A Trade
Trading Heartbeats: Griff Paws' Journey Through Love and Loss
Lyrics
And I know this song sounds like countless others
Acknowledging that the song may resemble other songs.
That I'm not unique and I should stick to covers
Recognizing the perception of lacking uniqueness and suggestion to stick to covering songs.
But I don't have the mind to sit here and work for this
Expressing a reluctance to engage in conventional efforts and work.
So I'm just gonna sing about the things that keep me from it
Choosing to sing about personal struggles instead of conforming to expectations.
I woke up today
Beginning the day with a negative emotional state.
Immediately felt like shit
Feeling emotionally distressed upon waking up.
Something I did yesterday must've been what triggered it
Suspecting that a past action triggered the negative emotions.
But I've been tryin hard to feed myself ignore the drugs
Putting effort into self-care and avoiding drugs.
replace them with things that feel more like a natural hug
Replacing drugs with activities that provide a more genuine sense of comfort.
You and your dog
Highlighting a connection with someone and their dog.
Me and my cat
Describing a personal connection with a cat.
But I'm stuck in fiction
Feeling trapped in a fictional world while others deal with reality.
While you dish the facts
Contrasting personal struggles with others who share facts.
I mean c'mon, it's clear
Asserting that the situation is evident and well-understood.
Ya heard it all here man
Claiming that the listener has heard the speaker's experiences.
I'm in love with her but she just wants to be a friend
Expressing unrequited love; the speaker loves someone who wants only friendship.
And nothing's wrong with that
Acknowledging that there is nothing inherently wrong with being friends.
So why am I so sad
Expressing sadness despite the absence of a problem.
Why can't I just be ok
Questioning why the speaker cannot simply be content.
Sharing my love without expecting a trade
Desiring to share love without expecting anything in return.
My addiction to love
Acknowledging a struggle with an addiction to love.
I'm workin on that
Working on overcoming the addiction to love.
Used to hug my pillow, now I use it to support my back
Transforming a pillow from a source of comfort to back support.
While I play guitar
Playing guitar as an outlet despite difficulties.
And try hard to sing
Struggling to sing due to excessive weed consumption.
Even though I can't because I smoke too much weed
Linking difficulty in singing to the use of weed.
