We Tried
Embracing Imperfections: A Melting Ice Cream Tale of Trying and Learning
Lyrics
We looked into our ice cream
We reflected on our ice cream.
cnd thought of how hard we tried
Contemplated the effort we put in.
That's good it started melting
Positive response to it melting, aligning with pride.
It matches our sense of pride
Melting ice cream symbolizes a match with their sense of pride.
Don't tell the neighbors
Emphasizing secrecy from neighbors.
We didn't know them that well, anyway
They didn't know the neighbors well.
Next time, we do favor
Commitment to doing favors in the future.
We'll read the brochure, and listen to what they say
Learning from mistakes, reading brochures, and following advice.
What they say
Reiteration of the importance of advice.
But until next time, at least we know
Despite failures, they gained knowledge for the future.
We tried, we tried, we tried like he did
Repeated expression of effort and trying, likening to someone else.
We tried, we tried, we tried like he did
Continued emphasis on persistent efforts.
We have delusions as prodigy
Reference to having grand illusions or ambitions.
We entertain in our spare time
They find enjoyment in entertaining themselves.
Great feats like riding thunder
Achievements like "riding thunder" indicate their prowess.
cs we nail the hand jive
Skilled in hand jive, suggesting competence.
But if we play it safe, we never have to learn
Encouragement to take risks for learning.
No products of the divine
Contrast to divine origins, asserting human nature.
So often we think we're perfect
Admitting imperfections despite self-perceived perfection.
Turns out we're just fine
Realization that being just fine is acceptable.
Don't tell the neighbors
Neighbor's positive perception of them.
I think they think we're pretty cool, all the time
Belief that neighbors consider them cool.
cnd if, they need a favor
Commitment to helping neighbors when needed.
We'll put on our red boots and
Preparedness to assist, despite past failures.
Won't mention that we just let our good friend die
Mention of a past mistake but avoiding disclosure.
But we tried, we tried, we tried like he did
Repetition of the theme of trying, akin to someone else.
We tried, we tried, we tried like he did
Continued emphasis on persistent efforts.
We tried, we tried, we tried
Reiteration of their attempts to succeed.
We tried, we tried, we tried, we tried
Final affirmation of their persistent efforts.
