Ballad of a Fisherman's Wife
Resilience Unveiled: The Ballad of a Fisherman's Struggle
Lyrics
What the hell is going on here?
Expressing confusion and concern about the current situation or events.
Took my living and you took my friends
Feeling a loss of both livelihood and social connections.
This is a time-bomb and it can happen anywhere
Describing the current circumstances as a potential crisis that could occur anywhere.
It could happen right here
Highlighting the immediacy and proximity of the crisis, suggesting it could happen at the present location.
It could happen to you too
Warning that the crisis is not isolated and could affect anyone.
What if it was in your backyard?
Raising a hypothetical scenario to provoke empathy and reflection.
What if it was your way of life?
Asking the listener to consider the impact on their own way of life.
I bet you’d go crazy too
Suggesting that facing such a crisis would induce a strong emotional reaction.
I bet you’d lose your mind too
Speculating that the listener would also experience a mental breakdown.
A lot of people are on the edge
Noting that many people are emotionally strained or close to their breaking point.
Found the edge a long time ago
Implying that some individuals have been dealing with difficulties for a long time.
You wanna see real anger
Expressing a desire to witness genuine anger.
You wanna see your sorrow
Expressing a desire to witness deep sorrow.
But the good thing is
Finding hope or positivity amidst the challenging circumstances.
We’ve got to bring the love
Emphasizing the need to promote love and compassion despite the difficulties.
And we can’t let go and we can’t give up
Stressing the importance of holding on and not giving up in the face of adversity.
What if it was in your backyard?
Repeating the hypothetical scenario to reinforce the message of empathy.
What if it was your way of life?
Reiterating the impact on one's way of life and prompting reflection.
I bet you’d go crazy too
Reiterating the potential for intense emotional reactions in such a situation.
I bet you’d lose your mind too
Reiterating the speculation that the listener would undergo mental distress.
Papers say this knocked us on our knees
Refuting claims that the crisis brought the community to its knees, suggesting they were already struggling.
We were already on our knees
Emphasizing the pre-existing challenges faced by the community.
They said the golf was dead
Rejecting the notion that the crisis signaled the end of a cherished activity (golf).
And it was never going to come back
Challenging the pessimistic belief that the situation would never improve.
You’d better hurry up and know it
Expressing a sense of urgency in expressing love and commitment before it's too late.
I wanna love you to the end of the line
-You’d better hurry up and know it
-I wanna love you to the end of the line
-You’d better hurry up and know it
-I wanna love you to the end of the line
-You’d better hurry up and know it
-I wanna love you to the end of the line
