Lyrics
Simmer down,
Encouraging the listener to calm down.
Hush now, child
Reiterating the need for quietness, possibly addressing someone younger or less experienced.
You're a big girl now
Acknowledging maturity and responsibility.
Keep your head off the ground
Advising to stay strong and not be disheartened.
You're a big girl now
Repetition of the theme of growing up and facing challenges.
Keep your head off the ground
Emphasizing the importance of maintaining composure.
I know you stopped
Recognizing a pause or hesitation in progress.
And you're upset
Addressing emotional distress or disappointment.
But it's getting late
Noting the passage of time and questioning the value of the current situation.
What good is this?
Raising doubts about the significance of the current circumstances.
I'm building these walls
Symbolizing personal barriers or emotional walls.
It's taking so many years
Expressing the time-consuming nature of building these emotional defenses.
Call you to come here
Attempting to reach out to someone for support.
And use all of fists
Suggesting a struggle, possibly through a metaphorical use of fists.
To break them down
Describing the effort to break down emotional barriers.
Down, down
-To break down
-Down, down
Repetition for emphasis on breaking down these barriers.
Down, down
-I hear them too
Indicating awareness of external opinions or pressures.
I'm at your feet
Positioning oneself in a humble manner, possibly seeking guidance.
Of these wolves sure hungry
Introducing the metaphor of wolves, possibly representing challenges or adversaries.
Who will do take me
-I'm building these walls
Continuing the metaphor of building walls and seeking assistance.
It's taking so many years
-Call you to come near
-And use all of fists
Reiterating the struggle, possibly suggesting a confrontational approach.
To break them down
Emphasizing the effort to break down emotional barriers.
Down, down
-To break down
-Down, down
Repetition for heightened emphasis on breaking down these barriers.
Down, down
-I hear them too
-I'm at your feet
Reiterating humility and seeking support or guidance.
