HAPPY PAIN
Embracing Transcendence: Grayson Ratliff's Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Is this what they call the top of the slope
Contemplating if the current state is the peak of a situation
I wish how I talked was through guitar notes
Expressing a desire to communicate solely through music
then I wouldn't care how I spoke
Indifferent to spoken language if communication is through guitar notes
I need some fresh air and maybe a smoke
Seeking a break and perhaps finding solace in smoking
The heat from the crowd whispers they speak
Feeling the warmth of the audience's reaction
It's all going down down to their feet
Events unfolding and captivating the audience down to their feet
And I soar
Experiencing a soaring sensation, potentially metaphorical
Higher than I was
Elevating to a higher state than before
I'm reborn
Symbolizing a spiritual or personal rebirth
With a smile I can trust
Attaining a genuine and trustworthy happiness
The top of the sky the view is so vast
Describing a breathtaking view from the top of the sky
I'm riding on clouds that hold my past
Metaphorically riding on clouds that encapsulate the past
And I soar
Repeating the experience of soaring to emphasize the transformative journey
Higher then I was
Continuing the theme of elevation and personal growth
I'm reborn
Reiteration of rebirth and trust in happiness
With a smile I can trust
Emphasizing the reliability of the newfound smile
I realize I'm in my bed
Realizing the return to reality, possibly after a dream-like experience
With my guitar in my hand
Back in bed, holding a guitar, suggesting a connection between dreams and music
Writing this song For me
Writing a song for personal expression and reflection
Everything's still
Everything is calm and still after the transformative experience
And I'm happy
Expressing happiness in the current state of being
