Body on My Shoulders
Echoes of Redemption: Navigating Life's Weight in 'Body on My Shoulders'
Lyrics
Will I be the same one
Contemplating personal change or transformation.
Will be the same old kid that left from Vermont
Reflecting on whether one has remained the same after leaving Vermont.
Will I have the same fun
Questioning if the same level of enjoyment will persist.
Will I let all my head back to where it was, oh
Wondering if past thoughts will resurface.
Will I give the same love, or will I be stone cold for the rest of my life cause
Contemplating the ability to love or the risk of becoming emotionally distant.
Oh can you tell, there’s a body on my shoulders, on my shoulders
Expressing the burden of carrying a heavy responsibility or guilt.
Oh I’m fucked up in NOLA, with a body on my shoulders, it’s true...
Admitting personal struggles or challenges in New Orleans.
And all the while I wait for you
Waiting for someone with anticipation.
All the while I pray for you
Praying for someone during a difficult time.
Will I get my hopes up
Uncertain about getting optimistic due to current emotional state.
Cause all I know right now is I’m dejected and alone, but
Feeling rejected and isolated in the present moment.
If you hold my head up
Hoping for support or upliftment from someone.
Carry this weight with me we’ll find some solace
Seeking comfort together to find solace.
But I let my eyes shut, and you come starin’ down on me and my cold blood
Experiencing vulnerability and the gaze of another person.
Oh can you tell, there’s a body on my shoulders, on my shoulders
Reiterating the heavy burden or responsibility.
Oh I’m fucked up in NOLA, with a body on my shoulders, it’s true...
Acknowledging personal difficulties in New Orleans.
And all the while I wait for you
Continuing to wait for someone with anticipation.
Oh and all the while we pray for you
Collectively praying for someone's well-being.
Tell me, tell me that I’ll be fine
Seeking reassurance about future well-being.
I crashed down your door just to see if you’re inside
Expressing urgency or determination to connect with someone.
Cause oh in my head you come alive, alive
Imagining someone coming to life in the mind.
We pump your chest ‘till your breath comes back to life
Metaphorically attempting to revive someone.
Oh can you tell, there’s a body on these shoulders, on my shoulders
Reiterating the heavy burden on the shoulders.
Oh I’m fucked up in NOLA, with a body on my shoulders, on our shoulders
Acknowledging personal struggles in New Orleans, shared with others.
Oh we’re fucked up in NOLA, with a body on our shoulders, it’s true...
Highlighting collective challenges faced in New Orleans.
And all the while I wait for you, oh and all we pray for, pray for you
Continuing to wait with collective prayers for someone.
Oh we’re fucked up in NOLA, with a body our my shoulders, on our shoulders
Emphasizing the shared burden on everyone's shoulders.
