Hey, Girl
Embrace the Sky: Unshackling the Weight of Expectations
Lyrics
What makes you think
Questioning the reason or basis behind one's beliefs or actions
You gotta hold
Suggesting a feeling of responsibility or burden
The world on your shoulders
Metaphorically carrying the weight of the entire world
And handle that load
Dealing with that responsibility
Who gave you
Questioning who gave authority or permission
The fine tooth comb
Symbolic of close scrutiny or intense examination
To judge your every move
Constantly evaluating and criticizing oneself
Before you've even started to make one
Before even initiating actions or decisions
Hey, girl
Addressing the person being spoken to
It's a beautiful day for flying
Encouraging the addressee to see the positive side of life
Don't you want to open your eyes
Inviting to perceive the beauty in the world despite challenges
You're dying
Suggesting a sense of urgency or the passing of time
Subtle was the way
Describing a subtle approach or manner in which difficulties arise
The clouds rolled in on you
Symbolizing obstacles or hardships coming into one's life
To fog up your windows
Obstructing clarity and positive outlook
And darken your view
Impairing one's perspective and optimism
An unforgiving face
Representing an unyielding or harsh judgment
Who dared you to escape
Challenging or prompting to break away from limitations
Living for the chance
Living with the hope for an opportunity to break free
To scare you back in place
Intimidation to confine or limit actions out of fear
Hey, girl
Reiterating the message to the person addressed earlier
It's a beautiful day for flying
Re-emphasizing the beauty of life despite hardships
Don't you want to open your eyes
Encouragement to open up and see the positive side
Hey, girl
Repeating the call to the addressee to open their eyes
It's a beautiful day for flying
Reiterating the beautiful opportunity to live despite challenges
Don't you want to open your eyes
Continued urging to perceive the beauty of life
You're dying
Highlighting the urgency of the situation
It's no way to live safe
Expressing dissatisfaction with a cautious and limited life
All wrapped up in my fears til I just suffocate
Feeling trapped and overwhelmed by fears
I will get through if it's the last thing I do
Determined to overcome challenges regardless of the cost
