The Streets
Navigating Life's Labyrinth: A Soul's Struggle and Triumph
Lyrics
Well I tried so hard but still I fall
Expressing effort and failure in an endeavor.
Fall back down the great below
Falling back into a challenging or difficult situation.
And it's been a while since I have prayed
Not having prayed for a while, indicating a sense of distance from spiritual practices.
But tonight I'm on my knees
Symbolic act of prayer, possibly in a moment of desperation or need.
I'm asking why, why, why me?
Expressing confusion or frustration about personal circumstances.
The streets is where I's born
Emphasizing a connection to one's origin in the streets.
And the streets is where I'll die
Stating a belief in dying in the streets, suggesting a connection to a gritty or challenging life.
Until then the streets is where I'll be
Commitment to staying in the streets until death.
So keep pouring the drinks till I forget my name
Using alcohol as a coping mechanism to forget personal identity or troubles.
I love my life but it gets hard
Acknowledging love for life despite facing difficulties.
As I'm sure it does for us all from time to time
Recognizing that life is challenging for everyone at times.
So keep living it through, I'll keep living it too
Encouraging perseverance and continuation in living life despite challenges.
I hang my head, hang it low
Symbolizing a sense of shame or defeat, lowering one's head.
And I pray that it gets a little better down the line
Expressing hope for improvement in the future.
Why? Why me?
Repeating the question of why life is difficult personally.
The streets is where I's born
Reiterating a connection to one's origin in the streets.
And the streets is where I'll die
Reaffirming the belief in dying in the streets.
Until then the streets is where I'll be
Commitment to staying in the streets until death.
Oh sweet mother of two you work hard, so hard to keep your heads above the water
Acknowledging the hard work of a mother of two.
And although I stand on the shore with a line, I can't seem to untangle it
Expressing difficulty in untangling personal desires from responsibilities.
From the selfish dreams of my own I wish I had just a little more money
Wishing for more financial resources to assist others in tough times.
To help you out in the times when it's hard, so hard, so hard
Highlighting the challenges faced by others in difficult times.
The streets is where I's born
Reiterating a connection to one's origin in the streets.
And the streets is where I'll die
Reaffirming the belief in dying in the streets.
Until then the streets is where I'll be
Commitment to staying in the streets until death.
