Approval
Resilience Unveiled: Defying Expectations in Hannah Geller's Approval
Lyrics
And I try so hard to put myself where I need to be
Expressing effort to position oneself appropriately.
But you pull me down
Feeling hindered or held back by someone.
Just like the others do
Noticing a pattern of being pulled down like others do.
Right from underneath
Experiencing interference from underneath.
You know it's true
Acknowledging the undeniable truth of the situation.
For me this is it
Implying a significant point or moment.
Maybe it's all I do
Suggesting that this struggle may define one's existence.
I refuse to let it all just go to waste
Determined not to let efforts go to waste.
Say what you need
Inviting others to express their opinions or needs.
Pretend that it is crucial
Acknowledging and dismissing the perceived importance.
I don't need your approval
Declaring independence from the need for approval.
And I try so hard
Reiterating the effort to overcome challenges.
And I try so hard to ask myself what I want to do
Attempting self-reflection on personal desires.
But I circle back, every time I ask
Returning to the same thoughts despite efforts.
Like it's nothing new
Emphasizing the repetitiveness of the situation.
You know it's true
Reaffirming the truth of the struggle.
For me this is it
Restating the significance of the current state.
Maybe it's all I do
Considering that this might be the predominant experience.
I refuse to let it all just go to waste
Commitment not to let efforts go in vain.
Say what you need
Encouraging open expression while downplaying importance.
Pretend that it is crucial
Reiterating the unimportance of seeking validation.
I don't need your approval
Asserting independence from the need for approval.
Don't need it from you
Stating explicitly that approval from others is not required.
And I try so hard to put myself where I need to be
Repeating the effort to place oneself appropriately.
