Life is a Gradient
Embracing Life's Gradient: A Journey of Balance and Sanity
Lyrics
Someone once told me eons ago
Reflecting on advice received in the distant past.
Never let your demons or weaknesses show
Encouragement to hide personal struggles and flaws.
Stick to your guns boy never relent
Urging to stay true to one's principles and not give in.
Now I finally know what that person meant
Understanding the wisdom of the previous advice.
I know a woman she's a positivist
Introducing a woman characterized by a positive mindset.
She'll deconstruct your heart and compile a list
Describing her ability to analyze emotions and create a list.
She'll connect all your problems with things your parents did
Connecting personal issues to parental influences.
You just smile and nod and go along with it
Suggesting compliance despite skepticism or disagreement.
Life is a gradient baby
Life is depicted as a gradual and continuous journey.
Sometimes I'm neither happy nor sad
Acknowledging the fluctuating nature of emotions.
I know sometimes I go a little bit crazy
Admitting occasional moments of emotional instability.
But it's neither good nor bad
Stating that such moments are neither inherently positive nor negative.
On a bathroom wall someone wrote Insanity
Quoting a message found on a bathroom wall about insanity.
Is doing the same thing but expecting it to be
Defining insanity as repeating actions and expecting different results.
Different in the end than it always is
Emphasizing the predictable outcome of such actions.
Then glancing in the mirror I heard violins
Experiencing a moment of self-awareness or revelation.
Life is a gradient baby
Reiterating the idea that life is a continuous spectrum.
Sometimes I'm neither happy nor sad
Highlighting the ambivalence of emotions in the journey.
It's true sometimes I go a little bit crazy
Reaffirming occasional moments of emotional instability.
But it's neither good nor bad
Reiterating that such moments are neither inherently positive nor negative.
Life is a gradient baby
Emphasizing again that life is a continuous spectrum.
Sometimes I'm neither happy or sad
Acknowledging the ongoing emotional ambiguity.
Sometimes I feel a little crazy
Expressing occasional feelings of craziness or instability.
But it's neither good nor bad
Reiterating that such feelings are neither inherently positive nor negative.
