Passing
Passing Shadows: Unveiling the Hidden Struggles in Garrison Starr's Song
Lyrics
What can I do for you
Asking what assistance can be provided
Don't you know who I am
Expressing surprise that the person doesn't recognize the speaker's identity
I am worthy
Asserting self-worth
I am Jesus' right hand man
Feeling important, possibly in a supportive role
She said all you could use a hand
Commenting that everyone could use help
They could all use my hand
Stating willingness to assist everyone
But you're passing
Observing someone leaving or dying
You are here and then you are gone
Noting the transient nature of the person's presence
I said you're passing
Reiterating the idea of someone passing away or leaving
And I'm angry at the world
Expressing frustration with the world
She said I'm angry at the world
Confirming shared frustration
Didn't you know
Asking about the person's awareness
That boy sittin' over there
Pointing out a boy in a dire situation
With the way he is going
Indicating the boy's troubling path
He hasn't got a prayer
Suggesting the boy's lack of hope
And he's probably not even worth knowing
Casting doubt on the boy's worth
She said all you could use a hand
Repeating the offer of help
They could all use my hand
Reiterating readiness to assist
But you're passing
Reiterating the transient nature of someone's presence
You are here and then you are gone
Highlighting the temporary nature of existence
I said you're passing
Repeating the notion of someone leaving or passing away
And I'm angry at the world
Reiterating frustration with the world
She says I'm angry at the world
Confirming shared frustration
Didn't you know
Asking about awareness once again
If only you'd realize
Expressing hope for understanding
If only you'd listen
Desiring attention and comprehension
Oh won't you realize
Requesting realization of a specific thought
Is that what you've been thinkin'
Questioning someone's thought process
I said you're passing
Reiterating the transient nature of someone's presence
You are here and then you are gone
Reiterating the impermanence of existence
I said you're passing
Reiterating the idea of someone leaving or passing away
And I'm angry at the world
Reiterating frustration with the world
She thinks I'm angry at the world
Perceiving misunderstanding about frustration
Not really angry at the world
Clarifying anger directed at someone specific
Just angry at you you ignorant girl
Expressing anger toward an ignorant girl
Didn't you know
Asking once more about awareness
