Unveiling the Heart's Resistance: Check the Fences by Garland Green
Lyrics
I left satisfied
Expressing contentment or fulfillment after a situation.
I won't be needing any more from you tonight
Declaring independence and stating that no more is needed from the other person for the night.
I stagger right
Describing a stagger or movement to the right, possibly symbolic of moving away.
No more leaning over you into the night
Expressing a decision to no longer depend on or lean on the other person into the night.
I've felt this all before
Acknowledging a sense of familiarity with the situation.
But it takes some time
Recognizing that understanding and resolution take time.
I'm feeling all but self assured
Feeling everything except self-assured or confident.
Watch it fall in line
Observing things fall into place or align, possibly in a negative way.
All hands on deck are called
Calling for collective effort or attention.
Won't be the start of
Anticipating that this won't mark the beginning of something new.
I Won't be apart of your somebody else
Refusing to be a part of someone else's life.
Won't be that part of
Reiterating the decision not to play a specific role in someone's life.
Won't be no son of be no son of mine
Rejecting the idea of being someone's son.
God knows I've tried
Expressing efforts made, likely in vain, to leave the situation.
But leaving here is something I have been denied
Not being able to leave, indicating a sense of denial.
My hands are tied
Feeling restricted or constrained, as if unable to take action.
Rubber arms are twisting easily this time
Describing a situation where resistance is weak or easily overcome.
I've felt this all before
Recalling a similar experience in the past.
But it takes some time
Acknowledging the time required to process and understand the situation.
I'm feeling all but self assured
Experiencing a lack of self-assurance or confidence.
Watch it fall in line
Witnessing things fall into place, possibly in a negative or challenging manner.
All hands on deck are called
Calling for collective effort or attention once again.
Won't be the start of
Stating that this won't mark the beginning of something new.
I Won't be apart of your somebody else
Refusing to be involved in someone else's life.
Won't be that part of
Reiterating the decision not to play a specific role in someone's life.
Won't be no son of be no son of mine
Rejecting the idea of being someone's son once again.
Won't be the start of I
Asserting that the speaker won't mark the beginning of something new.
Won't be apart of your somebody else
Refusing to be a part of someone else's life.
Won't be that part of
Reiterating the decision not to play a specific role in someone's life.
Won't be no son of be no son of mine
Rejecting the idea of being someone's son for the final time.
