despite stillness.
Though it's still and empty
Recognizing the emptiness but finding personal significance in it.
There's enough for me to say that I'd care
Claiming a personal connection to the emptiness and stillness.
If someone burned the whole thing down
Expressing a hypothetical scenario of destruction, testing personal values.
I'd beg them to stop and I'd cry
Describing a potential emotional response to destruction, showing vulnerability.
I almost burned this whole thing down
Revealing a personal struggle with destructive impulses, a past conflict.
But I promised myself I'd try
Committing to personal growth and resilience, despite past challenges.
