Embracing Resilience: A Melodic Journey through Adversity with Girls Rituals
Lyrics
I'll do my best to be softer
I'll strive to be gentler and more compassionate.
I'll be tap water
I'll be commonplace, ordinary, and easily accessible like tap water.
Slipping through unknown claws
Navigating through unknown challenges or difficulties.
I'll get strong and I'll get better
I'll become emotionally and mentally stronger, improving over time.
Or at the very least
At the very least, there will be a continuation of time despite challenges.
The days will keep moving on
Time will persist, and life will continue despite difficulties.
But in all the awful days ahead
In the midst of challenging days in the future.
If our wounds won't heal over
If our emotional wounds don't heal over time.
If we can make the world our bed
If we can create a comforting space in the world.
We can crawl beneath the covers
We can find solace by hiding beneath the covers.
We can hold ourselves instead
Finding comfort and support by holding ourselves tightly.
While it's peeking through the mirrors
During moments of reflection, possibly on oneself.
While it gets nearer overhead
As challenges or difficulties approach and become imminent.
We'll hold ourselves together hold ourselves
Remaining united and composed during tough times.
I'm gonna paint my nails grey
Expressing a choice to paint one's nails the color grey.
I'm gonna paint my nails grey
Reiteration of the intention to paint nails grey.
The only thing I did was sleep
Describing a day where the only activity was sleeping on the couch.
Out on the couch today
Reaffirmation of the decision to paint nails grey.
I'm gonna paint my nails grey
Final confirmation of the intention to paint nails the color grey.
