Self Defense
Unveiling the Depths of Self-Defense Emotions
Lyrics
As we fought just to escape
Struggling to break free from a situation
Or was it to get close
Questioning whether the fight was to create intimacy
Why I pushed him back inside
Uncertainty about why someone was pushed back indoors
I still don't truly know
Confusion persists about the true motivation behind the action
I say it was Self defense
Repeated assertion of the act being self-defense, perhaps to convince oneself or others
Say that it was Self defense
-Say it was Self defense
-Say it was Self defense
-I think I'm safe, I see the door
Feeling safe initially but encountering distressing noises
but then I hear him cry
Hearing distressing cries that unsettle the sense of safety
I look over my shoulder
Turning to look and being horrified by what's seen
And am horrified at what I find
Shock and horror at the sight witnessed
I tell you it was self defense
Repeatedly swearing and affirming the action as self-defense
I swear that it was self defense
-Yeah, it was self defense
-I swear that it was self defense
-Even though you eat me now
Recognizing that sustaining someone's needs now may not prevent their future harm
I know someday you will starve
Realizing that despite care, there might come a time when the cared-for may suffer
Even after all this time
Despite the passage of time, acknowledgment that fundamental aspects of someone might not change
I can't change who you are
Acceptance of inability to alter someone's core nature
Even though I feed you now
Continuing to provide sustenance despite the knowledge of future deprivation
You know someday you will starve
Realizing that despite support, there might be future deprivation
Even after all this time
Admitting the persistence of someone's unchangeable nature despite efforts
I can't fix who you are
Acknowledging the inability to repair someone's inherent nature
