Less of Me
Navigating Shadows: Eric Pedigo's Soulful Quest for Self-Acceptance
Lyrics
It's been a long time coming
Expressing that a significant amount of time has passed since a particular event or situation.
There's no use in trying
Suggesting that attempting to change the outcome is futile.
trying to hide
Acknowledging the futility of trying to conceal something.
I spent a long time running
Indicating a prolonged period spent avoiding confrontation or facing a challenge.
Afraid you might see through
Expressing fear that others may discern the true self hidden behind a facade.
My disguise
Referring to the disguise or persona adopted to conceal one's true feelings or identity.
Would you think less of me
Posing a question about how the person's perception would change if the truth were revealed.
As I balance on the beam
Describing a delicate situation of maintaining a balance between self-perception and desired identity.
Of who you think I am and who I want to be
Reflecting on the contrast between the perceived self and the desired self.
Well I've been, I've been trying
Indicating efforts and struggles undertaken to achieve a particular goal or state.
I've been trying so hard
Emphasizing the intensity and sincerity of the efforts made.
If I need some help to carry the weight
Suggesting a willingness to seek assistance when burdened by challenges.
Would you think less of me
Reiterating the concern about potential judgment based on vulnerability.
Was it a product of hard living
Questioning whether difficult experiences have shaped the current situation.
Is it a fault of mine
Pondering if certain traits or circumstances are inherent flaws.
by design
Raising the possibility of intentional choices leading to the present circumstances.
All this time I've given
Highlighting the considerable time invested in a particular pursuit.
Is there enough left to redefine
Questioning the potential for redefining oneself with the remaining resources.
Would you think less of me
Repeating the earlier question about altered perceptions if the truth were revealed.
As I balance on the beam
Reiterating the challenge of balancing self-perception and desired identity.
Of who you think I am and who I want to be
Recalling the ongoing struggle to reconcile the perceived self and the desired self.
Well I've been, I've been trying
Reemphasizing the persistent efforts and attempts made to achieve a particular state.
I've been trying so hard
Reinforcing the intensity and dedication put into the ongoing efforts.
If I need some help to carry the weight
Expressing a willingness to seek support in dealing with the burdensome aspects of life.
Would you think less of me
Repeating the concern about potential judgment based on vulnerability.
So this is where I am
Stating the current state of being and expressing acceptance of it.
And that's alright by me
Affirming contentment with the present situation.
So this is where I am
Repeating the acknowledgment of the current state of being.
Just trying to find my peace
Conveying the ongoing quest for inner tranquility and harmony.
