Go, Hippie
Free-Spirited Trials: The Hidden Struggles of a Hippie
Lyrics
Go, hippie
Encouragement to the hippie to go or proceed.
Skip down the old road
Encouraging the hippie to walk along the familiar path.
Don't even see me, do you at all
Noticed by the speaker, but the hippie seems oblivious or indifferent.
Some days you get so tired of hanging
Expressing weariness with the routine or monotony of life.
Trying to deep-fry all your boredom
Attempting to alleviate boredom through unconventional methods.
Big hippie
Referring to the hippie as a larger-than-life figure.
This day was so slow
Describing a slow and uneventful day.
And i can see you feel it too
Noticing the shared feeling of boredom with the hippie.
Sometimes you wish you knew karate
Expressing a desire for self-defense skills like karate.
Oh, the things that you could do, like
Imagining the possibilities if the hippie possessed certain skills.
Crossing in between the greens
Describing an unconventional act of crossing between traffic lights or greens.
Just because you want to
Acting on personal desires rather than societal expectations.
Not because you ought to
Emphasizing actions driven by personal choice rather than obligation.
Oh, how can you ever explain
Pondering the difficulty of explaining oneself.
They can never feel your pain
Recognizing that others may not understand or empathize with one's pain.
Neither can you
Highlighting the speaker's inability to understand the hippie's pain as well.
Mr. crabtree
Introducing Mr. Crabtree as a character.
Sits in the window
Mr. Crabtree observing the surroundings from a window.
He sees a lot, but he don't know
Mr. Crabtree is aware but lacks understanding.
That was you across the yard
Identifying the hippie across the yard.
Throwing brownies at his car
Revealing a mischievous act of throwing brownies at Mr. Crabtree's car.
Sweet hippie
Addressing the hippie again, using a term of endearment.
Keeping your head low
Advising the hippie to keep a low profile.
Around the car park you swing low
Describing the hippie's movement around the car park.
Some days it all falls down around you
Acknowledging that some days everything falls apart for the hippie.
Some days you fall down in the snow while
Describing a literal fall in the snow on certain days.
Crossing in between the greens
Repetition of the act of crossing between greens, reinforcing the theme of personal choice.
Just because you want to
Reiterating the importance of personal desire over societal expectations.
Not because you ought to
Emphasizing actions driven by personal choice rather than obligation.
Oh, how can you ever explain
Pondering the difficulty of explaining oneself.
They can never feel your pain
Repeating the idea that others cannot truly understand the hippie's pain.
Neither can you
Reiterating the speaker's inability to understand the hippie's pain as well.
